If I could not rate at all to leave a review, I would. Walked into the restaurant and there was a group of 4 in front of us. Hostess saw us, then the Hostess sat the first group…while she was away, a group of 4 came in and stood in front of the hostess stand. She asked them how many and seated them. No acknowledgement of our party. Waited in the waiting area for an additional 10 minutes and was not acknowledged by anyone. Walked toward the door to leave and hostess was at a table on the other side of the wall (we couldn’t see) folding napkins/silverware. Will not be returning. No wonder it was empty inside the restaurant.

Great service, friendly staff and delicious food. This one was our first time eating here. We loved the atmosphere here too. We love this place!

Absolutely the #1 best guacamole I've ever had; and I grew up on the Tex/Mex border. The servings are HUGE. We can make 6 meals from the 2 plates we ordered. I could make a meal alone of just the table side guacamole!

This place isn't the same ole Mexican food that every Mexican restaurant seems to have. It is very delicious and authentic based on only the couple of times I've been to Mexico.

Love the food Chips wore hot like the way i like them! !! 100% 5+*****

It wasn't dead and it wasn't overly busy.It was over 10 minutes before anyone noticed that I was waiting to be seated. It was over 30 minutes before someone took my food order- another 30 minutes for the food to come.Then, no one came to check in and see if my food was alright, if I'd like to have a refill, or you know- if I would like to pay my check and leave.I had to basically stand next to the table with my wallet out to get someone to make eye contact with me for long enough so that I could pay and leave.My food was cold and lackluster.I will not be going here again.

We were looking for Mexican in Niceville and though we passed another place on our way here, I am glad we went. The cheese dip, while I realize is a simple thing, was fantastic. Salsa is subtle but good. My stuffed poblanos were exactly what I was looking for. Generally speaking, service was a little slow but they were crowded! I would recommend this to folks for sure.

This the best Mexican Restaurant in Niceville ? I don’t remember the name of this dish… but the Half Pineapple is filled with shrimp, pineapple chunks, cheese and a delicious sauce! You won’t be disappointed.

The fajitas were ok. Their soda was gross and the salsa had a fishy taste to it. I really wanted to like this place.

Place was very clean, quiet and really good food. Waitress was very attentive to us and very kind. Good prices and portions are very abundant.
