"Reserved for this restaurant for mother's day after reading about their duck entrees. I had the duck burrito and it was amazing. My mother said her meal was pretty good too (I forgot the exact name but it was the chicken quesadilla entree). Pretty nice environment, and we had free dessert on the house for the occasion! I'd definitely go back, especially for that duck!"

"I am only rating service as Fair because when we were first seated it took a while for us to get drinks and order food. However, about half way through we had a waitress who really stepped it up so they must've been between shifts or something. I wouldn't let the first half keep me from going back."

"I went to Canyon Road for Cinco de Mayo with my boyfriends family. The food and drinks were great. Everything was big portions and our server was very nice and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and good times."

"Great traditional Mexican restaurant on the UES. Reasonably priced fare and friendly service an exception now instead of the norm. A gem of the neighborhood. I hope it continues to thrive!"

"This is a very strong Mexican restaurant. I enjoyed my duck quesadilla, even though I was terribly hung over from the night before. I think that says it all. I will say that perhaps a fluke, the service was not great, but that might because they were understaffed that night. Overall, if you're dying for some Mexican food, this place will fit the bill."

"Brought my girlfriend here for Valentine's Day. The decor was nice, fashioned in a Southwestern pueblo-type style. The dim lights and candles on the table set the perfect mood for our romantic dinner. Amazing calamari believe it or not. Enchiladas were cooked to perfection. Great place that doesn't break the bank!"

"This place was very nice, albeit, very small. However, the food arrived in a timely manner and was decent. North amazing, but nowhere near bad. Not fit for medium to large groups being that this place is small, but I would recommend a visit."
