The Waiter was very courteous.

However, the food was not that great. My cousin, who was with me could not east her dinner because of a pungent odor either on the fish or the sauce. The waiter realized she couldn't eat it, and he did not charge her for it. My dinner was ok, except the guac had a dark spot in it and was not fresh. About 3 hours later, I had food poisoning. I spent 2 days holed up in a hotel room because I was so sick. Would not recommend this restaurant.

Music on speakers was way too loud. However, when we asked our waiter, they did turn it down.

My husband, son and I were on a road trip and needed to stop somewhere for lunch. We love Mexican food so we thought this would be a good choice. The food was unbelievably good. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was not at all what I expected. It was full of chicken, onions, bell peppers, and the tortilla was absolutely perfect. It was served with lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. Best quesadilla I've ever had. My husband and son felt the same about their meals. - they were outstanding. We will definitely plan a return visit.

We had the house frozen margaritas & they were delicious! Not too sour. Chips, salsa & queso were pretty good. We didn’t order from the menu. It was mid afternoon & we just sat in the bar for a few drinks.

Waiter was slow and he only had one other table. Ordered to beef fajitas and it the steak was tough and chewy. Bland in flavor, rice under cooked, and beans not worth a second taste. Don’t recommend this restaurant, worst Tex-Mex restaurant I’ve ever visited.
