“This may be the easiest review ever! This place is my new favorite. I had my birthday dinner here in March and it was probably the best experience I have had with a restaurant and a large party. Everything was perfect, the staff the food the service the ease of everything. I requested the "Party Room" as they call it at the Clearwater location. They let me decorate to my liking and never once were we in need of anything (our party had 20 people) all at the same time their regular restaurant was full on a Saturday night. They offer 2 for 1 drinks during the week 2-6 and let me tell you if you drink sangria the red is delicious, and strong. This place is just so fun, we have a blast no matter if we are here for drinks, dinner or a large party. The staff is attentive, and fun. 5+++ stars, more if I could give it.“

“My favorite quick Mexican restaurant. The soups are delicious, I get them a few times a month. Potato poblano is my favorite. Soup and a side of guac gets me a delicious lunch for less than $10. The happy hour is a great deal too and the family loves it when I grab it on the way home.“

“Yesterday I stopped in after doing a major clean, I was hesitant because my experience a few weeks prior while down working in the area, wasn’t the best. But 2nd chances are a must because the food was incredible the first time. Yesterday I decided to sit at the bar because this was a solo trip. After a long day, a margarita was just what I needed. The bartender, I believe her name was brandy, is the reason I will always come back when doing work in the area. My margarita was amazing, she took the time to chat with me and told me some good choices to order off the menu that I hadn’t tried the first time I dined in. She was a natural. Thank you Mrs Brandy! 10/10“

“Wow! Really good flavorful authentic Mexican food right around the corner from me! I will be a regular from now on. Very attentive friendly service! Great great great food! Everything was good especially that rice!!!“

“Angel was our waiter, he was great, our good was very good“

“I was on the hunt for a server who wouldn't make me want to pull my hair out and Emma was a total rockstar! She bent over backwards to make sure I had options that fit my super restricted diet. The food arrived faster than you can say 'awesome', tasted incredible and was pure perfection!“

“Ok I am giving this 5 stars, but I will be 100% honest. I really would give it 4.5 stars. I ordered 4 carnitas tacos with a side of salsa verde. Here's the breakdown:

Customer Service - 9/10, They took care of me and got me in and out quickly. The ordering process was easy.

Selection - 7/10, Not a whole lot of choice, but some people like that. No burritos. That was a bit disappointing, but whatever.

Food quality - 9/10, the carnitas was excellent. Hands down great quality food. The only thing I personally would have done is fry the tortilla just a little more, but different strokes for different folks.

Restaurant Presentation - 6/10, I'm not judging here. I can tell this place is trying to make it in a tough market so I'm always willing to cut slack. However, if it were my place, I would consider cleaning everything to be a top priority. I won't go into detail, because I think it's disrespectful, but there were some things that needed cleaning that anybody could have dealt with. Not dealing with it makes the place look unsafe. I even was thinking about walking away before I purchased my food. Mexican restaurants in Mexico, in my experience, are clean and the folks take pride in a clean restaurant.

Overall - 9/10. I cut a lot of slack on the presentation because you never know people's situation. That being said, despite the excellent food quality, I probably will skip out on going back until the appearance is 100% on point. When people care about the cleanliness, it says they care about me. If anything changes in the hour after I eat this I will update the review.“

“This spot is amazing! Wonderful friendly service. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great. The steak tacos reminded me of my favorite taqueria as a kid. The quesabirria tacos definitely hit the mark, as well. Most places around here make a bland salsa verde, but theirs was bright and flavorful with a nice spice. Not a single complaint. We will definitely be back.“

“todo es delicioso 😋 y los precios al alcance del bolsillo 😃👏“

“Great food and prices are relevant!! Great place to get a quick bite or dinner. Loved the service, Waitresses were lovely and I liked the varieties there is in the menu, definitely recommended!!“

“Loved the food, decor, and friendly service. Will return often, I'm sure!“
