So, food was good on the game of the four star because you really got to do something over the top to get a five-star out of me. The service however was Top notch. From the time I ordered to the time and hit the table was less than 3 minutes, amazing. Directly show me pulling into the parking lot and you exactly what I was going to order. Price was reasonable for a Mexican restaurant. 3% off if you pay cash. My Coronita margarita was the bomb. Would definitely stop by again if in area.

Amazing combination of flavors. Great food. Compared to other restaurants in the area it sticks out with more robust flavors. Incredible ambience. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and will be back

We came here as a family for late lunch/dinner. We usually go to Fiesta Guadalajara in town but thought we would try this one this time. We started by ordering margaritas which are labeled as regular or jumbo. We just expected regular but our waitress asked “grande” which was confusing and we got huge margaritas that could’ve been shared so that was a convenient misunderstanding that led to an upcharge.
There was lots of rips on the booths which was off putting but could be ignored initially. However after a few moments of receiving our margaritas and some chips n salsa we noticed a cockroach on the wall which again we tried to ignore but it’s pretty gross honestly. We ordered food and it came out in a timely manner, the cockroach ended up coming over by us and my husband had to smash it with his hand and I had to wipe it off with one of our only napkins as we were trying to eat our food. At this point I’m pretty done but it’s too late we have our food and it is what it is. Nobody got sick or anything but I would not come back here. Cost $197 for an appetizer and four entrees and two margaritas.

I stopped here for a quick dinner, & it did not disappoint. I got shredded chicken chimichangas. They were excellent, along with the attentive service.

This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to in the Grand Valley!
The chef is an excellent cook and will listen to your requests . They‘ll make some minor adjustments to your existing menu.
and give you what you want!
The steak and shrimp were absolutely delicious!

Great Food
Always reliably great food and service! Even better that is one of the few late night options in Fruita - great for those the might work late and need somewhere to go to dinner after 9pm.

This place is not only expensive, but terrible! I went for lunch because it’s $13-17, dinner is $18-25!!!! Nachos are $20 on the dinner menu!!! The lunch was blah. I ordered a chile relleno and chimichanga. They didn’t smother it in anything. They both came out dry! What?! I appreciated the salad tomatoes and cheese they put in my chile relleno 😳 On their menu, it said their burritos were smothered in salsa?! Gross. I like a little salsa on a chip, but don’t want my meal smothered in it. No thanks. To be fair, there is not a good Mexican restaurant that I’ve found in this Valley. There are others that I’ve tried, that are worse than this in the Valley. That’s not saying a lot!
Great restaurant! Tons of options. Mole enchiladas were yummy and when they say jumbo margaritas, they are not fooling around.

Maria, our server, was absolutely wonderful! I’m originally from Mexico and have been living in Denver for 35 years, and this is the first time I’ve truly enjoyed every dish. The beans were cooked to perfection — just like back home!

The entire meal (3 item dinner combo) was terribly over-salted. Spent $20 on food barely good enough to eat. Will be calling for a refund.
This place is amazing! The food outstanding. Service very friendly. We were going through town and staying nearby and decided to give it a try. All we can say is WOW! Definitely a place we come to again!
