"Love this place. Definitely A cut above any Mexican food in the area. Lunch menu is very reasonably priced. Friendly staff, food was hot, well prepared, and well seasoned. Just an all around great experience. Can't wait to go back."

"Went for dinner with some friends, the service was great and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is family-friendly."

"Our first time here, highly recommended by my cousin. Food was very good. Mom had grilled shrimp (medium size for all you shrimp lovers) with mushrooms and rice. I had shredded beef tacos, rice and beans. The beef had a flavorful red sauce. I also brought home for hubby, the Chile Colorado. He said it was pretty darn good."

"Excellent place with very cool Mexican ambiance. Tasty guac and salsa and fresh warm chips that are replenished promptly. My recommendation? Try their shrimp cocktail, it's not anything like the American version and absolutely delicious! Parking is part of the Kroger parking lot and the restaurant is easily accessible. Plenty of indoor seating. Staff is helpful and attentive. We had a great lunch and will be back for sure!"

"First and most important, our waitress was so incredibly friendly! She was always smiling and was very attentive. The restaurant ambiance is colorful and lots of things to look at while you’re waiting on food. Our chips were fresh as was the salsa. I ordered the Supreme salad, oh my goodness I’ve never had a warm salad but this was delicious! It was packed with chicken, shrimp, beef, broccoli, zucchini, mmmm rice was incredible! My daughters ordered carnitas tacos and a carne enchilada, paired with a radish mix . Both girls were overly full when we left. The check out host was so friendly too! Definitely worth the challenge to park or wait for a seat. Bathroom was also clean and well kept."
