A nice affordable restaurant conveniently located by several hotels and interstate 59. The food was cooked perfectly and seasoned just like we requested.

Great location. Always cleans. The staff is friendly and polite. The menu is extensive and full of authentic Mexican dishes. I had the steak fajita nachos and they were fantastic! Lots of tender steak, bell peppers and onions over tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese. Excellent choice. You can’t go wrong with anything you order off of the menu. You will never get cold food, it will be piping hot and fresh in less than ten minutes if the place isn’t packed out. Great service.

We were here a few days ago and Terrible experience — the manager treats the staff like garbage, and the girl with the long black ponytail and dark olive skin, gave the worst service I’ve ever had, barely checking on us once. The food was bland, the portions were small, and all the good specials are gone. I’m not coming back unless they bring back the old management, the original staff, and the quality they used to have.

Got take out from here. It was ready super fast. It was fresh and hot even after the ride home. Super great food with an even better price!! Will DEFINITELY eat here again. For sure been added to mine and my husband's favorite list.

Fantastic and authentic Mexican cuisine! What else can I say, takes me back to childhood in Brownsville, TX. Staff was also amazing! Helpful, happy, and definitely a nice change of pace to the staff at other restaurants in the state I've been eating the last couple weeks. Might go back tomorrow for dinner too.

Smoothest margarita I've had in a long time. Fajita quesadilla was great.

I absolutely love eating here. The place is great, the food is great, and the service is great!! I've been to soooo many Mexican restaurants in my life, but I really don't think I've been to one where the food is better.
