Outstanding Experience!! Our special order, "Fusion" drink of Sangria & Margarita, started the night. The salsa and chips were better than any starter I've ever had. Our entrees, Chile Verde, Enchiladas de Camaron and Camarones de Tequila, were thoroughly enjoyed by all. We all loved the cilantro-lime rice and black beans as our sides and the service was top notch!! This is definitely a hidden gem and wonderful find, in Fairfield, Ca. I highly recommend.

Food was amazing, by the time we set down and ordered I already had my drink and food served to me in under four minutes! Waitress was back every three minutes to check on us! Overall experience was fantastic! Will be back every time I’m in the area!

Loved it! Finally a restaurant that makes Justice to Mexican food. First of all, presentation, the restaurant is clean and all dishes had a beautiful presentation. My Enchiladas Oaxaqueñas (photo attached) were made with tender chicken, the mole flavor and sweetness were spot on, wonderful! My tamarind margarita with Don Julio reposado had the perfect balance of tequila and tamarind flavor, delicious! Then we had fried banana with vanilla icecream for dessert. Congratulations and keep up the good work and putting Mexican food in the best place possible.

We enjoyed it very much. We were meeting cousins from out of town and it was good food, and quiet enough that we could talk to each other. We will go back!
