It was good until I received bad shrimp in my fajitas. I told the waiter and they took off 5 dollars . Not good enough for eating bad shrimp. I wouldn’t take the chance going there again.
Fodd and service were great. Would go back
Good Americanized Mexican food. Drinks were good and prices were fair. Service was prompt.
It was nice & old style restaurant.
Food was amazing.
We were a big group of 14 with babies but got really cozy corner so Noone else can be disturbed.
Service was quick.
Busy for dinner, but well managed with zero wait on a Saturday night when Texas Roadhouse had a 40 minute wait. Got right in here, and was given a great table. Had the Azteca Dip for an appetizer which is difficult to eat, but absolutely delicious. We followed up with the Carne Asada, and the Al Pastor Street Tacos for entrees. All of it was cooked perfectly, fresh, and flavorful. A beautiful dining experience. Minor deduction for a busser accidentally hitting one of us with the dish cart, and for forgetting to provide silverware. Overall though, can't recommend enough, and can't wait to go back!
My food was well made and my watermelon margarita was delicious.
Finding decent Mexican food in NYS is tough, but I'll give credit where it's due.
Even though the parking lot was fairly full, we got a table really quickly.
The salsa and chips were...okay. I'll acknowledge we are spicy people that went to a mild restaurant.
I ordered a margarita and it was decent and hit the spot.
The entrees were alright.
I kind of wish you could choose between beef and steak instead of steak being very thin strips of lower quality, lean beef.
But the veggies on the side were fresh and after the margarita, we were definitely satisfied.
The servings were generous and we both had leftovers for another meal.
All of the staff we encountered were super nice and the service was very prompt.
We'd come back, but probably just for drinks and a snack.
Mostly typical tex mex fare. Servings were large. The Diablo Shrimp was ridiculously hot. Mixed chicken and steak fajitas the meat was chopped a bit finer than i cared for. Flan for desert was ok.

Friendly Service! Delicious Food, served fast for lunch!
The only thing we didn't like: is the very steep wheelchair access to the building
located at the back of restaurant right next to the garbage dumpsters.

Fiance and I are big foodies. She's dealing with some food restrictions because of health concerns, and they were able to accommodate a lot of her restrictions. Perfectly grilled veggies and well flavored chicken. I got the sliced beef chimichanga which tasted sooo nice! Food seemed authentic. Great place to eat in Ithaca!

The refried beans were extremely salty. The Chimichanga was very good and the rice was excellent.

Good vibe, good service, great prices. Enchilada burrito was horrible, chicken Cascadilla had no cheese. The fried ice cream and the flan were banging, fried ice cream is a must try.
