A Friday night dinner with a friend. Ample portions, we got to take the leftovers home with us! Great service!

The food was the quality of Taco Bell and the margaritas had so much sugar I don't think there was any alcohol in them. Will not return.

Food was fantastic. The margaritas were really tart. When they were on Beaver they were the best in town.

I really enjoyed the restaurants design. They had really colorful artwork and it was pleasing to the eyes. The food came out very quickly and I got a lot for 15$. Two whole plates worth. I ordered one of the big combinations and it was great.

Best Tomales ever, the enchiladas are also very good. Very low priced. Fast friendly service. Great place all around. The chairs and booths are really cool.

Super yummy food, friend loved her margarita. Our waiter was very patient with the awkward request of a particular not alcohol drinking party member, much appreciated, very sorry.

Best tacos I've ever had. Definitely check this place out

This comfortable local restaurant is a place we eat at a couple of times per month. It always has quick, friendly service and delicious food. It must treat its employees well because the same people have been serving us for years. The prices are reasonable as well.

This was by far the worst Mexican restaurant experience I have ever experienced. First off, the chips and salsa.. tomato juice salsa, and your first "hot dog" basket of chips is free, but want any more and you'll pay $6.25! Unbelievable! The food was the absolute worst, flavorless junk we had ever had. Nothing had flavor. NOTHING! Of course, it was more expensive than any other Mexican restaurant in the area. The margaritas had no alcohol in them as well. The only thing we liked about the place were the cool booths and chairs, but that certainly won't bring us back. I almost wish I could take anyone leaving a positive review to small claims court for fraud! Horrible!

Best Mexican in town and friendly service! Heads up, the website forgets to reflect that they’re closed on Tuesdays. They’re open every other day of the week though.
