Biggest mistake is not being patient! An absolute amazing place for dine in or take out. Awesome cooks and amazing Host such as K***, H***, J*** and B***. Even the bus boys are amazing! This is NOT fast food but amazing food! Dine and enjoy!

Food is excellent and plentiful! From street tacos to shrimp dishes, from burritos to fajitas, the food cannot be beat. Service is quirky, though, as you sit, at the table, scan the menu, they bring you drinks, but you have to go up to the register to place your order, which is then delivered by server to your table. A bit odd, though the servers are really good and keep up with dinner needs. The place is fairly small with limited patio area as well. But have I mentioned the food? Just terrific!

Very delicious food! I got the Agave Lime Shrimp Plate and it was sooo good. The wait time for seating and for food was long but we went on a Friday night at 5pm so it makes sense. This place constantly had a line to the door so you know it’s good! Will come again but earlier and not on a Friday.

Didnt like the way you ordered. And received food. And paying. Either have a sit-down instead of a taco shop. Or vice versa. The food was good. Taquitos were excellent. The street tacos were bland. Tasteless.

We love Cenote, come once a week. Its very small so it gets crowded, come early for whatever meal youre planning to get a comfy booth. We love the queso dip, its so gooey and delicious. We split a fish taco plate, way too big to eat on your own. The shrimp burrito is really good too.

My husband and I decided to try this place after reading the reviews, and a recommendation from a friend. Its a small restaurant with some outdoor seating and a few booths and tables. There are no waiters or waitresses to take your order. When we walked in and approached the front counter we were given menus and instructed to come back to the counter when we were ready to order. They brought us chips and two kinds of salsa. They were both good, but the chips were a bit on the thick side. I ordered the two item combination plate of the pork chili Relleno and the fish taco with Mexican rice and pinto beans. This is the first time for both of us trying this kind of chili Relleno. It is baked instead of fried. It was pretty good, but I guess we just prefer the traditional fried and stuffed with jack cheese type. I didnt care for the rice. It was just too heavy with the spices for me, not in a hot spice way but just too overpowering. The beans were okay, but again we prefer the traditional refried beans. I dont think we will be back. Service was good!

People working there are awesome. Food is the best. Try their Sangria... Ive introduced so many people to this place and all love it.

My family went there for dinner on a Saturday night at 5pm. I was surprised how crowded it already was. There were 8 adults and two babies in our group. They immediately got tables ready for us with chips and salsa waiting.The food was delicious. I got a 2 item plate with a grilled fish taco and broiled chile relleno with steak. Both were delicious. Portions were great.
