I absolutely hated it. There was roaches on the wall and behind the paintings. They had a rating of 90 and now I see why. The salsa tasted like pizza sauce the food was way under seasoned and our waitress looked like she didn't want to be there. There are way better Mexican restaurants in Kinston NC. I wouldn't recommend this one. The place has gone downhill over the years. Will not be coming back.

If u wanna eat with bugs aka roaches. This is the place for you was trying to enjoy a nice dinner with my family and all of a sudden I roach was the same crawling on the wall right at our table. The server had an attitude the whole time and when I ordered my food, it was corn tortillas but it didnt say what it was and didn’t give an option for flour tortillas and lack of seasoning on food i will never go back

Very disappointed ? not authentic Mexican food, just go to Taco Bell, get more bang for your buck and better taste. Food was not tasteful at all the rice had absolutely no flavor.
Love this place! Good food, good size portions and friendly staff! Give it a shot . Worth it!!

After trying for 30 minute call in my order for 10 people. I finally drove there to place the order in person. While I was placing the order I watched two roaches crawl along the back wall at the counter. Needless to say I will not be going back.
Ate at this place on April 20,2023 and just as we finished eating and to what our eyes did appear…a roach! We told the waitress and she acted like it was not strange to her. She understood English but she didn’t even try to kill the roach. Will never eat there again. Just got time to post this but I wanted people to know they have bad roaches.

Seemed like a very nice place. The salsa was good. We got our food and was eating when all of a sudden a bug started crawling on the table. Definitely a disappointment.
