Awesome food, friendly service.
Got kinda worried when I saw most of the customers in there were older white people in their finest tropical shirts. Should've listened to my instincts.
The food is very pricey and tastes like bland Taco Bell. I ordered the puffy tacos thinking the we're like Navajo tacos, nope two puffed up corn tortillas with a boat load of iceberg lettuce a little over seasoned meat, shredded cheddar and a few diced tomatoes, absolutely no sides $16.
My boyfriend ordered beef fajitas once again not that much meat and a large portion of the plate was taken up by chopped lettuce with a little pico sprinkled on top, some bland rice, and small cup of pintos beans that was mostly juice. Who ever owns this place is probably saving quite a bit by having the main ingredient of every dish be chopped lettuce. Don't come here if you want decent texmex, might as well go to On the Border and get your money's worth.

The Guiso had no meat and was really salty. I told the waiter of this problem and he told me that the owner likes it this way. No Meat Guiso and Salty like the ocean and quietly eat the Borracho beans. Stay away from this place. Food and Service is HORRIBLE!

Love this family run restaurant. I always get the fajitas and they are always fresh, hot and plentiful. The salsa is nice and hot, just how I like it. Another plus is they serve Coke Zero. Friendly and caring staff. Great spot for Tex-Mex.

Everything on the menu is amazing and the entire staff is friendly, welcoming and accommodating no matter the size of your party. Generous portions, fast service and a lovely atmosphere most days. It's a Dallas gem worth coming back to several times a month whether for a family gathering, an easy date night dinner or even a business lunch.

It’s crowded for a reason. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. Would highly recommend…even something different on the menu like the burger wrap

Wow! What an absolutely amazing experience here. Every time I come here it’s never a disappointment. I live further away in Plano now, so it’s been a couple years since my last visit. My friend & I ordered the queso to start, delicious.. For entrees we had Camorones in Creamy Chipotle Sauce & The Pechugade Pollo. I had to add on a tamale with chile con carne a la carte. The Camerones were fresh, plump, & so tasty. Served with a generous amount of sliced avocado & tortilla soup. My friend couldn’t finish so he’s excited for leftovers tomorrow. My Pechuga de Pollo, my go to meal was amazing. The chicken breast was juicy & seasoned to perfection. My tamale, with the chile con carne.. Illegal! lol. Juan & Martin provided the most outstanding service. I will be back! Highly recommend. I have never tried anything I didn’t love here. Come visit soon!

I stepped into the vibrant atmosphere and was warmly welcomed by the friendly host. They guided me to the bar to place my to-go order. Although the bartenders were bustling with activity on a lively Friday, it taught me the value of patience. After a little wait, I received the menu, and when the bartender returned to take my order, I realized that even in the rush, small moments like forgetting a margarita or waiting for water can add depth to the experience. The food arrived in a timely manner, and while it was delicious, I could sense it might have tasted even better in the restaurant's ambiance. Overall, it was a decent experience, reminding me that every outing can teach us something, regardless of the day's circumstances.
