Dismaying and disgraceful dining experience and to Mexican Cuisine for an assortment of reasons:
- Food was overpriced, mediocre quality, funky taste and unprecedented consistency issues across multiple dishes.
- Extra food menu items were insanely priced (additional tacos by themselves - $8 for a mini tortilla sized taco)
- Business operating within a fine line of questionable ethics and parameters in accordance with revised California Law SB-478 regarding automatic gratuity for establishments. They attempted to charge us predetermined tips even when we were separate parties too.
- Bold claims on their menus stating additional corkage/cake cutting fees! This isn’t a fine dining restaurant folks.
- Unbalanced/unlevel tables
- 1 refill per mediocre fountain drinks - glasses were smaller than liquor glasses.
Overall disappointing dining experience and disgrace to Mexican Cuisine - we won’t be back!

This is my most honest opinion on this place. They need to work on their management. The owner allows men going inside the same restroom as the women. For women’s safety that is not good to start. All owner did was removed a person I know from their restaurant because they complained about it to the I guess she claims herself as the owner which was a lady with blondish curly hair. Also when it make to reserving tables management didn’t really know how to be organized to know what table was for who that made me move 3 times which is pretty annoying.

11:30pm good vibe of people, good music
But expensive drinks. Vodka and cranberry juice 🥤 $15 there is no much place to go in Santa Clarita. So I guess is fine.
I will come back and try the food 🍱 and I will give an update. Peace out ✌️

Disappointing brunch!!!!!!
The brunch server was extremely rude and unprofessional, when we were just asking questions about their food menu..which really took away from the experience on top of that. The food options were very limited. Not much to choose from at all .. The food itself was not that bad but the .. But the attitude of the Server kinda just ruined the whole breakfast and not worth the price. We didn’t Even Stay to continue eating . I wouldn’t recommend This place, which is a shame I was excited to Come here celebrate my boyfriend‘s birthday… and I’m definitely not one to ever mention the price but for spending over $200 less than 40 minutes and hardly eating any food just left a bad taste in my mouth…

The quality and pricing of the food, $30 for a small piece of carne, a depressing chile relleno, “enchilada” de queso, beans and rice. Don’t waste your money here, the quality of the food was not great, the beans lacked flavor and tasted like canned beans you buy at the store. The drinks were mediocre at best and not worth the $15 price tag on it. I figured I would come and check this place out because of the heavy advertising WhatsUpSCV does on IG and it was yet another disappointment. The place has potential to be better but it NEEDS to change. To anybody thinking of coming here, you’re better off going to La Cocina or any other chain restaurant out in Santa Clarita. Won’t be coming back here in the future. I’ve had street food that tastes better than this at half the cost.
