The family and I just came from MyGym for a birthday party and we were hungry, so we stopped here before heading back home. The decor is so authentic, the people were so friendly, and they were bumping Tejano music like it was 1980! I felt like Selena Quintanilla was going to pop out on stage.I originally wanted tacos, but then I saw Menudo and Shrimp Tostadas on the menu! I was torn. I ended up getting Menudo because it was more unique and I could make tacos or tostadas any day. The Menudo was so tender and flavorful! It came with the herbs on the side for me to add to my liking. It was nostalgic because it made me think of the Mexican boy band. I felt old because I asked if my daughter knew Ricky Martin and she said no!Anyways we also got elotes (Tres Amigos) as a starter and it came with 3 full ears of corn. The queso and tajín combo I could have eaten by itself!We couldn’t forget dessert, so we got Tres Leches and ChocoFlan to go. There’s a display case if you can’t make up your mind and need a visual.

great food , nice atmosphere and excellent service

Best Mexican food in Brandon. Excellent service and food is really good. The salsa that comes with the chips is the best salsa I have had in my life. I always buy extra salsa to bring home. The chicken tortilla soup is to die for too, so good. Very nice atmosphere. One of my favorite places to have dinner at.

A family friendly restaurant. Me and my sister stopped in fir lunch.. The place was clean. Nice environment. The waitresses were friendly with fast service. I had the 3 taco entrée and it was delicious. The dish was seasoned well with good sized portions. I will definitely come back again.

Nice! Good food! Recommended ?

Amazing food, amazing people, and great times for all! Loving the new chairs. If you havent had them, a margarita and taco is a great way to start!

Absolutely delicious. Very moderately priced, and you can easily share the entrees or take home leftovers. Great margarita, salsa and avocado dip. Colorful restaurant and tonight, Saturday, they had a guitarist and singers. So glad our friends took us to this place as we will be back. Definitely a gem!

I ordered Birria Tacos, Chips & Guacamole, and the Tres Leches Cake. Everything was okay, but not as flavorful, when compared to my usual taco spot, Tacos Las Californias on Armenia.I received 3 decent sized tacos, filled with shredded beef, mozzarella, cilantro and onion. The consommé was a little greasy, but good. I was a little disappointed because they forgot the bacon in the guacamole (it’s supposed to come wrapped around sausage I believe). The Tres Leches cake was delicious, it had crushed pineapple, nuts & cherry on top.I’d like to give this place another try. Maybe I’ll try something else on their menu next time.

A great way to end the work week! Good food good service and great ambiance.My friend asked for the largest Margarita they had and my wife said the same... without hesitation the server came back with 2x 24oz Mango Margaritas. Be careful what you wish for lol.... I helped her drink it and it was great!I would've liked a little more flavor in each of the dishes but they were still good. Just my little constructive criticism.

Very good food,drink and great service!????
