Restroom clean, personnel had a laid-back but professional vibe. Good value!

They greeted me warmly when I came in and showed me to a table. I was having a rather late lunch so I just wanted a couple apps: *A cup of tortilla soup-INSANELY GOOD! Loaded with shredded chicken, diced avocado and yummy tortillas all soaking in an amazingly seasoned tomato base! I started munching right away and almost forgot to squirt a lil lime in there. Let me tell you, delish with out, game changer with! Either way, you can't go wrong. *Fried calamari-fresh, crunchy, seasoned to perfection! I love that they also fried some limes and jalapenos with the calamari! Such a treat! If you are ever in the area..DO NOT PASS UP MAMA COCO's! Your taste buds will thank you :

I recently had a birthday dinner of 20 people in the back patio area and not only was the food amazing, the staff was so helpful and accommodating. There are plenty of options for vegetarians (my favorites are the tostada salad and fajita quesadillas but the mole enchiladas are also amazing! and meat eaters alike. The drink options are many and my friends loved the mango and spicy margaritas. The waiters are extremely kind, respectful, and fun! Maraisa especially is the best and got us the best spot in the restaurant. Don't sleep on this place!

The flavors are ON POINT burrito, mole, both mild and hot salsas, the refreshing horchata make you feel like you just jumped into someone's home for a thoughtfully cooked meal. The low key ambience just drives home the point that the food is the centerpiece. We'll be back. A lot.
