Wife and I checking out Mexican restaurants, I chose this place as most traditional Mexican. The cerviche was spot on, plus the burrito with Verde sauce. Wide had steak taco salad and could not finish nice crospy shell,,241 margaritas a big plus. Service was good and we enjoyed not spending a fortune for a meal, very reasonable. It's about 4 miles but quick drive from Indian shores

Terrible service, very bad, they add the 18% tip and force you to pay the tip ?? my recommendation is not to go, they will chase you with a knife

Vegetarian options: they are disaffected

Just left, what a horrible experience. The owner is very dry and not courteous. The salsa is definitely canned tomatoes, the refried beans tasted old, as if it was scraped off the bottom - which was possibly the only thing cooked in a pan. The queso that was on top of my burrito was microwaved at 5000 degrees and the chicken tasted as if it came from a can and they microwaved it. We did not make any fuss, but we were given the bill before we even finished eating. When I looked at the bill I couldn’t believe they charge $5 for a tiny coke bottle and have the audacity to charge $2 for a cup of tap water. Never again.

Authentic Mexican. We didn’t go in before bc of its reviews but I’m glad we went. The food was fresh and delicious. The owner is very nice. It’s now one of our go to spots

I haven’t had a bad meal. Come here for dinner after work. 2 for 1 beers is best deal around.

What was meaning to be a family dinner of 13 turned into a complete nightmare and disaster. Do-yourself a favor and steer clear from this restaurant. We should have ran when they were not able to give us 13 complete menus and we had to share with what little we got. We ordered drinks and waited for some time to get very small baskets of stale chips with what appeared to be just tomatoes,as that was not salsa, it tasted like tomatoes. The queso had been microwaved. It was like gravy and disgusting they charge $10 for a little glass bottle of Coke. We ordered alcoholic beverages, but the majority of the party had just ordered Waters. We were there for a half hour before they finally asked us if we wanted something to eat. At this point we decided due to the chips, salsa, queso and the poor quality of the alcoholic beverages that it would be best if we just scrapped our losses and left. That is where things took an ugly turn. Although we did not eat any queso except for several bites, we did not eat really any chips because they were stale, and barely drank any of the alcoholic beverages as they did not taste right we were still going to be gracious enough to leave them something when he brought us our bill it was $76.99 they tried to charge us $20 for tax and to force a tip on us. Remind you we had not ordered anything I had got just chips salsa queso that consisted of three little tiny baskets of steel chips . The two cokes were in a bottle, the two dos Equis were in a bottle, the several Margaritas were barely touched. We proceeded to tell them we would leave them around $30 as we felt that that was fair compensation. He turned extremely hostile screaming and yelling at the women of our party. He demanded that we paid him we ended up leaving around $50 cash as we felt like that was fair compensation as stated nothing was barely drank or ate and we had not ordered any food. We had expressed our dissatisfaction in a nice calm manner and told him that we were going elsewhere to eat and they still were hostile. Absolute terrible experience do yourself a favor and please steer clear from this trash.

Quality REAL Mexican food. Street tacos and a great little market with everything you could want from Tamarind candy to Mexican Cokes. They also have really good traditional Horchata! Such good food Everytime I go in and the people who work there are always very nice to everyone. I find many times in this area when you walk into a lot of Mexican market/restaurants the people who work there don't generally treat the Caucasian customers as well as the Mexican ones. I get it i do but it makes a lot of people feel uncomfortable many times you need to become a regular before you're noticed. This place treated me with a big smile and very helpful from the very first time I went in. Amazing food and people

I live in seminole drove by this place for nearly 15 years..finally stopped don't read all these bad reviews food was great Salsa could use some help. No doubt but everybody has their ways. I've never walked out of there once with bad food. In fact, this is probably one of the cheapest places. My wife and I eat at .. If you don't want authentic go to taco bell
