“Best Mexican restaurant in FWB imo. Truly authentic! Do not let the outside fool you - the inside is very nice and stylish. Food is amazing and not too salty. Service is great as well. I love their homemade chips - some of the best that I have ever had - light and not greasy. Salsa is just right as well. This restaurant puts all of the others to shame!“

“Yum! Enjoyed my fajitas and margaritas 😋“

“Holy Guacamole — This Place Is Nacho Average Mexican Spot! To get to the main event: the quesadilla. Oh. My. Guac. This wasn’t just the best quesadilla I’ve ever had — it was quite possibly the pinnacle of human culinary achievement. The tortilla was golden, crisped to perfection with just the right amount of buttery char. And inside? A molten lava flow of cheese so rich and gooey it could’ve been declared a national treasure. Add to that the perfectly seasoned meat (I went with the chicken, but I suspect any option would be un-burrito-ble) and a side of their homemade salsa that added just the right kick — I was completely cheesed off… in the best way possible. I was also thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail — the tortillas tasted freshly made, the toppings were thoughtfully layered, and even the slaw had crunch and flavor that made each bite nacho run-of-the-mill. Service? Absolutely en-taco-ging. Friendly, fast, and full of great recommendations! If you’re looking for a place that delivers on authenticity, flavor, and an all-around good time, this restaurant really tortilla new one! In short: • Best quesadilla ever? Check. • Amazing tacos? Check. • Left in a state of blissful food coma? Absolutely. • Would I go back? You bet your guac I would. Do yourself a favor and get your taco-loving self to this place. It’s nacho something you want to miss.“

“we love this place, it's close to our house, they make a delish paloma, food is good but golly gosh darnit ~ please teach the cooks how to fry and egg for the huevos rancheros dish!!! they simply ruin this dish when serving it with an over cooked brown (yes that is how hard they fry it) eggs ~ it ruins the dish; do not serve this dish, huevos rancheros if you cannot make it correctly, thank you“

“I had an incredible experience here. Maria was so kind and informative. I ordered a barbacoa taco and a beef Gordita. Both were delicious. The barbacoa transported me somewhere… I got another to go. The Gordita, it comes with potato. Perhaps if you aren’t used to this it takes a few bites to adjust, but I say take this as the unique and lovely food it is! I have already invited some friends to come with me again. Do give it a try! It tastes real, it tastes like home and love.“

I look forward to trying many things on the menu our next visit.“

“If there were two of these places in town, it would put Taco Bell out of business in a week. Came looking for authentic Mexican food, and found it here.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food. To put things into perspective, I ate Taco Bell yesterday, and didn’t even finish it. I came here the next day and almost ate the box the food came in, fr fr. 🤣“

“First time visiting on halloween and wow how freaking cute! Everyone was dressed up and the atmosphere was just perfect! Loved walking along the side of the boats and seeing all the water activity as well. Took a dolphin cruise from there as well and was the best thing in my life.“

“I'm torn on recommending, honestly. We've eaten here twice with the 1st time being good and the 2nd time (tonight) being terrible! My son couldn't even eat half of his burrito and my chicken quesadilla had entirely too much cheese to the point it was basically just cheese! I removed as much of the cheese as I could. The middle aged lady that made ours this evening spoke way too fast to be able to understand her, lacked personality, and just slapped the dinner together without any care. The 1st time (when it was good), the younger blonde lady was super nice and did a great job at making our dinner that night. My son actually craved the burritos after the 1st night. After tonight...not so much!! They are a bit on the expensive side, as well.“
