Best Mexican food that I have had in a long time, and that is saying something in central Texas.

I found the chips to be stale, the salsa watery, service inattentive and main dishes just ok. There are better options for restaurants.

Nice clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Seems good for a large group. I had the grilled shrimp tacos. The Spanish rice was excellent.

I had made a review about this place a year ago and I don’t know if they changed management or owners or what but it seems like it has gone down hill. Me and my husband came back because we assumed they still had brunch well they don’t anymore, we got there about a hour after they opened and there was only 2 servers we just stand by the front door for a while before anyone said anything then a waiter came up to us and sat us a 2 top table. Our waiter was nice but I had to repeat myself several times to him which I kind of got annoyed we got a queso and chips other than us there only 2 other tables taken and then another table came in so it was not that busy but our waiter took a while to take our food order. I ordered enchiladas verdes which is what is pictured and my husband got hatche chile verde burrito I think it was (not pictured) my husband said that it was not even spicy at all which he thought it was going to be. My enchiladas had way to much sour cream on top that the enchiladas itself were cold and I got a small side of rice which that’s why I put the chip there for comparison. The enchiladas also had like cubed chicken pieces in there instead of shredded chicken how it’s supposed to, I was just really really disappointed because we came for brunch that time and it was good and the food was delicious. I also included a picture of my silvaware that still had old food stuck to it I had to scrape it with my finger nail, if you are Mexican or Latino don’t come here cause you will be disappointed I think this is more “white people mexican food” or in other words Tex-Mex iykwim. I would rather drive a hour into Austin to find real authentic Mexican food than to dine at any of the so called “Mexican restaurants” in this town don’t waste your time or money at any of these places because they will disappoint you.

Love this place! It is definitely different from other Mexican restaurants in Texas. Everything feels light and fresh. Service is beyond reproach, maybe the most consistent I've seen. Margaritas are fantastic! Love the queso, the shrimp tacos, the fajitas! Never had anything bad. The inside is super cute and always very clean and the backporch is great in good weather!

Best Mexican food in town! Clearly they make their own chips and salsa. Food was great! Margaritas were refreshing! Now our only place for Mexican food.

Good Mexican food. This location used to be Toupsies and before that its was Bill’s Burgers. The location is what hurts them. This is a pretty good Mexican restaurant. The Hatch chile enchiladas were very good. I like their food better than Memos. Lunch specials are reasonably priced. I hope they survive.

Headed home from Georgetown stopped in for lunch received great advice on life from possible the owner. Was a great experience. Food was excellent.

What a phenomenal experience!
Friendly service, great atmosphere, it appeared very clean.
The loaded queso was one of the best one's I've ever tried, highly recommend.
I personally love quesabirria tacos, tried them, very good quantity and quality for the price.
The menu layout was easy to navigate and easy on the eyes.
They have a full bar and dessert menu that I didn't try, but will next visit.
