This incredible restaurant comes highly recommended with 100% satisfaction. It offers many fun activities nearby, and additionally, they have painting classes next door for kids grown-ups. The food is excellent and the vibe is great.

I went here with my mama for lunch. She had told me about this restaurant a while back. But I have never been there so Carol was our server and she was very nice and attentive. Polite and always took care of every single one of our needs right on time. The food was absolutely amazing. I am definitely going to recommend this restaurant it is so beautiful do you have friendly servers you have Great Cooks you have great customer service. You can't beat that so whether you live locally or you're just passing through. You definitely need to visit this restaurant. Highly recommended and the prices are very affordable my mother and I had lunch for less than $30. And of course we left her a nice tip most of these waitresses live on tips. So I definitely recommend tipping waitresses. Enjoy as you can see from the plates we really enjoyed our food and we took the rest home. Also oh I forgot to mention one more thing they have the freshest salsa ever. They make it fresh each and every day and it's yummy

The Tamale was one of the best I've had in my many decades of eating them. Great authentic choices at reasonable prices. Lisbeth is an amazing server. Very attentive and friendly. Vibe and ambiance were an immediate 10 out of 10. Will definitely be back.

Would very much recommend as the people, atmosphere and food were great. Music was playing and tv's were on but could still enjoy a conversation. Chicken and shrimp was perfection- the seasoning was AMAZING. Queso & salsa were also good.

We’ve been here twice now and it’s good overall. However, the service is always mid and the food is very overpriced. I have no problem paying for better quality food but this is middle of the road mexican food for an up charge. Probably won’t be coming back a third time.

We absolutely love this location, beautiful decorations, authentic feel and taste. The staff is always welcoming as soon as you sit down you’re welcome by fresh chips and homemade salsa. Their margarita drinks specials are phenomenal two for nine dollars. We get it with a sugar rim cause why not. Or go to meal is very unexpected. It is the Hawaiian fajitas which comes with chicken steak and their ground sausage, which is delicious. The best compliment I can give is I continually forget to take pictures because of when it looks and smells so good

The home made salsa is 10/10. Tastes so fresh and bursting with flavor! The service was fast and friendly! The bathroom was clean and the atmosphere was very nice! Lots of beautiful art along the walls. The food was good but not great which is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. However, the price was extremely affordable! My plate was $12 and my husband’s was $17. We would come back if we were in the area.
