    Eddie was awesome btw. Super kind and attentive. Probably the best service I’ve experienced in a long time. Restaurant is cute with indoor and outdoor seating. Inside there’s like layers of seating. Not the cleanest inside (Booths/tables). Dishes were fine. The menu has so much stuff on it it’s over whelming. Half the menu and it’d be perfect. Avocados were awesome!!

    We stopped here for dinner while visiting the area. We started off with a side of the Gruamole. They make it at your table. It was fresh and very delicious.  I highly recommend the Gruamole for starters. We went a few days before Christmas and they were offering $5 Margaritas. The Margaritas were refreshing, perfectly made and delicious. We ordered the Burrito Deluxe and Master Fajita. Both meals were delicious and perfectly cooked.  They are generous with their portions so you get a great value for the portion sizes. We also tried  3 of of the Salsas which all had different flavors and temperatures and they were all delicious. All of the staff were nice and friendly and very attentive. As it was close to Christmas,  they handed out Christmas gift bags to everyone. The bags were full of wonderful candies from Mexico. Overall we has a great dinning experience.

    This is One of the best Mexican restaurants in this location. I would recommend any of their food or margaritas with the fresh fruit. I’ve never gotten a bad drink or meal from here. Sometimes depending on the server and how many tables they have the can get busy and not get back to your table right away but that’s only occasionally. The manager is very hands on and I was impressed with him moving from table to table checking on every customer while being very attentive to all his staff and their sections. (Kitchen, front desk, bar, etc) he needs a raise for sure. I would offer more bean dip with the chips while you wait for your food. Never enough for the amount of chips given.

    Food was very good. I got the pollo mole and my husband got the shrimp tacos! I love mole, thought there’s was great. I got black beans instead of refried beans and white rice instead of what it comes with. Great choice. Their guacamole appetizer they come around with is $12, not free. So just beware of that. It is very good thought and makes the experience feel very authentic! The salsas were not very good in my opinion. The service was a little slow, and it was VERY loud where we were, but overall the experience was good.

    Food was incredible! The house salsa was great and had some good heat, and the Guacamole was made fresh at the table. The service was great. Our server was Monica. She was very pleasant and not at all phased by our party of 11. I ordered the Tacos de Lengua on her recommendation and they knocked em out of the park! So good! 10/10 highly recommended!

    It was nice to have Mexican food in cosy environment. We ordered a lot of items and enjoyed the food. The Margarita and Mojito were awesome. Highly recommended for Mexican taste in Gainesville!

    David was our server and he was immaculate in every sense of the word… He heard my girlfriend say it was my birthday early on in the evening and he treated me with a sombrero happy birthday song and a shadow of tequila unknown to either of us… The food was amazing, and all of our special request were met. On top of that, he brought us every salsa from the salsa bar without us even asking! I highly recommend this place!

    I absolutely loved this place. The service was great; even though we were sitting outside, our waiter was very attentive and nice. We got free chips and dip to begin with which was nice. We then ordered a blueberry margarita medium which was delicious and also huge. I ordered the bandera enchiladas with chicken. It comes with one green, one red, and one queso. The queso one was my favorite but all of them were good. I also absolutely loved the rice and refried beans. I can’t remember exactly what my friend ordered but she enjoyed her food a lot as well. Lastly, this place is so cute. I didn’t get to see much of the inside but the outside has lots of decorations and overall the vibe is just good here. They are a bit on the pricey side but I did think that the portion size was good, I could barely finish my meal. Their margaritas are also not too expensive

    The salsa bar was unique for the area. The chips were fresh and good. The California burrito was good and filling. The three different enchiladas were good and the rice was huge for the portion. The question was really good.

    I was craving real Mexican food and this was honestly amazing. First time here and would certainly come back! The attention from our server Edgar was amazing, he gave us some great recommendations. The food was delicious and the cocktail as well! So happy we got to eat here. Definitely coming back. Try the guacamole, tacos Al pastor and the enchiladas rancheras. So good!!!

    From the time we walked in through our entire interaction with many staff we were taken care of as if we were family. Friendly greeting, fun waiters, and a special shout out to our waiter Ronn! He was amazing and super helpful. His recommendations and answers to our questions helped me and my husband pick our entree and we were both very satisfied! He was personable and super friendly!
