What a great Mexican restaurant there 1/2 price nachos 2 to 5... Monday to Friday, great deal and there home made Chips . I had their shrimp tacos they were the best I've ever had . They made fresh Margareta real juice . We loved the decor. Their outdoor patio looks like it will be lots of fun in the summerCan't wait to go back . It's worth the trip to St. Catherine's .

I love the food here.. it's the most authentic Mexican food I've ever had. Every time we are in Niagara Falls frok Toronto, I always make sure to make a stop here. The portions are great only if you dine in, it seems. I asked my niece to grab me takeout as she was in the area, and I got half the portion size I'd get on their plate. I was super disappointed. For the amount they charge, you'd think they'd give you the same in-house portion size for the rice and beans, which is the best part. I hope they either get a bigger container to fit the same size as they serve for dine in or reduce the cost for takeout. I got a quarter of the rice and beans I get when I dine in.. so needless to say, I was pretty disappointed.

Ate here with my husband. I had the pineapple margarita and the Carne asada tacos. Husband had the pastor tacos.The margarita was weak with not enough alcohol. The steak tacos were blan, came with Pico de Gallo and beans and rice on side. These were bland.Chips and Salsa for the table: chips were stale, salsa was the best part of the meal.Pastor tacos were seasoned well but again beans and rice were just Meh.Overall, over priced for what you get, and feels like a meal that could be made at home. We've had other Mexican places that were better.The place was very clean though which I appreciated.Parking: Very small parking lot, maybe 15 spots. No street parking.

This restaurant's food is fantastic one of the best I've had outside of Mexico, it's not fancy but its very much a family oriented and very clean restaurantThey can accommodate anyone with food allergies, both the actual food, and desserts which are very hard to find in restaurantsThe atmosphere is so comfortable and the service is out of this world friendlyI gave it a 5 stars only because that was the highest # available, personally I rate them a 10 starsDietary restrictions: I have a dairy allergy and not only could they happily accommodate my allergy but they also have three desserts that where completely dairy free, on the menu, it was so awesome to be able to have dessert at a restaurant

Such a great spot! Service was fast and friendly, food was delicious, and potion sizes were huge and so filling. Well worth it!Vegetarian options: I got the veggie fajitas with vegan chorizo. But there were many other options as well.

The start of our visit was great, as the margaritas we received were delicious. However, the food I would say is not as good. We had pork tacos and beef tacos which were okay, frankly, the cauliflower tacos were probably the best ones. The service is very fast and friendly and the prices are reasonable, especially since the serving sizes are pretty big. Probably a good place to come in a group to have drinks and nachos or other starters, however the place is not very big.

That was an awesome meal. Everything we ate tonight for dinner here was excellent, and I really mean that. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed every item. We had guacamole, two types of tacos, chimichanga, burrito, churros, tres leches cake, a few cocktails and every item was really delicious. Highly recommend

The food was great. Very good service and atmosphere for an amazing experience. The cost was very reasonable for the experience.
Visiting St. Catharines, we checked google for authentic Mexican restaurants. We were happily impressed by our choice. On a Monday evening it was nicely busy with customers chatting and laughing. Seated immediately and our tasty margaritas arrived before we finished reading the extensive menu. The complimentary salsa and chips, are certainly fresh. The chimichangas were actually done with a beautiful, almost fluffy, exterior. We needed two take-away boxes for the surplus! I'd guess that you can never go wrong by choosing this restaurant. Lots of people stopping in for their pre-ordered family takeout, so that certainly attests to the quality of the food. Well-staffed for a Monday, and service was 5 star too.

I would come here again but not in patio-mostly ignored Not the same service from what i saw inside. All fun inside. Especially if you like to drink and Music ? . Increased review from 1 to a 2 based on first Lady that seated us and did automatic no.Stuck in patio.. pretty much ignored* Food is good. Server keeps the door open from entrance makes colder. Attempt to ask to switch available. Automatic no , let me see what I can do. She is nicer than waitress. Just saying we will try our best to do instead automatic no. Sad can't take photos now. Just in cold waiting for hot food to become cold. Would be nice to get hot water .. if stuck in cold... common genuine customer service.Waitress comes in at door to ask but not come directly. Closes the door, FINALLY. Guy comes to get chairs: leaves door all the way open. NO MUSIC Outside. Until we finished and next people will be outside to eat. They finally put music. Lady that help ensures door is probably closed, brings take out boxes too. Which is greatly appreciated. Feel bit of good service. Group came inside got a table to go inside. Music on for them to be prepared in ambiance going into. Love denial but can't assume as they probably can't have them stand inside for their table. Love the food but everything else not worth it if stuck outside. Friend goes in washroom turns off too. All from sensor. Hilarious situation but not ideal.

Food was bland and expensive for what you got. Friendly service. Suggested tip started at 18% unduly pressuring patrons for higher tips. Colourful atmosphere with appropriate music. Much better restaurants for the price.

I used to love coming to this place but that has changed after my experience tonight. We were treated like a number and rushed out within a little over half an hour. I had a lovely meal but the service was appaling. As soon as we finished eating we were given our bills and asked if we wanted to pay cash or debit. Not once were we asked if we actually wanted our bill. Since we weren't finished our drinks we suggested the waitress could come back a bit later and she stormed off immediately. Not even 5 minutes later the manager (I assume) came and aggressively asked if we were paying cash or debit. We felt like we had no choice but to pay and leave. We get that it's a busy restaurant but this is no way to run your business. If you had told us before hand that there was a time limit then we would have understood but you have no business rushing people out who paid good money to finish their food and drinks. That's disgusting behaviour. Will not be back.
