1st time trying this place and we were very pleasantly surprised! They obviously spent a lot of time and money bringing this old A&W back to life and giving it new life with quality Mexican fare. You can usually get a feeling of a place by their chips and salsa, both VERY good, so much so, we had to get a small side of guacamole which also checked the box, it was fresh homemade and delicious. I got the taco plate with steak taco truck style, no radish and the meat had amazing seasoning, you could taste a touch of char from being grilled YUM. I can not handle to much spice/heat but this was on the top end of what my stomach can handle with flavor so it should be a good heat level for almost anyone. The queso fresco was actually chihuahua cheese, just as good! The rice I believe was Puerto Rican style (had peas and green beans in it) very good flavor, the refried beans had good consistency, slightly different flavor, but not bad. I had the mango lemonade, I finished it but i wasn't a fan of it. It was my first time having that type of drink so it could have just "not been my thing" I will be back to try others! My other half had the enchilada plate and he was equally impressed (although next time he wants a plate of tacos like mine! Lol) and he was eyeballing other players coming out that he had added to his must try list! He believes this is the best place for Mexican that isn't near national Ave (his 2 favorite places are down there). The wait staff was pleasant and service was well timed and quick. Entering is a narrow walkway/hall but still should accommodate a wheel chair, walker, or stroller. The place inside is not terribly large, maybe 4 tables that seat 4 and about 6-8 that seat 2 with a bar that looks to seat about a dozen or so. There is however outdoor seating and what looks like a serving area that opens up to it. We will definitely be back to try more dishes and the outdoor area!

Been here a few times. Always good service and a great patio. They have a nice happy hour. I got the moly enchiladas and they were good plus a couple of tacos on happy hour. Need to come out for margaritas more often.
