Although I live close I've never went although it's been on my radar for a while . Went on a Saturday . It was surprisingly empty although I'm told that is usually not the case . We were constantly checked on and taken care of . Menu choices were explained . We were starving and ordered nachos and ceviche and both were very good . We both had steak and shrimp fajitas which were great as well. The menu is extensive there is something for everyone . There are three issues I did have . We ordered a pitcher of Margaritas . I believe it was about 40 bucks . The pitcher was about a third filled with ice and not a crazy large pitcher . We ended up ordering another one . The drink glasses were jelly jar types , how about a traditional Margarita glass ? And the glasses came with ice as well ?? Why ? I mean it wasn't a deal breaker , just not the bargain that we might have hoped . They bring you chips and salsa which they refilled . Both were great . But they brought the salsa in a small ramekin that could not accommodate the size of the chip . I can't figure that one out . Lastly the tortilla brought to assemble the fajita was a bit on the small side . Made it a bit harder to put everything together . So you may ask ... why the 4 stars ? Well ..., food and service were really great . They aim to please . I'll go back for sure . Just might order a bit differently on the cocktail side and perhaps make a suggestion on that Ramekin .

This food is authentic. So delicious. We ordered chimichangas, flautist and nachos. Everything was so great. The service was attentive and my margarita was fleurons without being too salty. I loved to Long Island from queens 3 years ago and have been searching for good Mexican food and I finally found it. Go here and have a great meal! The rice and beans are outstanding too!!!
