Great local place to eat and great atmosphere. Specials are a must!

Had a delicious dinner at this fabulous Mexican restaurant. Carlos was probably best server we have ever had. We had shrimp tacos, chicken and ground beef enchiladas, cheese dip and guacamole.Really enjoyed our top shelf margarita served in an authentic Patron bottle.

Food is great and the service is friendly. Always enjoy this place when I'm home!

We were traveling through, staying at hotel next door and decided to walk over and give this restaurant a try. I’m so happy we did! The service is excellent, the food is excellent, the servings are huge! Great atmosphere, very clean. I ordered the Tifton Burrito, my husband had the enchiladas and chiles rellanos.

If you want some good food great service and a good time you got to try it out. But one thing about it you better bring your appetite plenty food great drinks. If you don't believe me try for yourself.

This restaurant has gone downhill since it first opened. The food was not great and I was served my food on a chipped plate. The beans tasted old and stale. The server did not make us feel like we were welcomed ! I do not recommend it at all!

The food was bad. Really bad. The waitress was bad. Really bad. She barely spoke English, and everything she told us was wrong. When it came time to pay, she took our credit card, placed it on the counter by the cash register, then walked away and left it there! If you’re considering dining here, don’t. There’s got to be much better restaurants here. We’re just passing through on our way elsewhere, so we’ll never find out.

Excellent shredded chicken quesadilla. I got this to go as the place was packed on a Friday at 6:00 pm. Price was good. Clearly a popular local place.

Service from Bo was great, margaritas were very good, atmosphere was traditional Tex-mex, and dining room featured some really good artwork on the walls and the chairs. The Mexican guacamole was as good or better from a spot in Mexico where we had just been on vacation. Large portions, good food, and good service. We will stop again when we come through here.

Fun place. Typical of many Mexican restaurants in the US, with brightly painted booths, loud Mexican music, etc. Service was good, somewhat surprisingly as they were busy and so many places are short staffed these post-pandemic days. Generously portioned food was very good. Total for two people, including tax and tip, was about $42 - not bad at all.
