With it being Christmas time their decorations were great too, very pretty. One of the only mexican spots open later than 8 in Clermont and we were in the mood for nachos, so this is the place we went. My boyfriend is usually a big eater but it was enough food for the both of us this time. We tore the salsa up, it was on point. Then the nachos were good and big enough for the both of us, we almost didn't even finish them. Our service wasn't the best but it never really is there they just aren't very attentive when it comes to the servers. If the service was better/great I would probably give them 5 stars because we do love their food, thsts the only reason we come back to be honest.

I generally leave pretty positive reviews but this was a less than average experience. My husband…read moreand I came here for an early dinner because the reviews looked really great. We made a reservation and there weren't many people dining yet so we figured the service would be faster but it was pretty slow to order, receive (not hot) food and to get the check. Our waitress had a bad attitude, couldn't be bothered to smile, which is really what brought the whole experience down. The $14 margaritas were the size of a small glass of water, very overpriced. The pros; large menu to choose from and even though the food and drinks weren't great, it was very lovely presented. Pleasant outdoor back seating a block from the water. At the end of dinner someone yelled something and about five servers ran to the back of a truck to grab bags of ice. I didn't make any comments until my husband laughed and apologized for a bad evening out on the way back to the car.

Even the bathrooms were spotless. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food though is the star. The seasonings and flavors are not like other Mexican places. The quality of the meats is excellent. I had a steak/chorizo quesadilla and the steak was very tender. The chimichanga was lightly fried in a pastry like shell...perfect! And The margaritas are actually made with good tequila and are always 2x1. (Side note. Menu says $7.99 but they are actually $9.99. Owner says uses a better tequila. Still a good deal) Can't wait to return!

The side of guacamole was a good choice and larger than I expected. And the meal also came with chips and salsa. Overall, pretty good sized meal that did not disappoint. 8/10 would recommend!

From the homemade "smoky verde salsa" of the chips, to the fluffy tortillas that are wrapped around my Ceviche Burrito con Pollo or companion's barría tacos. The rice was in the burrito and it was fresh and fluffy as well. The pollo was cubed perfectly and did not overwhelm the burrito. The cheese sauce was light and flavorful. This was as 'authentic' and scratch made as any restaurant food, of any style, I have ever eaten. Do not walk, but run! We came from Tampa and this was a random find (on Yelp, of course!) that we will be returning whenever we are in this area. Gracias por ¡Una comida excelente y un servicio amable y cortés durante nuestra visita! I will give it only my third A+ rating!!

On my first trip here we opted to go with their taco's and chips and Salsa for lunch hoping to get…read moresome authentic Mexican style street taco's. We ended up ordering an Asada (steak), shredded beef and El Pastor (Marinated pork) taco's that were definitely authentic Mexican street taco's that reminded me of the taco's I get on my annual trips to Mexico. All the the taco's were well made with fresh ingredients (corn tortilla's, choice of meat, sautéed onions, cilantro) and most importantly were quite tasty. prices were very reasonable ranging from $3 for the El Pastor to $4 for the steak. Relative to the chips and Salsa they were OK but I definitely have had better at the Mexican restaurants I frequent. The restaurant itself is a bit deceiving where it has a rustic appearance on the outside where the inside is much nicer with a bright clean interior and a bar that makes assorted cocktails. The Axiom of not judging a book by its cover applies here. Relative to the menu it is definitely on the unique side as it serves both Mexican and Peruvian food where the Peruvian food entrees sound/looks very enticing as it is something I have never tried before. Relative to staff they are very friendly, with good service where language might a bit of a problem where the waitress I had seemed to struggle a bit with English. But hey, that's how you know the food is authentic right (: Overall a very nice restaurant that I plan on returning to where the next time I will be sampling some of their Peruvian dishes! If your in the area and are a fan of good Latin style cuisine you should definitely check this place out.
