Walked in and was seated right away. Food came out quickly and was very flavorful.

Absolute Wonderful Experience ⭐ Ordered the Alambre (highly recommend) Food was delicious and large portion that I had leftovers for later. Had to change one of our orders after calling in while it was still being made and was not an issue at all. Very Friendly and hospitable.

I prefer this one over the original one. Seems a lot cleaner to me. While it is smaller inside the original one on Mall Rd needs a good cleaning. Their menus are always dirty for some reason.

We were. Looking for a quick place to get a bite in the area. The gas station attendant suggested this. Should have know. When the directions we got from him were completely wrong. The people were nice and attentive but the food was blan, thrown on a plate and dried out. Too large of a menu, and like I said everything was dry and bland. Worse than leftovers . Days old packaged unwell. That might describe it

My husband took me here for Mother’s Day . The food was very good 😊
We loved it !!! ❤

I am so impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. I used to go to the location on Connector DR and this place is so much better! I will never go back to the other place. The food is fresh and hot, the employees seem happy, and the outdoor space is appealing. Thank you to all of the employees. I’ve found my new spot!

A great place to get authentic Mexican flavors. The service is always quick, and the fresh salsa is on point. Absolutely love the extra-large outside seating area!

I had a really frustrating experience at this restaurant and won’t be coming back. I ordered what I thought was a large mango-banana margarita, and the server only asked me for the flavor—never clarified anything else. What I was brought was a 60 oz margarita, which is excessive and definitely not what most people would reasonably expect when ordering a “large,” especially when there are multiple size options both smaller and larger than that.

To make matters worse, I wasn’t informed ahead of time about the size or the price difference. When I brought it up, the server laughed and joked about how big it was instead of taking my concern seriously, which felt dismissive and unprofessional. I was told I still had to pay for it because it was considered a “custom flavor.” That made no sense, considering the flavor I chose was literally listed on the menu.

It felt misleading and like a setup to overcharge. A simple clarification from the server could have completely avoided this situation. Poor communication and lack of transparency ruined what could have been a good experience.

It has taken me 3 years to find Mexican food that tastes like California and bam! Here it is. Literally so close to home I couldn’t believe it. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is superb and the atmo was very welcoming and fun. Thank you for making our experience as phenomenal as I had hoped.

Great little Mexican restaurant. We had 12 oysters, chips and salsa with queso and a chicken fajita quesadilla. Don't forget the margarita 😉
The oysters we ok, a little on the small side and unfortunately 2 were bad, but that happens.
The chips were freshly made, nice and crunchy and perfect for dipping.
The salsa and queso were excellent. 👍
The chicken and steak fajita quesadilla was huge!!! It was stuffed with tender meat, well cooked peppers and onions with loads of cheese. 😋
Be careful ordering a margarita 😉. They come in large and small. I was thinking a large regular glass, so that's what I ordered. I was so very wrong 😂. It was huge!!! With fresh garnish and a cute little duck 😍. Yes, it was definitely tasty and well made.
The staff is super friendly and make your food how you want it.
The price was more than I had expected for a local Mexican restaurant.
One thing that was a little annoying.... The volume of the TV's. They are very loud and make having a conversation a bit difficult.
Overall it was a good experience, I would recommend them.
