Litterally the best place to get Mexican food!!! We are newish regulars and usually get the bigger stuff on the menu to take home later! A little expensive but definitely worth it for the food! The people are amazing too!

Service was excellent! They served the food very quickly, amazingly large portions and it was piping hot! Since we were starving, that was perfect and the food did not disappoint. Would definitely go back to try it again.

My husband and I just ate here, and we were pleased with the service! The interior design inside is gorgeous, and the food was absolutely delicious! We both agree that this Mexican restaurant is now our new favorite! If you are a local or visiting be sure to stop in, you won’t regret it!

Great mexican restaurant! Food was outstanding and the service was fast and amazing too. We ordered a chicken taco salad, a chimicanga chicken dinner and one steak taco. We asked to sub spicy chicken in both entrees. They did, but offered to spice it up even further with sliced jalapenos. We took them up on the offer and glad we did. The jalapenos added the spice we needed without it being to hot or overbearing. The steak taco was delicious as well as the chicken taco salad. The flavors were super and both dishes had a lot of meat. It was a huge taco that came with a side of spicy salsa that I poured over everything, It was that good! Perfect amount of spice. One of the best Mexican restaurants we have been to in a long time.

Stopped in here after checking out all the big things around town... we had the biggest lunch platter I’ve ever seen. It was yummy and there was plenty for us to share!! The service was fast and friendly. Would return if passing through again.

Excellent food and plenty of it for the price. Will add it to my places to eat when in the area list. Wife did order a med-rare cook on her steak and it came well done but the quickly apologized and replaced it appropriately. Servers staff were all very friendly even though it was just as the end of the after church rush. (Photo of my sreak & chucken fajitas plates) about 13.

We were so pleased to find this restaurant open on a Thursday afternoon. The building had a neat atmosphere. We all enjoyed our food, chips, and salsa. There is a nice photo op outside.

Drove over 2 hours just to give this place a try and we were beyond and pressed. We got seated quickly and didn't have to wait long for our food to come out. For the price the food was well portioned and delicious. Service was great. Will visit again in the future.
