I like this restaurant so much that I logged into my other account to rate the restaurant. The food is amazing. I’ve been here for lunch during the week a few times and it’s never overcrowded, but the service is always great and so is the food.

Was my first time here and the food and service were excellent. Wife and I ate at the bar and want to give a special shout out to Kat K for excellent service during our entire meal. We got the Elotes Dip, Guac, and multiple tacos (Birra, Mahi Mahi, and Lobster). Everything was very good and we will definitely be back again.

Paige was amazing. Not only was she working the bar and making exceptional drinks, she was also serving us at a table as well as a few other tables. The restaurant was very busy and she was definitely taking more than her share and doing it beautifully! I would go here again just to have service from Paige.

Our visit took place on a Saturday around noon which is important as experiences differ based on when you come. Surprisingly, the restaurant was dead with only a few other people here. This played to our benefit as the restaurant was clean and we got a nice window seat! On to the food, I ordered the lobster taco which included an INCREDIBLE blend of well prepared lobster, sweet corn, onion, and a sauce that makes your taste buds dance in a sweet celebration of Devine flavor! The barbacoa taco I ordered was good but not great, well worth the few extra dollars to upgrade to a speciality taco. The person I came with got “The OC” bowl which in their words was “scrumptious and splendid”. Despite great food, I would give this a 4.7 as our server was not attentive despite only a few parties being in the restaurant. Worth the visit, especially for lunch!

We've been wanting to go here for awhile and I'm glad we finally did. The house guac was very good, as well as the three traditional tacos I had. Our server Julia was fantastic, she took care of us the entire time.

The OC Burrito is one of the best burritos I’ve ever had and I eat a lot of burritos. Mexican Pizza was also very good. The Verde burrito was meh, a little salty and overly vinegary for my taste.

The Colorado burrito is one of the best burritos I have had, very flavorful and filling. Eating at lunch time 11-3pm has a discount on the normal price if you eat in. Take out is the normal menu price. The burrito had a light spicy but well flavored combination. I will highly recommend this, only if you can tolerate spices. The staff was cool and had great vibes. The only issue is parking is limited but meters aren't too expensive.

Fantastic food and margaritas! Service is excellent. I visit here often and have several favorites including the Elotes Dip, Goat Cheese Guacamole, Maduros and anything with their Barbacoa. The Chorizo Gravy at brunch is especially delicious. I love this place.
