Oscar Argueta when they opened I came here with a friend who had invited me, I ordered la carne a la tampiaueña, the steak was delicious and at the perfect temperature, the margaritas and cocktails are so delicious and worth it! I am now a server here, come visit us and enjoy our noches latinas every Saturday nughts after 10 pm as well as our drags shows!!! 🤩🥰🤪

My friend and I come here a lot, we love it. I enjoy the barbacoa enchiladas along with a blueberry Mojito. The atmosphere is very nice and clean.

Most places give free chips and salsa and this place charges. Not the end of the world but the salsa was terrible, honestly I think it was jar salsa. We went on a Saturday around lunch and we were the only people in the entire restaurant. We got fajitas and they were decent but I doubt we will go back. Note: We went to the one in spring city and the food and service was much better.

I would describe this place as Mediterranean Mexico. The vibe definitely wasn’t Mexican. There was what I would describe as Mexican club music playing in the background. We were asked if we wanted chips and salsa. We said yes and asked for table side guacamole. The didn’t offer that only prepared guac, which was delicious. The salsa was weird. It reminded me of marinara - maybe cooked or out of a jar. It was ok but not what I expected. Also they charge for the chips and salsa which are normally complimentary in my experience. We both ordered spicy margaritas. One arrived mulled with pieces of jalapeno evident at the bottom of the glass the other one had a piece of jalapeno floating in the glass. The shrimp tacos we both ordered were good. Service was ok, the place was clean as was the restroom.

Had dinner here last night and even though the owner (assuming) was the only person serving the entire restaurant the service was excellent. Boy does he work hard! The food was excellent. We had Al Pastor Fajitas and the enchiladas and both were amazing - super flavorful and well portioned. I tend to judge a Mexican restaurant by their beans and I have to say they have the best beans I've had in Pottstown - and the rice was pretty good too! We stopped in on a whim and didn't regret it one bit! Check it out - totally worth it.

The food was great. The service, not so much.
You expect to get silverware and a napkin when you get your meal.
Especially if you get a Burrito.
We were not the only table that was served food and had to ask for silverware.
We had leftovers and had to ask for a bag to carry them. BTW, It was car show night so we walked around after dinner.
We will give this location another try.
I really had great expectations for the Pottstown location after dining at the Spring City location. Everything about the Spring City location is great.

Great service and food, owner is very welcoming and passion about the quality for customers!! Happy hour special are a plus, very affordable & Thursdays karaoke 7-10pm with food specials!

Just stopped by the Army Navy store next door and decided to have a bite; my goodness was I surprised. The service was on point. Mango margarita was perfect and the fish tacos tasted like something you find on the roadside on the PCH, succulent, melted in my mouth awesomeness. I’ll drive the hour to come again.

The food is pretty good. I visited on a Friday afternoon to try the Watermelon Basil Margarita which was strong but it had too much Grand Marnier and not enough basil flavor. Now I don’t know if it’s just me but the energy always feels off in this restaurant. It never feels warm or inviting and I felt this same energy back when it was Juan Carlos. Something is just off about that place and I won’t be back again.
