Stopped here on a road trip to Florida from Minnesota. Very tasty Mexican dishes. Three different entrees - all savory and plentiful. Carnitas are outstanding.

Loved going here with my love!! Nice authentic experience and the food was good and came out hot.

Great Midwest Mexican dining spot. Extensive menu, wonderful service, and I actually felt the one jumbo margarita I ordered, and after being a functional alcoholic for 10 years that's saying something.Parking: The parking lot is gravel, so after a heavy rain it does get quite muddy/messy

I've been here a few times because of their shrimp soup; however, today was the worst ever in addition to the service. The soup was so salty that I couldn't even eat it without drinking a gallon of water. I told the waitress and she told the manager. I told them they need to taste the broth and not to serve it to anyone else. I didn't want anything else. My party was done and waiting for our check. It took them over 40 minutes for the check so we went up to the waitress asking. The waitress and manager said they still had to charge me half for the soup even though I only had 3 tablespoons of the soup. I we will not be returning to this restaurant. The right thing to do was to not charge me for the soup!!!!! I really didn't even want to give them a star but I didn't have an option.

Went there for lunch the waiter brought me my drinks and walked away. After 5 minutes I asked for a menu because he didn't provide me one. I waited another 10 minutes and he never came back to take my order. They were not busy he walked by a few times and I was waiting to see if he noticed , obviously he didn't. I will never eat there again although all I really had was the chips and salsa. I prefer to support the small local restaurants like this instead of the chains but I will not spend my money or return if I have bad service. They've permanently lost my business.
