Love the food and everyone there are so nice, I deeply love the interior personally I haven't seen anything like that. I will 100% will be coming back no matter what, it has such a calming atmosphere in there it reminds me of a restaurant I used to go to when I was younger with my family. I deeply appreciate the workers there they are always so nice and welcoming.
Really good Mexican food! Very different from the norm, but in a good way. Don Julio Margaritas were also excellent! Highly recommend giving them a try! My only complaint was the complimentary serving of chips and salsa was very small, but you can get chips and salsa anywhere. If you're looking for excellent Mexican food, this is your place!
Always an amazing experience. The BEST margaritas in the area, I LOVE the coconut and watermelon, my boyfriend gets their jalapeño every time. Authentic cuisine, and great service! We are neighbors and get treated like family.
Great food and amazing margaritas! We especially enjoyed the fresh lime juice option in the margaritas. Friendly staff and decent prices.
I've been coming here for years. They always do an excellent job. The thing that has always impressed me is the size of the menu. There are the dishes you find in most Mexican restaurants but they have done additional, and interesting, choices here. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly. My favorite dish is the seafood enchiladas. They also have a good assortment of mixed drinks.
Ownership change but still one of the best Mexican restaurants around. We have been going here for years and were hesitant to go back after ownership change again. However, upon walking in and seeing the same cooks I knew it would be great. The food was fresh and very filling. The new decor when you walk in is a great touch. What has improved? Tequila selection and margaritas! So good! If you're up for a spicy jalapeño margarita I was very impressed with that one. Overall so happy to have a staple back and running in town with amazing service and food.
Still a favorite with great food and friendly service. Good selection of margaritas, and an extensive menu. The friendly service also helps!
Went today for lunch and left full and happy! Our server was awesome, recommended the Campecino Burrito and it was probably one of the best I've ever had (also it's gigantic). Definitely will be back and I'm sad I haven't been here sooner! PS- The Strawberry Daquiris are tasty.
