The food was nothing amazing going down. It was even worse coming back up. I ordered the chicken sancho lunch special and ended up getting extremely sick the last 24 hours. Never again…I will say, the staff is friendly and helpful. When someone at our table mentioned that the Coke tasted like Diet Coke, the waitress checked on the problem and realized the machine was messed up. She gave us as many bottles of original Coke as we requested.

I get the Tacos on Tuesdays for the deal. But unfortunately they don't always pick up the phone. So that ruins me trying to order take out for lunch. I've went in to place an order and told them about the phone and they just give you a blank stare.

We have ordered via Doordash. One of the item was Vegetable Entree: Cheese enchilada, Bean burrito and bean tostada. The tostada had meat. The food was for one of my vegetarian friend. She couldn't eat.

Good Mexican food in the Campustown area. The drinks are great too! The atmosphere is very vibrant and the servers are extremely friendly. Highly recommend and will definitely be a regular here!

Delicious food! The queso and carnitas were highlights for my group. We’ll definitely be back again!

We waited 20 minutes to be talked to, 40 to get salsa and it’s been an hour and we still haven’t gotten our food.Waiters were walking around drinking, talking and on their phones as we waited.

Standard Mexican restaurant, pretty much the same quality food you'd find at most other sit down Mexican places you've ever been to. However, they run great specials every day which really give you great bang for your buck.Seems to be a bit of a hidden spot, when I went in at 150pm on a Friday, I was the only customer, which initially gave me some apprehension as to what the food quality would be - however it was just as good as I had hoped.

La atención los precios todo

They have my favorite rice and beans in Ames. My friends also love going regularly. Large margarita options.
