    Our experience was very nice up until the end . Our waitress added 2 extra drinks to our tab and when we asked about it she kind of made it seem like we didn’t recall ordering … but we would know if we had an extra drink . So visit was pleasant until the end .

    Reservations are basically meaningless. Great food, but restaurant is very small and gets overcrowded easily.

    My and I had lunch there as we often do. Never fails to please. I had the chorizo avocado egg breakfast burrito. And as usual I took half home. My friend had the mini chimis with multiple fillings. Half of her order went home. We both also enjoyed jamaicas The ambience has a low key positive vibe no matter how busy

    We had a reservation for 5:30 p.m. and had to change it to 5:00 p.m. at the last minute. It was no problem for them to changed it, they were very polite and helpful and changed it. Now, for the food and service, this was some of the best Mecican Food we ever had, every thing was served fast and hot. It made us fell like we were sitting in a restuarant in Mexico. The Margarittas were great and tasty. For a small restuarant, the service was great, they have a great and polite staff. We will be back. Thank you very much for a wonderful dinner.,

    First time dining here. I had heard they have great breakfast offerings, so we decided to try it, but we went there for dinner. Chili rellenos were average, beans and rice were tasteless, house margarita was sour. I went there on a Sunday evening, so maybe their A- team wasn’t in the kitchen. Staff was nice. Tables are very small and seats are metal chairs, pretty uncomfortable.
