    Had lunch at SoN and was so impressed! Our server, Brandon, took excellent care of us. All the food was top notch. I had enchiladas divorcia-great contrast in sauces. A friend had the portobello tacos and she said those were the best. The guacamole & salsas were superior. Even the iced tea was special. Must say, I will be back!

    Love the location and staff always very friendly. Service was a little slow…sat with empty plates longer than usual. I’ve had same meal more than once and spice level is not consistent! I will go back!!

    The food was okay, the drinks were good and very affordable. Overall an inexpensive dinner compared to similar restaurants. I had the salmon special and it was good. Nothing jumps out at me as to what would bring me back.

    We had great service and good food! Our only complaint was that our 17$ margarita was so full of ice it was literally only 3 drinks and was gone. That seems like more of a happy hour practice which it was not.

    It was absolutely amazing. The food was outstanding and they are so great with food allergies. I have celiac disease and love that i can eat the fresh chips/salsa and food without having to worry about getting glutened. They are so careful. The food is by far the best mexican food I have ever had. We had the filet tacos and the chicken chipotle enchiladas with rice and beans. Everything was delicious. Our waitress Tuesday was the sweetest and brought us everything we needed without us having to ask for anything. I highly recommend this restaurant and just wish i lived closer.
