The service was great, food delicious, we ordered off the lunch menu, this about 3 p m, at 8:07 p m we are still full.
The food is always delicious, the service is great, their margaritas (traditional and strawberry) and their sangria are to die for, and the atmosphere is relaxing, but also family friendly. Been going there with family since I was a child, and recently started frequenting the place for friendly lunches, as well as to-go orders for home dinners with the family. There is always a professional and amiable manager available and walking around, ensuring the guests are enjoying themselves and satisfied.
A friend of mine suggested the place. It was four of us. As soon as we walked through the door the aroma was mouthwatering. I ordered the seafood sampler. And it was so much food. Everyone ordered something different. So after we were done I asked how did they rate the food everyone said a 10. And I agreed. The service was good as well and the waitress was pregnant. So we all said we will be back.
Great service delicious food!!
The food is tasty and the portions are a good size. The service is lackluster at best, sadly it made the experience not as enjoyable. I’d give it another chance with a different server. Hopefully was just a fluke.
The food is nowhere near to true hispanic cuisine. I visited a bar that had amazing Hispanic food here. This place is horrible. My "carnitas" were not that; the pork was very dried out. The outside did not have noticeable sear or crisy skin that proper carnitas would have. The dish looked like it had been microwaved (I'm very certain it was). The rice seemed microwaved as well. Basically everything was cooked long long ago and microwaved to order. If you know your Mexican food and love it, do not come here. You will be gravely disappointed.
The food was excellent. Although the reviews were up and down, our local friend insisted the food was delicious and he was right. We ordered a No 4 lunch special that had a pork tamale, beef enchilada, beef taco, rice and beans. They brought out chips with bean dip and some salsa while waiting for the food, which many restaurants now charge for. The bean dip and refried beans were quite flavorful (maybe the same). While I love bean dip, even my husband said that the bean dip was excellent. The salsa was good, but could have used a little more hot spice for me. The pork tamale was the absolute best I have had in a long time. The beef enchilada was filled with savory shredded beef and quite a bit of it, more than most restaurants give. The beef taco was good, but could have used some salsa. Luckily, we had salsa from the chips we put on it, which made it excellent. The rice was normal Mexican rice. Overall, it was a huge lunch serving that we split and both of us were stuffed full. Our friend ordered a No 11 with chile rellenos and other stuff. His meal was huge and he savored every bite. We used to come here 30 years ago for Happy Hour and the food is just as delicious as it was then. Actually, our waiter/bartender, David, said he started out at this restaurant 30 years ago and recited the Happy Hour free food menu from 30 years ago. David was very friendly, personable, and gave us excellent service. We'll definitely return next time we are in town. Although you can't tell from the outside, it's a nice restaurant with great food and great service, which is why they have been around at least 30 years that I know of and probably quite a bit longer.

The food is honestly not good to me at all. I’m so use to eating authentic Mexican food tacos con cilantro onions corn tortilla y limón. It’s disgusting period…I’m not an Americanized Mexican food fan…but I tried it and never again..
It was very good. The chips were thin, fresh, and crispy. They have very good home made tamales. We liked it all. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is we have favorites in Texas, but it is better than any other I've had in the Nee Orleans area.
