The food was amazing! Great atmosphere, great service, and convenient location. Had the shrimp aguachile and asada quesadillas and fish tacos. The food presentation was definitely above and beyond other restaurants in Metairie. You definitely get your money's worth here!

I thought this spot was pretty good. I want to say I came here on a Tuesday while happy hour was still going on. I was promptly seated while I waited for another friend. The happy hour special with the appetizers and drinks was going on and then I got the Birria tacos . Our waiter was very attentive as well. Our food was brought out very quickly. The price, food, and service were all great! I will be back

My friend and I came here for lunch yesterday (a Sunday). It's a colorful place inside with lots of cool artwork and eccentricities. They give you complimentary chips and salsa to start with.They have their regular menu selections and then they have a separate menu on the table with daily lunch options. My friend chose the Birria Tacos from the regular menu. I chose the 2 item lunch combo from the lunch menu. With that, I got a Chicken Enchilada and an Asada Taco. Both of our entrees included a side of rice and beans.My friend said her Birria Tacos were very good. Just make sure to get plenty of napkins, because they are messy. My meal was good also. Note that the portion sizes are on the small side though. My enchilada was so tiny and tightly rolled it looked to me like a Taquito, not a traditional Enchilada. The tacos are all street taco size, too. (meaning smaller than average) Overall, service was very good, and we will come back again to try some of the other items on the menu that also sounded good.

there has been a lot of positive talk about this restaurant so decided to check it out. overall it delivers more authentic mexican-style food as opposed to tex mex. they offer a lunch special so we ordered the enchiladas verdes and enchiladas verdes plus beef taco. we also got a single taco cauliflower and complimentary chips and salsa were provided.the chips and salsa were good, the salsa tasted homemade and had good flavor. the cauliflower taco was outstanding with excellent flavor on both the cauliflower and the toppings; also good portion size for the taco. the enchiladas and taco were also good - a decent portion size so that you are full but do not have leftovers. overall a good place for authentic-style mexican food with good flavor and medium portion size

This place was really cute and was clean. The place was kind of empty on a Saturday around 4ish or so. I was greeted upon entering and decided to sit at the bar. Please get the blueberry mint margarita....it was delicious to the last drop. I was told the bartender makes his own syrups for the drinks and it honestly tasted like it. I got the birra tacos to eat which is 3 small tacos and comes with rice and beans. I did think serving sizes were smaller than I'm use to for the price but the flavors were good. They also bought out complimentary chips and salsa so that helped with portion size. I paid about $30 or so. Although I don't think there's anything spectacular about this place, I'd go back.
