The food is always so fresh and amazing and don’t get me started on the amazing Texas margaritas. Juan and Jessica are the most welcoming people ever, as are all the staff. Can’t beat this place!

This is our favorite Mexican place in Chattanooga by far. 10/10. The menu is great, I have tried multiple items and haven’t been disappointed yet! Please support this local business!

I got two medium margaritas and the chicken fajitas and my tab was $75 bucks. Was decent just way over priced! Also on another day I got the molcajete and it also was ok but not amazing. Figure a place with that in the name would have AWESOME molcajete.
