The Absolute BEST Mexican Restaurant in Winston-Salem—Don’t Miss This Gem!**
If you’re craving authentic Mexican food that feels like a hug for your taste buds, look no further. My family and I are *obsessed* with this spot—it’s hands-down the best Mexican restaurant in Winston-Salem, and we come here every chance we get. From the vibrant atmosphere to the warm, welcoming staff, every visit feels like a fiesta.
Let’s start with the **food**: holy guacamole, it’s incredible. Every dish is a flavor explosion, made with fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection. The carne asada tacos? Tender, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The enchiladas verdes? Bright, tangy, and topped with the creamiest queso fresco. Even the chips and salsa (a *free* starter!) are next-level—we always end up begging for a second basket. And don’t skip the margaritas—they’re zesty, strong, and totally worth the hype.
What really makes this place special, though, is the **service**. The staff remembers our names, our favorite dishes, and even asks about my kids’ soccer games. It’s rare to find a restaurant that treats you like family, but this spot nails it. Plus, the vibrant décor and lively music make it a fun, family-friendly vibe every time.
If you haven’t tried it yet, **drop everything and go**. Order the queso fundido, try the churros for dessert, and thank me later. Then come back here and comment under this review—I *need* to hear what you loved.

I support and recommend this site because we are truly well served by its own owners who, if they value their clients equally with all their staff and family, we certify it with a 9/10...

The food is good and at a good price, plus good service.
Great Mexican food! This was the best I’ve had outside of California. I had the garlic shrimp plate and I enjoyed every bite.
The chunky guacamole was fresh and delicious.
The staff is super friendly and quick.

Amazing. The amount of food I received for the price was resplendent. I went for the lunch special with a friend for my first time; wowza! I’ve already recommended several friends who have never been. I wish I could go again for the first time. The food was the type of good where you keep taking bites after already being full.

The waitstaff handled our party of 6 with ease. I had the shrimp fajita and it was perfect with plenty of large shrimp and fresh toppings.

The food was okay as well as the service. It was however the smallest portions I have ever seen in a mexican restaurant. My 62 pound daughter left asking for desert. The place is kind of a shabby chic but all in all a good experience.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair was easily accessible to the location.

Once a year, I love to stop here while we’re in town at least the best. Eight days of Mexican food laugh out. Loud prices are great tons of food do it.
