Precios extremadamente caros, aparte otro punto importante te cobran el 20% de tips obligatoriamente según ellos solamente por el servicio y aparte quieren más tips en efectivo para nada recomendable
Very pleasant atmosphere. Service and food was excellent.

Food was good, better than most tex mex around the area. However, what irked me the most was the forced gratuity payment and the service charge. Places need to be more upfront about these sort of things. Also, the fact that there's a forced gratuity charge should mean that they should be paying their workers a fairer wage.
Edit: You know what? After much consideration, I'm backtracking and taking off another point because if the gratuity is already included, does it even matter if I get excellent service? Really, the service itself was average and not impressive. I thought a tip was used to congratulate your server on their excellent service, not just a bonus for bringing you your food and refilling your drink. (Also, it took them quite a while to provide me a refill on my drink)

It’s was our first time having dinner tonight and it was amazing 10/10 food and service was quick and awesome !
I would have give it a 5-star because of atmosphere and food that is great, but when I saw my ticket and I saw a credit card service fee, I said wow all the restaurants don't do that but this one does. I'm sorry but now next time part of that service fee will be part of the tip sorry waitersand waitress. So I give this restaurant 4 stars now.

My family came for dinner on a week night, kinda late (7:30pm ish), with a 3 week old infant. We had hearing protection for her, but nothing could’ve prepared us for the noise we experienced. There were 4 birthday “celebrations” that happened in the short time we were there and it was the most unpleasant experience in a restaurant any of us ever had. Not to mention, even with hearing protection, every single time it terrified that poor baby even from across the building. We slammed our food and booked it out of there as quickly as we could.
The food itself was very bland, and fairly expensive. One of their salsas was excellent though!
Overall, this restaurant was not our cup of tea at all. I can understand though that some people would love the rowdy environment! There’s just better Mexican food with a little more relaxed atmosphere all over Midcounty or SETX.

The octopus is fire 🔥
First time ever going, and it will be the last time. Over priced, over rated. I ordered fajitas & they never brought tortillas. The kid’s burgers were nasty, and the top of the buns were burnt with an EL REFU STAMP. This place just looks good but it’s really nasty . Take your money somewhere else PLEASE !!!!! It’s not worth it.
Love coming here! Everything is good. The no name platter though is what we recommend. Plus, each time that we've been here, we get pur picture taken and they sell it in these really neat frames for $20. Just a great experience all around.

I usually really enjoy my experience here but tonight was not the best since I raised a concern that I seemed to have a piece of my chicken that was undercooked. I had spit it out before I ingested it since the piece was very squishy and chewy! I saw that it was pink when I did, it is pictured below. I told the server but she just walked away didn’t say anything. She then returned and acted like I didn’t mention that I had undercooked chicken in my enchiladas. Not a very pleasant experience at all
