This place is cool enough man. The food is at a very reasonable price and the portions are nice. They keep the place clean and service is prompt.The normal salsa they give is pretty bad. Like it's kind of sweet tomato adjacent bad. Ask for the spicy salsa, it's a mix of orange and green. It's some good stuff man. Still like negligible heat, like 1/12th if a jalapeno, but that's better than nothing. The chips themselves were crispy but not too interesting flavor-wise on their own. Or with the regular salsa.Their fajita quesadilla is pretty stuffed and that cook it just right. Slather some of that spicy salsa on that jawn and you going crazy. The rice and beans have noticable onions in them, if that's not your jive, then stay away.I will say, it kind of put me off that the TVs were there but they weren't on anything. The was honestly more distracting than if they are on with something playing.

Used to be one of my favorite restaurants... however, the last 2 times I've been, there has been a Roach crawling on the wall at our table and/or a hair in my food. The wait staff nor management acknowledged it either time. No apology, no conversation. My husband literally handed a waiter a napkin with the bug in it and he just walked away with it. Never said a word or returned to our table. Food and drinks were mediocre as well. We won't return.

ABSOLUTELY THE MOST DISGUSTING PLACE EVER!!!!!!!! Thought it was a hair but pulled it out of my quesadilla and it was the antenna of a cockroach!!!!! It had been cooked in the cheese

The music is REALLY loud.Update: (2023.01.30) The food is still really good. The music is still REALLY loud. You absolutely cannot have a conversation sitting across a table with someone. We actually started texting each other which took away from the experienceResolution: To go only for us.

First visit! Our experience started out with meeting the best server in all of our Greenville dining experience... Damaris! She navigated us through their diverse menu and directed us to an awesome meal! Appetizer was a Cheese dip... get this, chorizo, shrimp, beef , peppers and plus are all in there!Next up... trio of Tacos. Chicken, Beef and Beef Tongue... yep you read that right! I just had to try it! ( Jim is still shuddering ?) y'all it is good! To me it tasted like The good part of a chicken gizzard without the gristle. YUM!ON TO THE entree! We ordered the Super Molcajete for one..... We tried to order the one for two and Damaris steered us down the best path again... ( pictured is for one, took home 1/2 of that)Highlights of this meal:Damaris (Server extraordinaire)Beef Tongue TacoCactus ( our first taste) we both lovedTotal food qualityThe hot salsa... fresh and perfect spicyOooh.... the Magaritas!!! That is a whole different post ?

Definitely a disappointment eating here. First, my husband and kids and I had to wait for a host to seat us for far too long. Weren't acknowledged at all.l after making direct contact. We then requested an order of meat that a boy said they couldn't do. So we had to pay $21 x 2 for a plate we weren't gonna eat then they charged extra for meat that wasn't extra. Quantity was awful. We asked literally 5 times for a condiment that never made it to us. Then asked for sour cream and cheese that came with our plate...but was charged extra for it. We waited over 30 mins to eat while waiting for things we never received. Ended up paying almost $90 and left still hungry. Quantity was terrible also. Food was bland. The waitresses also had attitudes while throwing dishes around making it entirely too loud. Also it was very dirty. Do not recommend at all!! I'm a big tipper as well usually but this was just terrible service.

We go here all the time. Good food, good prices, but sometimes they're short staffed and due to that they take forever sometimes to take your order. But they did set chips and drinks on the table so at least we had something to munch on while we were there waiting and once they took our order it was out within 5 minutes. Worth rmtge try.

Really good Mexican food.FOOD:The chips were good and the salsa was bright with good flavor. I will ask for spicy next time.The torta was delicious and had a nice balanced flavor.The chicken chimichanga has really tender and flavorful meat and was a fair portion with rice beans and fresh guac salad and sour cream. It could have used a bit more time to get that crisp crunch.The tea was spot on.SERVICE: The service was good.LOCATION: Midtown, right at the center of Pelham Road, Pleasantburg, East North and Wade Hampton so you can get here within minutes of JUST about anywhere in Greenville/Greer/TaylorsPRICE: Fair enough for the portion sizes

Standards for cleanliness and quality very low here. Bathrrom was filthy and slipped on the floor on the way back. I can only imagine the kitchen. My $10 enchilada platter was a joke. 4 very small corn tortillas wrapping flavorless chicken, ground beef, cheese and beans. No enchilada sauce or seasonings whatsoever and piled high with lettuce to make it look adequate..it was not. Stay as far from this place as you can.

Where to begin... Dirty bathrooms Lousy and burnt food Incorrect order/missing items This is the worst Mexican food in Greenville

When I sat down the seat wasn't that good. My kid got the cheese burger with fries and the fries look like they were frozen and they heat them.5/30

Back booze for those restaurant since the manager ran the owners brother ouch. I went back today after a six-month break hoping things have gotten better but, unfortunately the managers brother and staff has very little to say to me as a customer... Including welcome, what may we get you, would you like to order. LOL but the real joke is on now as business has gone down, not due to the pandemic, and the attitudes are consistently bad from most of the staff. The hostess was extremely nice and gladly took my order to go as I could not get waited on in house. that is the only reason I have given a two star review versus a no star review! Lots of choices and they have lost the potential of my future business for another six months :(

Moved here from AZ -- this is the best Mexican food I've found in the Carolinas.

The portions were very small. The meat and salad were less than half a portion. Before the portions were more abundant. We ordered fajitas with salad without onion, and the most in the salad was onion. A shame. I had that restaurant as one of the tastiest in Greenville but they have lowered the quality a lot

Anne Rivera

Excellent food. Coming from the Southwest, we were very satisfied!
