    Texas fajitas
    Amira I.

    While visiting Auburn, Alabama, we tried this restaurant for the first time. We were seated immediately for dinner, and the service was excellent! They are a busy restaurant, but they have many servers, which I appreciate. We began with their chips and salsa and then moved on to their guacamole dip, which comes with fresh avocados, tomatoes, and jalapeños. The guacamole was delicious. We also ordered their Patron margarita and another drink, the name of which I can't recall but it contains rum, tequila, and some other liquor. Both drinks were delicious. We chose their Texas Fajitas for dinner, and liked that they have this dinner for two option. You can never go wrong with fajitas for the most part, and their fajitas came with tender sliced beef, chicken, and shrimp with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. They come with a choice of flour or corn tortillas. The quantity was very generous, as shown by the photos below. The food is very flavorful and tasty. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the excellent service at this restaurant. I'm looking forward to returning to try more items on the menu. Take a look at the photos of the drinks and food.

    Not a bad place to visit for lunch, but I'm used to Tex-Mex, which has different interpretations across the country. Service was meh because of being understaffed due to a lack of workers, so a little patience is needed even during a weekday lunch. With the rise of CV-19 in Alabama, you may want to take your own precautions as I believe most of the staff was not wearing masks. But it was 2-3 weeks ago when I visited, things might have changed. Chips and salsa were good, I could bathe in the salsa. Didn't receive the queso we had ordered, but luckily we weren't charged for it. Margaritas weren't bad, not the best either. Skinny margarita was VERY sweet - tasted mostly of the mix and no tequila. No kick to the strawberry margarita. Had the mixed fajitas with shrimp for lunch. Had good flavor, but the additional cheese that was coated on top of the meat made it into a soup. And the additional guac, for a 1 oz portion, was not a good deal for the price. Next time I would avoid both.

    Flaming Fajitas and soft chicken tacos .

    This is my second time at this restaurant. I absolutely love the food . The waiter was so friendly . The flaming fajitas was so good I couldn't finish it all so I took it with me ended up making nacho fajitas for later . I will definitely be returning to try other dishes. Clean restaurant as well as clean bathrooms.

    This place is normally crowded but there was was not a large crowd due to the students are out of school. The drinks are made to order, I had a strawberry margarita frozen. Delicious! I love sweet drinks with a kick. I only had one drink but it was well worth it.

    Happy Hour everyday 4-7pm. Buy 1 margarita on the rocks, get the 2nd half off!
    Nicole W.

    This review is only about the drinks! Saw the sign outside saying "Happy Hour Daily 4-7pm" so we had to try it out. They had 22oz margaritas buy one, get one half off which is a steal. We also tried the piña colada and coronaRita, all delicious. They're not the strongest drinks, but they're huge so I'm not sure you'd want them to be extremely strong. The only food we had was the free chips and salsa. The salsa was kind of watery and didn't have much flavor.

    Order the iguana! You'll love it!

    Would be 5 stars if they had a drink inside of a pineapple. Queso fundito was fun. Salt was blue which is a plus. But still I would have loved a drink inside of a pineapple (like another Mexican restaurant down the road)

    Ate lunch with my boss today, got to work to open up my good from when we took our orders to go and found a bug cooked in my food. I ordered the Tex-Me. I will never eat there again. The manager argued that I left and could've opened my plate to allow a bug in however that was not true. My good had been but into a container and put into a bag at the restaurant.

    Shrimp cocktail, what's left of it!
    Steven R.

    Delicious food. Had the shrimp cocktail and the Tiger Burrito and the rest of the family ordered shrimp and steak quesadillas! Wonderful!

I ordered the house marg (always a good barometer of a place), and they brought out a nice chalice and some chips and salsa while I looked over the menu. Chips were warm, salsa was spicy and cool - perfect temperatures! The dining room is mostly multi-top tables scattered in rows. Families, couples, and other groups were scattered around. There was a sports team of 9-12 year-old boys and their families eating at one long double table which was a bit rowdy, but not overly so for that age. Didn't really bother me, but I have lived through that age, and had kids that I'd take out as well. I've been to louder fast food joints on a late Spring Saturday night. The bar service person was friendly and answered my questions about different food combos. I eventually selected the birria tacos, and they came out in maybe five minutes, hot, and accompanied by a nice bowl of soup/sauce for dipping. I dove in and forgot to take pictures, it was so good. If you've not had birria before, it's a meat cooked in broth. Then the meat is placed in a partially cooked tostada, folded and grilled. Think a taco with warm ingredients, instead for cold items put into a cooked shell. You dip them in the liquid the meat was cooked in, kinda like an au jus sandwich. It's great! Birria is originally from Jalisco, MX, (home of ranchero music and tequila, so they know something!) and was made from goat, because the Spanish gave the peasants goats. Stewing made the tough meat better. But now it's usually beef. I'd definitely return if I were back in the area. I was here to celebrate a family birthday. It was a nice way to end a tiring day.

The description read like a burrito supreme, but it was a gummy concoction of rice with very few beans and pieces of steak and a tiny little bit of cheese. I cut it open and just ate a little bit of steak. The guacamole and sour cream that came with it were in a thimble size containers. The guacamole was tasteless and so thin it was almost a soup, the sour cream was OK. The cheese dip was very thin and tasteless. The salsa was OK, but the chips were stale. I ordered a virgin margarita which also appeared to be watered down and I was charged $7.25 like it contained alcohol. I spent $40 and was so incredibly disappointed.

I looked at the receipt and sure enough, there was the car charge x'3 for two orders and I guess the third order was the chips and salsa that came with the meal.
