Just average. Not great, not bad. It's just good Mexican food and service. Not a place to avoid by any means, but not someplace to go out of your way to visit, either. We went because we were in the area and wanted Mexican. It was good.

We entered and we're seated at a two top with a small table. We were greeted and asked what we wanted to drink. We got our drinks and ordered our food. Then waited 15 minutes with empty beverages. It's a smaller place with only a few staff members. Asked for more chips with our cheese dip twice and didn't get them. Food was good. Service was lacking.

Was here with a a large group on NYE and I'll say the service was excellent and the food fantastic! Great options and the ultimate margarita is perfect! The fajitas are great and large portions! Got the Ixtapa Fajitas and boom they were a home run! Kaitlyn our server was amazing and extremely friendly and also attentive! Thank you for taking care of a party of 15!

I've been driving by and looking for a while. I've lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Central and southern California and in my 50's, I think I have a decent idea of what decent Mexican food is. This is not. At 7:00pm it looked closed but when we got to the door we saw other patrons seated and eating, so we went in. Stereotypical atmosphere with a large bar as the central focus of the establishment. Took a few minutes for anyone to appear and seats. Dirty menus. Salsa dried on the wall, sugar packet caddy and packets, salt shaker and a fine outline of ick around the tray it all was on. They seemed put out that I asked for them to please wipe the table down and replace the items that had obviously been neglected for some time. We made our choices and placed our order. Salsa arrived and the flavor was like Hunts canned spaghetti sauce with cilantro and WAY TOO MUCH CUMIN added. It tasted like what I imagine a wet dog covered in dollar store spaghetti sauce would. They brought out the queso dip and it was a lump of cheese, somewhat melted, swimming in butter flavored oil that had been poorly and necessarily combined. The chips were warm but not at all fresh and had come out of the oil sometime a few weeks back at the Santitos plant before being bagged up and sent to Walmart. Boo! My favorite part of Tex Mex style food, sullied by folks that haven't figured out how to clean a table properly and safely. When the main entrees arrived, the refried beans looked grey and like a cake that had fallen during baking and had been allowed to finish and then had cheese sprinkled on it to distract us from the appearance. The spanish rice was so tangy it was almost foul! Little to no seasoning to the ground beef in the enchiladas and tacos. The chili relllano was a cool blob of queao fresco wrapped in a giant chili that hadn't been seared and had the consistency of a rubbery bell pepper, dipped in batter and not fried long enough. Uncooked breading, dripping with oil, slathered on an under cooked and SWEET pepper. It's almost like someone from Minnesota taught the latins at the restaurant how to cook Mexican food... bland, wrong flavors, sweet and unappealing appearance. I would've said it was like my old next door neighbor Mrs. Lundegård had made a Mexican Hot-dish for the church social, but at least she got the seasoning in the neighborhood of Mexico.... When I ordered there was zero language barrier but when I wanted to address the quality of the food, " no Habla". He was rather stunned when I replied in his native tongue that the food sucked and we weren't happy with it, nor the conversation he and three other young men had been having in the middle of the dining room about what they had done after work with the prior evening. Suffice it to say it involved illegal contraband (not pot) and sex. Great. Have fun. Enjoy your liberty. Remember, some of us dumb white people understand spanish and use it quite well. We also don't like crapping our guts out later. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, phenomenal quality and flavor I would recommend allowing me to take the bullet for you at this establishment and avoid it. El Loro in Big Lake is on top of their game and leave the graphic conversations in the back of the house.

A bit slow to wait on us. We were seated quickly, but then...nada! Server had minimal personality and mostly grunted. Salsa was okay, better than expected (looks like tomato sauce). At least they had good condiments (Cholula, el yucateco green and red sauces). Took a while to get our food from Grumpy aka Grunty. Grumpy had an AirPod in one ear. WTH! We ordered the Flaming Fajitas and it took a good 30 minutes. Finally, Miguel, brought our food and was very pleasant, an upgrade from Grunty Grump. Food was very good. A lot of flavor and sizable portion. The building started shaking and thought it must be the train on the other side of Hwy 10 but nope. No train in sight this time. Check took forever and we eventually went to the host stand to pay. Not once did anyone ask if weneeded anything. Definitely an up and down experience so this place will be at your own risk.

This place never disappoints. This is not what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant in a small town in the Midwest. They have molcajate, elote, horchata and much, much more! They have all of the regular Mexican fare with the addition of many seafood options. The onions and bell peppers are always cooked to perfection. Meat is always done well with tons of flavor- never dry. There is something for everyone here. One appetizer that our kids love (not seemingly very mexican) is the Isabella Fries- battered French fries with bacon (actual bacon, not bacon bits) and queso. Several nacho options, many different fajita options, vegetarian options, just too much to list.

A great restaurant for anyone who likes an authentic-looking Mexican restaurant, without the good food.We got a mixed appetizer plate and I swear each thing was worst than the last. The quesadilla tasted like it was made with American processed cheese, the guacamole looked store-bought, and the taquitos were an impressive mix of undercooked and burned.Anything with cheese in it tasted weird. In fact, the queso we ordered to go with our chips was the strangest mystery sauce I've ever seen. It had the consistency of milk, was tasteless, and looked gross.My fajitas plate and its sides came out at different times, long enough for my beans and rice to get cold. The one upside was the traditional margarita, which was passable.I can imagine that a lot of people will love this place. Maybe you will. I can't imagine many of those people being experienced with a range of Mexican restaurants. This was an expensive disappointment.

This place is kind of tucked away, but that should not deter you away. We were sat immediately and received our drinks in a timely manner. The food came out surprisingly fast. The free chips and salsa were handed to us as we sat down as well. Overall, quick and good food. Portions are also generous. Will be coming back again
