We walked in and immediately I was excited because THIS IS AUTHENTIC Mexican food. The smell, sight, and sound all matched! Up front you've got booths for sitting and eating privately with your group. The back (where you order!) is set up cafeteria style so solo diners can get their food, eat it, and get back to work quickly! This place does it right! We ordered off the big full color menu board (it's bigger in real life!!),and proceeded to settle into the closest open booth. Within moments of settling in, we've got chips and salsa... Drinks were closely followed! Let's start with chips and salsa... The chips were clearly freshly fried as they still had the faintest of sizzle on them, the warm oil, and the obvious smell of fresh fried tortillas. Huge bonus points!! However, some chips were not totally fried and they were still a little chewy so too many chips are being fried at once... Cut it back a little bit. Also our chips didn't seem to have any salt! The salsa... Perfection. Chunky enough, liquid enough, spice enough...quantity not enough! It was sooooo good! There's a spice in there that kicks it up a notch... A little extra cumin? Whatever, it works! The margaritas arrived. They look typical Mexican restaurant margarita. One swizzle and a sip later says otherwise!! First off, I love lime... This wedge in my glass was sooo fresh and juicy. So huge points for GOOD FRESH LIMES!! KEEP THAT UP!!!!! Margaritas not too weak, not so strong you can't enjoy, they were perfect. Then the food came. I don't think I've ever seen a burrito this big. I didn't know they made tortillas this big to make burritos this big!!..... It's big... The picture does not do justice on how BIG it really is. It was delicious. I ate 98% of it (and was still full half way into the next day!!)! HOW...EVER!.... Praises be told, the food has room to improve. Overall the food lacked SALT to enhance supporting flavors. Don't be afraid of salt! Explore some ancient Abuela recipes and kick it up a notch, the white folk can handle it!! I've read passed reviews and see it's changed ownership fairly recently, so I hope they listen to their customers. Keeps the live music! We had two different sets of entertainment! That was awesome!!! I only got info for the second, but the first guy was pretty great for old style country music. The second set was more mix of contemporary country and modern works BUT they were reworked for their specific vocal range and style and it was awesome! Jordan was super friendly around the floor AND can sing and Lydia had the voice of an Angel (I'm an Atheist/Satanist so that a major compliment). I can't wait to eat here again! Also, don't put up a "kiss the cook" sign if you can't actually kiss the cook... Cuz he's hot too😊
