“ Skulls Everywhere, the ambience of this restaurant is amazing! The California Burrito was delicious. Don’t miss out if you’ve never been. ”
“ Great Mexican place for a quick bite in this area. They also have good taco tuesday specials and are kid friendly ”
“ I really enjoyed the food. The stake platter is really good if I was to choose. Only thing I would say is I wish the inside was a little less claustrophobic. They have a variety of places to sit but for someone who isn't all that social I wouldn't hate a booth ”
“ Went to this new location about two weeks ago for lunch. Server was very friendly, but I couldn’t remember his name, but he made a couple of great drink suggestions. I had the spicy watermelon margarita, and my wife their white sangria. I don’t typically drink margaritas, but I did enjoy this one quite a bit. My wife thought their white sangria was one of the better ones she’s had. I’d highly recommend their queso as well. We both had chicken bowls for our meal. The bowls were large and they come with guacamole, which is great. However, I would have preferred that the chicken had more seasoning. I won’t knock off a star for that, because the bowl as a whole was quite tasty. ”
“ A lovely restaurant for great and easy Mexican food. Their taco Tuesday deal is always great! Very nice lunch deal as well too. Love the hot surfer chick and the pork pineapple al pastor tacos are my personal favorites from here. The place is always clean, bright, and has a very fun atmosphere. The place is very, very busy during dinner hours between 6 and 8, so expect a wait, but the food is very fast to serve. Servers have always been nice too and attentive. ”
“ Excellent lunch with enough left for dinner! Of course, these were not the lunch portion. Margarita was also good. We ate on the patio so our pup could join us. ”
“ Food was good. Service was very good. No problems or concerns. I can definitely see why you’re branching out! Congratulations on the new stores! Really enjoyed our food! ”
“ Super great experience with incredible food! Saturday night around 5:40, maybe a two minutes wait. Helena our server was above and beyond in service and just a joy. Margaritas was delicious and food was expedited quickly, served piping hot. Meal was wonderful, so excited Saturday night was tamale night. Giant outdoor patio area, wonderful bar area with tvs to enjoy weekend games. Plenty of parking. What I would note when you visit, is this location is centered between two high schools, one k-8 school and local softball, baseball and soccer fields...so it could be very busy after games. Welcome to the area Cantina Louie, very happy your here. I love how muralist created the murals to support the local high schools. Very cool! ”
