“My mom, daughter and I drove around for a while because most restaurants were packed. Then we drove by this place and saw it wasn't and decided to try it out. It was so good!!! We both got the mexican plate (taco and enchiladas) and daughter got queso and chips (she's picky). All of it was really good. The host and the waiter were cool. I would definitely come back for food and service!“

“Food was delicious. Ordered the Bistec Ranchero en salsa and it was very good. Flour Tortillas are made by hand and one is the size of 3. They serve a sopa de fideo as a starter. Agua Frescas are served in a small pitcher. Very flavorful. Do recommend. Just to server.. she was kind but please dont press the tip button percentage before we even have a chance to put our own. We gave deserved tip but that action itself was questionable.“

“Amazing place, beautiful heated pool, beach access and one of the most amazing views to the golf, they have a full restaurant and bar, their staff was so friendly, we noticed that you mainly need to speak Spanish and we ask for strong drinks, kind of pricey but they were really good, and worth the location and nice spot, we didn't tried food yet but we will try next time“
