"Whoa Nelly. Some of the BEST Mexican I have had, and I’ve had a lot. Love the tortillas here and how authentic the dishes are. Too bad I live an hour away or else I’d be here daily. You have to stop by and get some tacos, I got the el pastor and it didn’t not disappoint. The queso is also FIRE. Not thick and it comes with a little smack to the face of heat."

"A solid Mexican restaurant with quality eats. The house chips were light and crispy, and the lunch combination I tried offered good variety - a tamale, burrito, and enchilada that were simple but flavorful. The T-Steak Margarita was particularly satisfying, with a well seasoned steak topped with melted cheese. The space is bright and welcoming, with a colorful interior that makes dining here feel comfortable and relaxed. A very pleasant dining experience overall."

"The service is always great! I've never tried this before Margaritas mango camaron. I will definitely have this again! A little sweet with the mango, a little bit spicy with jalapeños. A great combination of flavors. There's Pico De Gallo, grilled shrimp , avocado , mango , and fried jalapeños."

"Great local Mexican Restaurant. The location has been many different restaurants over the years. It is right across the street from Washburn. It is not a shiny fancy new place. This is well worn and awesome - like your favorite pair of jeans. Go if you are hungry and want to enjoy yourself."

"Service was quick, and the server was friendly and efficient. Food came out quickly. The margaritas are some of the best I've had, particularly for the price. (I always manage to get a brain freeze but it's worth it.) We love the ground beef queso for starters, and the chips are nicely crispy with fresh salsa. The vegetarian quesadilla was large enough for 2 meals (yay for leftovers!). The pan fried taco was tasty, and the Guacamole Mexicano (onions, tomatoes, avocado, and seared jalapeño slices) is fresh and flavorful - made even better with camarones/shrimp. We also enjoyed 2 1/2 birthday tequila shots (the 1/2 shot was in a really cute, tiny mug). Not the freshest interior but appears fairly clean. Outdoor seating is nice in decent weather."

"The food was good. Drinks were good. Service was a bit slow. The restaurant needs an update. I could feel the wooden frame through the worn-out cushions. By the end of the meal, my butt was numb."
