Food was bland and took a long time with only a few customers present for lunch. Kids meals were wrong and all three adults got sick.

The birria tacos here are AMAZING. So juicy and so flavorful, I literally dream of these. Their happy hour specials are also crazy good, if you’re looking for great deals downtown. 10/10

Great service and food. It's a large restaurant and they are very friendly. Portions are large. Margaritas are excellent and the happy hour price is unbelievable. We are moving to Chattanooga soon and this place is at the top of our list for happy hour and Mexican food.

My son and I went for the first time on a Tuesday this past week. Everyone was super friendly and the food was seasoned great. They have a pretty large menu and thetr is a lot to choose from. The entree with three chicken , shrimp and rice was super yummy and everything was seasoned great. The lady behind me got the exact same dish but added onions and peppers , so I can't wait to try it this way next time. The cheese dip and salsa were both yummy. We will definitely go back and try more dishes.

OMG! This place is delish! We had great service, which is always welcomed! Our server - Cristian was very helpful telling us about the menu as this was first visit. He also was very attentive throughout the meal. Aside from excellent service the food was so dang good! It's been a bit since I have enjoyed a fish taco or birrilla taco as much as I did here. Thank you so much!

We are just in town for a few days so we were depending heavily on reviews for our choices. This restaurant absolutely hit the mark with delicious Mexican food and service. They had ample lunch choices and adult happy hour specials for those not working. I had the chicken fajitas and they were excellent. Even the rice and beans were excellent. The chips, cheese dip, and salsa were fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend giving them a try if you are in the area.

If I could give a place zero stars I would! What I experienced today was an absolute disgrace. A paying customer who was wheelchair bound and may or may not have been homeless was treated awful today!! The owner went behind this man and tried to “discreetly” spray room aerosol on/around this man!! Not ONCE but 3 times!! I’m sorry, but WHAT?!?! This man wasn’t causing any trouble, and came in to enjoy lunch like the rest of us and was treated as less than! The small lunch group of us were in disbelief and will no longer be supporting this establishment!!
