Really good food and the best salsa ever!!!!

Love the atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food!

Good food good drinks, excellent service.

We’ve been here a few times. The food is always good. We’ve had different things each time. Tonight I had shredded beef tacos with onions and cilantro, husband had the beef fajitas and mom had the fish tacos. Lots of food. We went early so the drinks were half priced. Mom and husband each had two margaritas. I had one sangria. Total bill was $70 before tip. Not bad. Service was good as well.

Was looking for a special Mexican Restaurant and found it this afternoon. The restaurant setting, food, margarita's, were all perfect!! Will be back for sure.

Great food and the staff is the best around!! The conquistador margaritas are the best!!

Had a great experience for my daughters birthday! Great wait staff - our waitress was off the chain and everyone else pitched in for the birthday pitch. Food as always, delicious! Fun time and a great day! Thank You!

the food is so fresh, delicious and plentiful, the staff and service are excellent...you will only be disappointed if you go elsewhere ?

Sometimes very good, sometimes I wish I had not chosen this restaurant. The last time I visited the chicken was unlike any other chicken I have ever eaten, the texture was kind of rubbery. Don't remember it being like that last time.

I had been hoping to experience this restaurant for over a year, since I moved to Sarasota. It's very close to where I live. It is beautifully landscaped and lit at night. Well tonight I finally went with my neighbor, and all I can say is yuck. Mediocre is too nice of a word to describe the entree I had. The combination of red and green enchilada and the spicy pork...wow doesn't that sound good....but it was bland and the texture of the ground beef was gross. It was like the meat had been pureed to almost a paste-like consistency. Is this what is done for people who don't have teeth? The pork was shredded but did not taste good. The entire entree was a complete fail. The tableside guacamole (which cost $13!) on the other hand was excellent...and it had better be for that price! Coffee was awful. Flan for dessert was excellent. The guacamole and flan and restaurant's appearance kept this from being a one star review, but will not return. The food is sitting heavy in my stomach, and not in a satisfying way. The bill of $40 plus dollars just for one person was a shock. Can't remember the last time I paid this much for a completely lousy meal! I literally have had better Mexican food at Taco Bell.
