DATE & TIME OF VISIT: July 15, 2025 @ 7:20pm. They were not too busy (there was no wait line and…read morea handful of tables of people). AMBIANCE & CLEANLINESS: Very authentic look and decor inside and out. Music was not blasting (which we appreciated!). Booths are a bit uncomfortable. Not a big place so if you go during busy times you will probably have a longer wait. Things appeared clean. HOSTESS & SERVER: The host was friendly and sat us right away. Our server was very nice, she explained anything we had questions on. And checked on us several times throughout our time there. I believe this is a family business that works here together. FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Chips & Salsa -- Taste: Delicious, crisp chips that are fresh and the salsa is perfect heat (not too spicy). Portion size: Great, you can have refills if needed. Price: $0 (complementary) #23 Enchiladas Jalisco -- Taste: This was the daily special, it was three cheese enchiladas topped with red sauce and shredded pork served with Mexican rice and refried beans and it was delicious. The enchiladas have great taste and the shredded pork is tender and perfect. The rice was balanced in flavors and the refried beans were some of the best we have had! True authentic Mexican food! Portion size: Normal compared to other similar restaurants of this style. Price: $10. and change (but this was the special, it is normally $11. and change). OVERALL THOUGHTS: Paid $40. and change (w/o tip included) which felt comparable to similar restaurants of this style (we drink water so no beverages just entrees). Server was very kind, service was fast. It's not a big place so it may be a wait if they are busy. Atmosphere is wonderful, music is at a good level that you can actually have a conversation. WOULD I RETURN? Yes, if we are in the area again. PLEASE NOTE: if you go to their website, the prices are NOT what is listed nor are the specials! The prices have increased by about an average of $3-4 (on each item). And the specials are not what are listed, I don't think they have updated their website in awhile.

This is definitely the best Mexican restaurant around. It is truly authentic and has a very large…read moremenu to choose from. I really like the nacho dips. Queso dip and bean dip are the best. My favorite orders are nachos suprema, steak a la mexicana and molcajetes. Quesadillas are very good as well. The salsa is not spicy by default but you can request spicy salsa if your able to handle it. They have delicious jarritos if you like great tasting pop, and sometimes horchatta upon request. Those are my favorites for drinks. The servers are super nice. They give great service. If you are visiting cedar point and love Mexican food, make sure you do not leave Sandusky without visiting this place.

I was especially impressed by the cheese and grilled chicken quesadilla on the children's menu. It was packed full and "actual" food. Great value. Food 5/5. Service, though, was lacking. I don't think this was a restaurant wide issue. Other servers appeared to be attentive to their tables. Ours never checked on us or offered drink refills/chip refills. Somewhat unfriendly. It was weird. Service 3/5.

I think there's one other place that's by wapakoneta that holds a candle to this place because they have this amazing white cheddar queso dipping sauce. but this place I mean you can't go wrong. I had this volcano with shrimps and chicken and steak. it was so good and there was so much food. pretty sure I was eating it for like the next week straight. obviously not the shrimp cuz that would be gross but otherwise super great and then my boyfriend had the the Iberia tacos. they're okay. everybody seemed to really like them there, but we're very particular about our quesadilla tacos. so I would say try the fajitas instead of the quesadilla tacos. the chips were warm. the queso was good. we will be back when we're in the hood.

Nope folks, that's not Mexican style. Nevermind that they wrapped them in paper so the tortillas got soggy. The service. Attentive and friendly enough. No complaints from me on that. The ambiance: It's cramped AF. You have to turn sideways to get through the restaurant. I was also seated in a corner booth that felt like I was in a box. They also charged me $5.99 for two tacos when the menu said $4.99. They also charge a 3% fee for using credit cards. All in all? No thanks. 2 Stars.

After visiting the area for many summers we finally tried this place on a Thursday night as their kitchen was open til a decent hour. We were immediately impressed with the complimentary chips and amazing salads trio that was both fresh and oh so good. I was not familiar with fried salmon( I always enjoy it grilled, broiled, or baked) so I tried the taco featuring three delicately fried pieces topped with pickled onions and a medley of fresh veggies. I swapped my mixed fries for the street corn which did not disappoint but after sampling my husband's mixed fries I realized I made the wrong choice as the mixed fries are out of this world. Similarly, the birria tacos are juicy perfection that I now see why are the popular choice on the menu. Get them. You won't regret it. A seasonal peach margarita also blew my doors off as it was made with fresh and real ingredients - no prep made syrups here. The beautifully preserved lime and peach and choice of rim only added to the wow factor. We left full, feeling pampered and impressed. Can't wait to return next time we're in the Lakeside vicinity!

Unfortunately, not the best experience. The menu looked really promising, but the service was…read moredisorganized and inattentive from the start. It took quite a while before anyone came over to take our drink order, and I eventually had to ask if we could put in our food order. Three of our four main dishes came out together, while the fourth person in our group was left sitting without her meal for another 10-15 minutes. Then, somehow, our appetizer--chips and dip--came out another 10 minutes after that, when most of us were already finished eating. To make things even more confusing, there were only two parties in the restaurant, yet several of our dishes were initially brought to the other table. Meanwhile, our drinks sat empty while three staff members were behind the bar talking, and no one seemed to notice or check in. The whole experience just felt very uncoordinated. Food coming out in the wrong order, meals going to the wrong table, long waits, and empty drinks would be frustrating in a packed restaurant, but it was especially surprising considering how few customers were there. The menu has a lot of potential, but unfortunately the service really took away from the experience.
