“ Absolutely delicious Mexican fare without the heaviness you get from the order by number restaurants. Terrific bartender and tasty cocktails as well. We will be back. *** we did go back, for breakfast and it was yummy. I was a little suspicious of biscuits at a Mexican place but these were quite tasty. They have a tasty jam that looks like strawberry but that has a very unique flavor I meant to ask what it was. We are adding it as one of our regular breakfast spots. ”
“ This is one of our favorite Decatur spots and definitely a hidden gem. Their cocktails really shine here and are quite reasonably priced for the area! Our favorite menu items are the happy hour nachos or taquitos (along with the salsa of course ) overall we just love the ambience here, their playlist is always a vibe, and patio fun and dog friendly! ”
“ Catherine and her staff did such an amazing job hosting our wedding welcome dinner. We could not have asked for a better experience and place to welcome our family and friends. Food is always fresh, margs are tasty and service is impeccable. ”
“ This is my top spot in downtown Decatur. My husband and I come in at least monthly, and I love bringing in friends to experience it for the first time! The owner Catherine is warm and friendly, and wants to make sure you have a great time. While I am partial to the tacos, everything I have had is great. The food is fresh, the cocktails are on point. Validated parking at the amli lot, daily happy hour- what’s not to love? ”
“ Came here for brunch with my husband. Very cute spot with nice decorations and very clean. We sat at the bar and the bartender/server was very nice! We ordered a cinnamon roll which was so delicious and 2 breakfast burritos which were equally delicious and filling! Definitely will be back again! ”
“ This place is fantastic! Their brunch selections are fantastic and incredibly well priced. The coffee was boutique coffee shop quality too. It’s hard finding a place that has really good food AND really good coffee, but this is the place. There’s a nice outdoor patio, but the indoor seating is nice as well. Service was exceptional and everyone working was incredibly helpful and attentive. There are a lot of vegetarian options which are appreciated. I will be coming back again - and soon! ”
“ What a nice discovery. The margaritas are delicious. Service is really good. Started off with the chips trio. The guacomole was creamy and perfect and the salsa verde was spot on. We also had a quesadilla with mushrooms and tacos with carne asada and carnitas. Great flavors. And we also got the creamy pintos as a side. I recommend it too. ”
“ Food is great and the staff was very friendly. I had carnitas and al pastor tacos with rice and refried beans. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to Mexican rice but theirs is delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating. ”
