Service was horrible! Walked in got seated right away. Had menu's and chips and salsa. Waited and waited people got seated after us got waited on as soon as they sat down. Waited over ten minutes never saw a waitress. We got up and said something to lady seating people. She never said sorry or anything. So we walked out and went somewhere else. Unfortunately we won't be back.

Despite the courteous and prompt service, our experience took a turn for the worse due to severe food poisoning. Initially, the food seemed appetizing, but it resulted in a night of discomfort and illness for my family. I spent the night battling nausea and diarrhea, while my niece endured multiple episodes of vomiting at 3 am. This unexpected outcome overshadowed any positives from our dining experience. Maybe it was a fluke, but we’ll be bypassing this place on our travels in the future.

Flavorful and delicious food, served quickly by attentive but not intrusive server. Really enjoyed it. Outdoor seating gave a pleasant view of Blackstone.

A cop we ran into walking around told us to try this. We had lunch, it was pretty good. All of us got something different, all satisfied. Quality Mexican food, about the same as most solid places around the state. Raid sirens went off on the other side of the street when we left and a patrol car came screaming down the street. All in all a good time.

Since it was Valentine's Day and this is the only Mexican Restaurant within 30-40 miles, the wait to be seated and served was a little longer than average. Once we got our food, we found it was well worth the wait. The fajita serving is huge, and the fish tacos are super delish! All-in-all, the 1 hour drive was worth it.

My kids and I stopped in for dinner and had a great experience. The staff was great, service was fast and we all had a great meal. Tamara took care of us and both my 7 and 10 year old commented on how great she was. We will be back again.Kid-friendliness: Staff were very nice to my children.

A group of 6 went recently for dinner. The food is not really Mexican and the staff is Central American. Our excellent waitress recommended a few dishes and she was right. The shrimp dish was good and I had excellent carnitas. The margaritas were good because we ordered the ones made without the mix. The red sauce with chips was very tasty but they also brought out a white sweet sauce. Weird. The corn and four tortillas aren’t good, store bought and the guacamole is also store bought. When the food is not store bought, it’s quality. They really need fresh made pico de gallo and house made guacamole and corn tortillas made in house.

Very good food, excellent wait staff, good amount of food on plate for arouysame price as anywhere else. Food very delicious!!! Will go back at another time and try something new and different!!!! Mango margarita could have used just a touch more Mango but other than that very good and the Texas Fajita no words can describe it was very good.

We came for the special on the tacos. They were good, but being from Texas, I expected a little more spice. The margaritas were amazing. I really enjoyed that. Even though it was very busy, the service was prompt and helpful. Their dessert was pretty amazing, though. It is definitely worth coming out and trying their food. I wish we could have come a second time to try another dish.Parking: Parking was pretty easy to get.

The food was pretty good. However the reason for the fou stars was the service. The service was not so good. Yes, they were busy but we had to ask several times for condiments, silverware and the wrong food was brought to our table twice. Overall not to bad of a place.
