just driving through town checking out Christmas lights had no intention of getting dinner out... Saw this was open and hadn't tried it yet. now I'm from California and the West Coast and I have done nothing but complain about the lack of Mexican and good Chinese options out here in the good old Midwest. The Birria tacos did not disappoint!! I've been in Missouri for 7 years now and these are the best darn tacos I've had in this state!! And our server was the absolute sweetest server!!!

All I can say is whatever you do do not order any kind of nachos to go because they don't leave your chips separate from the topping to where it just becomes one mushy, inedible, and cold entree. Not to mention the waste of money. Also I guess any of their appetizers or at least the helping a poppers don't come with any kind of dipping sauce whatsoever. They were also cold ordering takeout. Spent $45 and got a Pepsi out of it. I do not recommend their takeout I'm not sure about eating in the restaurant but take out is a definite.. NO!!!

Food is so bland! My boyfriend and I said it would be worth going to Jefferson City for Mexican. Also the salsa taste like pizza sauce so 🤢

Pretty busy on a Tuesday night, but the food is worth it. Grew up in Southern Arizona, and it reminded me of having dinner at my Chicano friend's house. The tortillas were obviously homemade and you can tell the people in the kitchen actually care about the food.

Keep up the good work!

We waited 50 minutes for someone to take our order. At that point we got up and left because we had two small children with us.

I had the pleasure of being served by Haley, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was warm, attentive, and made sure everything about our meal was perfect. She checked in just the right amount, had great menu suggestions, and was genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. You can tell she really cares about her guests. Thank you, Haley, for making our visit so enjoyable—we’ll definitely be back!

I was passing through California on a Sunday from The Pickle in Jamestown and was going to the buffet at Burger Haus, but it was graduation day and they weren't open. I had rode my motorcycle by Mexicali on the way into town and smelled some beef cooking. 👀

When I couldn't get the buffet I went back to see how busy they were, then went in to try this place. We went out to the deck to be seated under an umbrella, which was nice, and ordered drinks and got chips. The water didn't taste good, and my Pepsi didn't taste right. I told him about it and he said they just changed the syrup, so he would get me a new one. That one was fine. We ordered a burrito and boneless winds with waffle fries. The burrito was so full of rice with very little else in it, and no condiments it said it had with it. The mango habenero wings were pretty good, very crispy. The waffle fries were the star of the meal. Very crisp, hot and tasty! All in all I'd probably stop for some bar food like wings and such, but probably wouldn't order anything from the Mexican menu. Maybe it was just an off day, but it really didn't tickle my fancy as much as I had hoped. Maybe try it yourself and let us know!
