From the moment we walked into this Mexican restaurant, it was clear we were in for something special. The atmosphere immediately felt welcoming and relaxed — the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy your food, and actually settle into the experience rather than feeling rushed out the door. Let me start with the food, because it was genuinely excellent. I ordered the Mole enchilada, and it was outstanding. The mole sauce was rich, deep, and layered with flavor — not overly sweet, not bitter, and clearly made with care and patience. You could really taste the complexity that makes mole such a special dish when it’s done right. The enchilada itself was perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and balanced beautifully with the sauce. Every bite felt comforting and indulgent without being heavy. This is the kind of dish you think about after you leave. To go with it, I had a Corona, which paired perfectly with the meal. Cold, refreshing, and exactly what you want alongside bold, flavorful Mexican food. Simple, classic, and satisfying. My friend ordered the “Come Back to Life”, and honestly, that name couldn’t have been more accurate. It was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor — the kind of dish that wakes up your palate and makes you feel energized halfway through the meal. You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were thoughtfully put together rather than just thrown on a plate. What really stood out to both of us was how well-executed everything was. Nothing felt rushed or careless. The food came out hot, beautifully presented, and clearly made by people who care about what they’re serving. Portions were generous without being over-the-top, and we left feeling satisfied rather than stuffed. Beyond the food, the overall experience made the meal even better. The vibe was relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy good conversation while eating genuinely great food. It’s the kind of place you’d happily return to — whether for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or when you’re specifically craving quality Mexican cuisine. In short: The food was really, really good. The Mole enchilada alone is worth the visit, and paired with a cold Corona, it made for a near-perfect meal. Add in dishes like the Come Back to Life, and it’s clear this place knows what it’s doing. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back.
