Fast courteous service, and very attentive staff. Shrimp Fajitas for two was plentiful and delicious! Prices were very reasonable. Great family atmosphere!
We will definitely return.

Just your normal authentic Mexican restaurant. Warm chips, salsa bar, quick food, great service. Their queso with chorizo in it was good. Fajitas is like a double serving, great value for the money. Only complaint is the meat is a little heavily seasoned.

It's one of very few restaurants in a very busy tourist area during the summer. Are they perfect? No. If you can't handle that then don't come here. They are hard working people and because it's a seasonal tourist area, they fight to get staff and keep staff during the up and down times of the year. My wife and I love this place and they take care of us every time we go there.

We liked the food but service is bad. They gave us the bill adding 23% tax!!. When asked about this with waiter, she said go and check with Cashier. Cashier said the TIP is included in that !!! Little surprised when we paid, they are again asked for tip in the receipt!!

I will never ever go here again when we got here the waitress acted like she hated her job I blew it off as to ok maybe she has had a bad day then she brings our food and hurried away ok again maybe she’s busy we go to pay and it was a ridiculous amount so I go to question it different lady at the register same attitude my boyfriend ordered the monster burrito on the menu it’s 8.95 I ordered two tacos that were 3.75 a piece and he got a sweet tea I got water that’s it she proceeded to tell us oh well we charged you for the rice and beans which she stated came with the meal which when we explained to her we were never asked they just brought it and on top of that for the two of us we were charged a 15 percent tip automatically after we had left a tip on the table of 10 dollars in my mind they up charge you to steal your money and add things to your order to make more money when I asked to speak to the lady who took my order I got well she’s on break when I asked to speak to the manager oh his on break to very suspicious so I walked back to my table and picked up my tip this is the last and only time I will ever eat here again

When we got there we got chips and drinks and then didn't see the server for 20 min. They then took our order, we asked for more chips and dip then we never saw them again. They didn't refill our drinks. We asked someone else to get dip for the chips and they never came. Every table that came in after us got their food first. I just paid for my drinks and chips and left

No bueno. I got the steak torta. Bread was stale, the meat was a single slice of paper thin meat. Asked for condiments, they forgot during my meal, then remembered at the end. Place is run down seasonal tourist trap. Get your act together! You are the only game in town!!!!!

Over priced and food just wasn’t good. Margaritas were too sweet. The only thing that I enjoyed was the chips, salsa bar and bean dip. Maybe I got them on a bad day. Also the bill was $60 for two people, just think that’s a bit high for the quality of food we received.

Waitress argued with me when I explained my drink order was way to sweet! She said "no refund because that's how we make them" I wasn't even going to ask for one anyway I just wanted a properly made drink! I've NEVER had one that awful anywhere else! The water I ended up drinking was the best thing my whole experience.

I dined in on my birthday 5/15 and had a great dinner! Everything tasted awesome and the portions weren't skimpy either. Their salsa bar is pretty nice too. I never had pineapple salsa before.?
