    The atmosphere is very relaxing. It is small but very cozy. Very server in their stopped to ask if I needed anything. You won’t be disappointed by the service. The food was hot and tasted amazing. The best restaurant in the area to get your Mexican fix. Everyone working is super friendly and willing to stop and get you what you need. Good for families or eating alone.

    I purchased take out and was so happy that I dropped by this place randomly. The nachos were phenomenal and the enchiladas were pretty good. It was a ton of food and it all tasted really good. The nachos supreme was loaded with everything, but I did add a little salt. The enchiladas were pretty flavorful. I ended up sharing with two other people because there was so much food!

    Staff was extremely friendly. Food came out fairly quickly and tasted ok, nothing spectacular. Expected more for the price, $60 for 2 meals. The chips they brought while we waited for the food didn't taste all that fresh. Margaritas were a pre-made mix made with bottom shelf liquor.

    This location had the best white sauce, with the perfect amount of heat.

    I’m an avid fan of Mexican restaurants. My family and I always enjoy going and getting our fill. However, I must say this location was very disappointing. Most Mexican restaurants don’t charge extra for chips and salsa, but this one does and God for bid you want refills on your drinks… Such a shame. My wife ordered the shrimp taco salad and it came halfway full in the shell. It’s a shame to spend $14 on a meal and leave hungry. I ordered the Mexican burrito with beans. Needless to say I was very disappointed with the size of the burrito and the amount of bean. Overall, very disappointed with the quality of the food and the portion sizes. I can honestly say I will never visit this location again.

    Absolutely fantastic food here. Their taco's are out of this world and the white sauce for the chips is great. Seating was fast and the staff was very friendly and on the ball. Had our drinks within just a couple of minutes and once we ordered our dinner the food was on the table in about 10 minutes which is fantastic. So for a nice relaxing evening and great authentic Mexican food this is the place to be.

    WHEN I SAY IT WAS AMAZING I MEAN IT!!!! I have NEVER had faster service. FASTER THEN FAST FOOD ALMOST!! Food was delicious, they were fully staffed, extremely reasonably priced and on a friday night we were in and out within literally, 35 mins total. My boyfriend and i were in literal shock. Made from scratch food, hot and ready. We went back the next day for lunch. Got both our meals within 6 mins of sitting down! Hot and fresh!!! Churros are amazing and so were the quesadillas. The chips come with this salsa that fair warning, is a bit spicy. We love spicy though! And this unique cold, creamy dip that i cant describe. It was delicious though! Like nothing ive ever had before. In and out within 30 mins. Very attentive and kind.102/10 would recommend!!!! We will happily travel from fredericksburg to eat here again. Also, get the peach texas margarita, real peach flavor nothing artificial. We will be back! Also our airbnb had high recommendations for them. The cozy hideaway. ❤️ Cant wait to eat there again!

    Great place to grab some casual Mexican eats, so far every dish me and my family have had here has been really good. Extremely quick service even on a busy taco Tuesday night. The Margaritas are also pretty great, not the biggest I've seen but fairly sized for the price and definitely not skimp on the tequila. Overall would recommend if you are a Mexican food stan like me and my family 😁

    I have been going to the restaurant for over 5 years. They have increased the prices of food which is understandable. But when you order the same items that you always order you expect to get what you pay for. Despite the price increase the portion size has decreased as has the quality of the food. I spent over $50.00 for 2 taco salads, sm cheese dip, small portion of guacamole dip and a ice tea. We could have ordered to 2 steak dinners elsewhere for less. Unfortunately, we won't be back again. The food quality and portion size is definitely not worth over $50.00. I would highly recommend eating elsewhere. I spoke to the manager to address my concerns, but it fell on deaf ears. Definitely feel that I was over charged for the meal. The food was sub par at best.

    This is a great place. I walked in a little before noon on a Saturday and ordered 12 crunch tacos, 6 soft tacos, 2 sides of rice, 2 sides of beans, and a large queso, and they had it ready in less than 5 minutes. Dine-in is also a great experience. Most of the servers have been working there for years and they are all top notch.

    Doubd it on google and wanted to try it. Walked in to staff with smiling faces and greeted very well at door. Our server made sure we were ok throughout our lunch. EXCELLENT service with our server DAVID thank you! Ordered the green enchiladas and they were freshly made, green sauce was UNBELIEVABLY delicious. The chips and salsa are pretty damn good too🙌🏾❤️ We will DEFINITELY be coming back alot more 😎b

    Older staff not as friendly, more just get it done attitude, but still good service usually. The one lady and couple younger guys are more friendly/ talkative. The food is good-great. On the rare occasion they've made a mistake, they fixed it quickly and without complaining. They disappear after they put down the check, so if you want a drink refill, make sure you say so then because it's your last chance. Definitely recommend.

    The food was ok, nothing special. I have had better, the horchata was good. And the waitress was very friendly and attentive.

  • 4/5 Irene H. 6 months ago on Google
    This was my second time ordering the Carnitas platter. Delicious! Our servers were outstanding, in particular the young man who served and rang our bill. My one complaint was the head server who kept insisting he wouldn't sit our group of 9 together because he'd have to put tables together. He connected a table to a booth, and our fiesta began.

  • 5/5 Ph s. 1 year ago on Google
    Felt like a taco night, so we popped in on a random Saturday evening. Service was excellent attentive. To top it off, everything was served hot and fast! One thing surprising is that chips and salsa no longer come with free refills. Unfortunately I feel that's just a sign on the times and can't fault the place for doing so. Regardless, definitely recommend a visit!

    So delicious! I really enjoyed their cheese dip. For dinner I got chicken and rice, one of the chef’s specials, And it was very tasty and very filling! Quick service and very nice servers. It was a great way to end our day and a great place for a good date! Will definitely be back!
