    Had to stop in our neighborhood restaurant to support local businesses. This little place is nice. Very clean, bright staff is friendly and helpful. It has a nice little bar and plenty of TV's. The booths are nice and plenty of room. It has both tables and booths. My wife and I were pleased. The chips were fresh and warm,, the salsa was just right, not all watered down. It had plenty of taste and heat. Our main dish was chicken fajitas. It had a good taste and was well cooked. For dessert we had the chiros and they were wonderful. I hope this place doesn't change, they have a good thing going. This place had a nice crowd tonight and you feel welcome. Try it out and see for yourself.

    Hello Jeffersontown!! Another Mexican restaurant in the area and you will not be disappointed..the ambience was very nice and colorful...restrooms were very clean..and of course I judge every Mexican restaurant by their house margaritas and was extremely pleased!! The salsa and cheese dip was tasty...however the taquitos could have been wrapped tighter because they fell apart after I bite into them and was too fragile to dip into the queso or salsa. If you are a guacamole lover....you will not be disappointed....the overall service was very nice...I will definitely be back!!!

    I really loved my experience at this restaurant!! Food was excellent and came quickly, service was wonderful. My only criticism would be the volume of the music was very loud, so we had to shout over it for conversation. I would most definitely (and have) recommend this restaurant! And on Sundays, the do $1.99 kids meals!

    The place is very well lit, too light, very nice decor, a lot of tvs, The particular waitress didn't wait on us that good. No drink refill, disappeared on us etc etc etc The food wasn't as good as we anticipated.

    The taco salad was bland, absolutely tasteless. The Tortilla soup was full of large cauliflower and carrot pieces and tasted like bland vegetable soup. Won't be returning.

    If you like Mexican Cuisine, check out Yellow Cactus! The food is absolutely delicious! My wife and I have visited this location twice and enjoyed everything! The food, service and atmosphere are all top notch!

    The food was good. But if you have a coupon and you meet others for dinner then only one person per table can use the coupon. We won’t go back.

    Never thought this hole in the wall Mexican diner would be this good! I ordered the fajitas trio and the Pollo tortilla soup was both amazing. The server was cordial. Place had an upbeat music, Mexican theme decor bright and jovial. I love it, will go back again.

    Great food and service. The place was clean and colorful and everyone was super nice. They serve good (big) portions which is great. Would recommend.

    I got the "wet burrito" with shredded cheese instead of queso, they don't seem to mind substitutions. The burrito was huge, plenty for lunch the next day, and tasty too! The double Patron margarita was worth the trip by it's self! I feel kinda bad, I wrote my tip on my receipt, but don't think my server received it...😕. It's not anywhere near my neighborhood, but I'll definitely try to come back 👍😁

    Decent food for the price. Falls in line with most other Mexican cuisine places. Nothing fancy but fast and good.

    Excellent food! So delicious, I ordered the chicken fajita tacos , we got Churros for dessert and a coke. For 2 entrees dessert and a coke. The cost 38.00. I believe the price was lower than other Mexican restaurants in the area. We will be back.
