This place is awesome.
On our 1st time here we actually have dinner.
FOOD ITS MORE AMERICAN THAN MEXICAN, but it's not too bad. We had an awesome time have dinner, and chilling by the lake.
Service was incredible, our server was in touch with us all the time, and everything we ordered was as we asked for.
Margaritas are awesome.
Our 2nd time we actually dock the boat and had some fun at the bar. We ended ordering some margaritas...

Love this place! The food, atmosphere, and location are amazing! Ask for the spicy salsa and adding roasted jalapeño to your meal is the way to go! The hotchata in the picture is the large for $5 and totally worth it!

October 2025

Always great service and a large menu with all your favorite Mexican dishes to sit and watch the boats go by. The margueritas are the best! Shout out to all the wait staff. You all are the best!?
