Friendly staff. Best guacamole!
Margaritas are not fresh like they used to be. All made with mixes just like every other place anymore. Was looking forward to a fresh real margarita like they used to make but was sadly very disappointed. It said on their menu they offer fresh cucumber margaritas, what I got was a lime margarita mix with one slice of cucumber in it. I don't even like lime margaritas. Will not be making a return visit.
Hands down the best birria tacos I’ve ever had. First time coming but I will be back to try more food. Great customer service as well.
Such a wonderful restaurant right on the lake. Very fast service, yummy food. Definitely recommend the triple dipper (queso, guacamole, and salsa) with your chips. Will definitely go again!!!!
The food was awful!!! The food was WAY over price. Very disappointed, just a waste of time. Two margs with no alcohol, and a toco dinner (meat was chewy and rice was too spicy and chewy), $40! Not worth it.
Literally the worst restaurant, please save your time. Margs had NO alcohol (for $11), rice was way too spicey to even eat. Not worth it!!!
Two margaritas and a taco dinner, $40!!
But the views and atmosphere were great on a positive note.
Not authentic Mexican food, no flavor. $80 in the garbage.
Delicious tacos with a view of the lake. Our waiter was fun and attentive. Love coming here on hot summer days.
Food is a bit pricey, but decent. We love the margaritas. I wish they offered simple tacos or small dishes, everything is a full entree with rice and beans which I never want anyway. Don’t appreciate being asked “would you like chips and salsa?” like it’s complimentary… it’s not, so beware. After getting our food served, we asked our waitress for silverware and a plate. She then proceeded to sing a karaoke song while we waited! Waitresses should NEVER be singing while trying to serve the customers.

Worst Mexican food ever. We went in a group of 6, not one person ate their food. Rice was over cooked and mushy, meat tasteless. Salsa was awful, guac no flavor. Marghuerita was flat. Service was good, gorgeous location but they need new cooks!!!!! Seriously… invest in a cook, you got a nice place.

This is a seasonal place. That said, when El Lago season is open, it's time for fun. Park the boat, and grab a cerveza.

We’ve gotten drinks before but haven’t had the chance to pop in and get food so today we went in got the nachos that were huge and delicious got frozen drinks and each an order of tacos. Drinks are always great and the tacos were very good! I loved the rice I would almost go back just for the rice but I loved the setting I felt horrible for Vanessa she was the only one working but she did great! Can’t wait to go back!

Way to expensive
There were 8 of us boating and stopped by for lunch. The food was great and the staff was extremely warm.
Parking: If you're boating, there's a dock you can use for free. I don't see what I purchased, but I had tacos and fish bites. They were very good.
