Recently moved to JC and my friend recommended this place at my first visit the food was amazing and Michelle special was my favorite and I as soon as I started increasing my visits the plate is start getting smaller. Hopefully the manager see this and fix that.

We just moved to JC and this was one of the first places we’ve tried. We liked it so much we have been back almost twice a week for the last month. Things started off really great but it feels like the more they see us the worse the food gets… I was very disappointed tonight in my Michelle Special. The server did offer to fix it but ended up just bringing out a plate of meat… no peppers or cheese sauce on it. I’ve added pics of the Michelle Special when we first started eating here vs the one we got tonight.

very bland food & the online ordering is nuts; first & last time I'll order from there.

Wanted to give this restaurant another chance since they’ve started serving alcohol. Wasn’t happy the first time but kept an open mind. Now I’m making it official. Our service was lousy. My husband ordered queso with our chips but never received it after reminding the waitress several times. We were ignored after putting in our meal requests for so long I had to call on another server to help us. Still no queso. My citrus ginger margarita lacked alcohol, all I could taste was the ginger beer. We nearly walked out but just before we got up our food was served, well 2 of the 3 meals…still no queso. The food was so bland, no flavor at all. The sauce served with the chips was watery and boring. If you enjoy hospital food, this is the place for you. As for me and my family, we’ll stick to the authentic Mexican restaurants that don’t skimp on the alcohol, flavors or queso

Best menu, flavor, service in any Mexican restaraunt I have been too. Not your normal menu, very delicious and different menu. You are missing out if you haven't tried it. Alcohol menu coming in a couple weeks. My favorite restaraunt in Jefferson City!!

Atmosphere/building was very nice food was disgusting service was horrible forgot my kids food told them our food was bad no ffer to remake and still charged $73.00 for food we didn't eat and $73.00 was for 2 kids 2 adults nothing special oh and they're a cantina that doesn't serve alcohol this was a joke a very expensive tasteless joke and now I have to go to El Espolon to actually eat good Mexican food because I'm still hungry because I couldn't and wouldn't eat the disgusting mess they try to pass off as mexican cuisine.

Yesterday (9/19) i had my daughter place an order on their website for dinner. It processed my payment and when i went to pick up my food 20 minutes later found out the place was closed. $40 later and no food for dinner. Of course since they are closed no one is answering the phone so i can speak to about this. If they reopen will not be going back.

I ordered the nachos fajitas chicken and steak, substitute fries for the chips, and cheese sauce on the side. Got back to my hotel room, fries were not cooked a lot of liquid and everything was soggy. I called several times and no one answered. I spent over $20 and this was one of the worst food take out experience by far.

I don't know how this place is still open with all of the other great Mexican options in town.They don't serve alcohol. You can't get a margarita or sangria. Theit dining room is one big room, high ceiling, cafeteria style, that's loud and echoy. The place can be empty and they will sit you right next to the only other table of people. It's awkward, not cozy.Many of the menu prices are more expensive than other places in town.I've been here a couple times and there has been nothing that impresses me.
