This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Roanoke! Which is crazy but it’s true. We go very often. Food is always good and well priced. Comes out quickly. It’s certainly no fine dining experience but if you want Mexican food it’s my favorite spot ( and we really love Mexican food). They have a good amount of authentic options as well. All of the servers are great and the owner is always friendly and checks in with you. Highly recommend.

Food was ok I asked for no cheese and she took the lettuce off too. Don’t order alcohol from here we ordered 1jumbo margarita to share our server didn’t understand. So we got 2, total waste of money could not taste any tequila and when she came and asked, I told her it wasn’t very strong and she said it only comes with one shot? WTH? it cost $11 and an up charge to make it Strawberry!!!! $25 Never again!!!!

Went for my grandsons 21 birthday and my other grandsons girlfriends birthday. We have done mexican restaurants over the years to celebrate with the big hat and singing ..This place shocked all of us by smashing a napkin full of whipped cream in their faces when done..It got all down my grandsons shirt and shorts and my future grandaughter had just had her lashes done and hair colored for her birthday and that cream was smazhed into her face getting all into her lashes and hair. So our fun night out to go birthday shopping ended with everybody mad and going home to get showers to get that sticky crap off . NEVER will any of us go there again. Food not that great anyway since the chips they use under the nacho supreme were clearly leftovers tasting stale..hopefully not off somebody elses plate before me but who knows ..just eat there at your own risk and if you want to celebrate and have a fun birthday..dont go here...they will ruin it .
