Went to an live show , the show was great, the drinks not so much. Expensive water down draft beers. And weak mixed drinks. So if you go I'd pregame big time!

Stopped in yesterday for lunch with a friend. At first it seemed like a quiet day, very few diners. It took longer than normal to get our orders taken and quite a while for our food to come out...HOWEVER...what we discovered was there was a HUGE party that showed up before us in another dining room. There was only 1 waitress and the manager working the floor, and they were absolutely hustling to cover all the tables, and they did a kick ass job. The food was on point. Had the Enchilada Suizas, and their verde sauce is excellent. So regardless of the short staff for the situation, they did the absolutely best possible job at handling everything that came at them, with a slammed kitchen still knocking out great food. 👏 Props to them, we will definitely be back.

Very rude owner

The food is terrible! My rice actually was watered down, I couldn’t believe how wet it was. This place will be closing soon, because the parking lot is always empty and the service and food are terrible. There are so many other Mexican restaurants that are so much better. We will never go back here again.

I visited on Cinco De Mayo and they made me feel like a long lost cousin. I often travel and eat alone in my line of work. And I can't say how grateful I was to feel like I belonged. The atmosphere was amazing. The service was impeccable. And the food was wonderful. I'll be adding El Tenampa to my rotation when I'm back in town.

A good atmosphere, the staff are extremely friendly and one of the waitresses patiently corrected Spanish (I ’m learning and was trying to practice).

Most likely wont be back. We (2 ppl) ordered 2 Cadillac margaritas and food to go. Watched our bartender make the margs, it was tequila, orange juice from the gun, and pre made margarita mix, with a shot of grand marnier on the side. Margarita mix was so sugary and acidic, it made me sick. Sad to see a Mexican restaurant make margaritas I could make better at home without mix. After we got our drinks, the bartender didn't ask how our drinks were once and basically disappeared. Food was mid at best, our bean dip that came with the chips while we were there was ice cold. I didn't eat it, but my husband did and felt awful after. In terms of tex mex, there are a lot of better places, and the margaritas were abysmal.
Lio was a great host, food was good and wasn't too loud to hold a normal conversation.

WOW!!!! Unbelievable food, service, hospitality, atmosphere and quality… stopped here due to weather and was absolutely blown away by the staff. They met every request for food sensitivities and did so with a great smile and enthusiasm. Being from TX, great Mexican food is very hard to find in other places… this is a Diamond in the Rough!! Exceptional flavors abound! I would recommend this to anyone!!
