    This was a hidden gem, I am so happy I dined here. Food is really good, quantity is much higher than other restaurants. 2 Margaritas for 4.99 such an awesome deal.

    Food comes in very large portions. The drinks were super large as well. My steak was 75% fat, but all the other options on my plate made up for that. The customer service wasnt all that great, but it could have been because of the language barrier

    Today was the second time my wife and I visited this place for lunch. Lunchtime is very peaceful and relaxing to enjoy a meal whether with someone else or by yourself. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food is pretty good. I would not call it my favorite place to eat but it’s good quality and price. The sauce used in burrito and enchilada are bland in my opinion and even a little ‘tomatoey’. I do like the options for dinner combinations where you can choose how to build it essentially. Fajita quesadillas are very good according to my wife.

    This is always a nice date night spot for my spouse and I. The staff does not speak very much English. So we communicate with our Google translate. Customer service there is so sweet. I love this place. Oh we love sitting at the bar. You never know who you will meet. That's the real social networking.

    Delicious tacos de lengua & al pastor. If you want some authentic street tacos (and handmade tortillas!!) & something different than the typical "tex-mex" (they have that too!), then come check out this little gem! Delicious food, friendly staff, clean establishment & to top it off, yummy margaritas! Great portions for the price too. We would come back often if we lived in the area. Gracias El Aguaje y Julia por su excelente hospitalidad!
