Customer Reviews

"We had been looking for a new Mexican restaurant and finally found it. Don Jose has hands down the best carnival verde I've ever had! Hubs loves the shredded chicken nachos and I've been having fun trying their other dishes. Oh and don't be fooled by their corn tortillas they make in house. They look just like the flour and don't fall apart like the other typical corn tortillas. They're prime, a must try."

"visited this Mexican restaurant for the first time today with my family, and WOW ... we were all blown away! I ordered the chicken and steak mixed fajitas, and I can honestly say they were the BEST I've ever had. Everything was sizzling, tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere made the experience even better. The restaurant is beautifully decorated for Christmas -- warm lights, festive touches, and such a cozy vibe. It felt so welcoming the moment we walked in. Our server, Karina, was incredible. She was kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her service truly made our first visit unforgettable."

"This restaurant has both the best food and most kind-hearted people in the world running the place! The atmosphere inside is vibrant, with modern lights and music that's sure to make any outing into a fond memory. My favorite thing to order is their birria pizza, it's literally to DIE for! If you're looking for a place to hang out with friends, catch up with family, or celebrate something special, you've found the PERFECT place."

"This place was awesome. Has some of my favorite proteins for tacos, including Cabeza and Lengua. Very authentic food. Excellent margaritas done by the bartender named Karina. Ask for her to make your drink."

"Spot on Mexican Food! I ordered the menudo and ceviche negro. Let me say that the menudo alone was more than enough. So good the broth, plenty of tripe and one fat pigs feet and most importantly no hominy (authenticly mexican imo). 10 out of 10 would recommend! My daughter(10) got birria tacos, and my son and nephew got the cheese burger smh, which was pretty good. The corn tortillas are homemade and you could tell instantly. Honestly good service, our server Karilina (it said Kari on the receipt) was awesome. Very helpful and her recommendations were on point lamf. The establishment was very clean, and service was fast. 10 out of 10 recommendation this place!"

- John Z.

"This restaurant is really good, the service is exceptional. They opened not too long ago, and let me tell you. I will be back. They have options for everyone. We got the choripollo, tri burrito, fajita quesadilla, burger, and kids quesadilla. Everything was delicious, and they came out together and freshly cooked. If you're in the area, I recommend coming here for your Mexican food needs. "
