    Texas fajita supposed to be without sour cream
    Beth W.

    Second time dining here. And it is my last time. I ordered the Texas fajitas which is chicken steak and shrimp fajitas. The menu says it's $13.99 I also added a shredded chicken soft taco with only lettuce which the menu price says it's $1.99. My total was over $22.XX That's doesn't add up. I questioned the total. Should have asked for a receipt. He most certainly overcharged me. It gets better. I went back to the restaurant the next day and showed the manager my yellow ticket from where they wrote my order down and he rang in my order and told me my total was $21.64. I probably would have let it go, but I just happen to see on my Bank charge that they had charged me $23.64. You got to watch these people. He told me my total was 22 and some change but then rang in 23 and some change. That's Sticky Fingers in my opinion. I will not go back there. I also ordered no sour cream. I asked two times to make sure it didn't have sour cream. But whatever. The man that helped me had spiked hair and gauges in his ear. For $23.64, I could have gone twice to get a juicy steak elsewhere.

    Mango margarita
    Sara A.

    Word on the street is true! This Mexican restaurant, located in small town Lapel, is tasty! First off the mango margarita I had is the best mango flavor I have ever tasted! It truly tasted like mango which is something I've had trouble finding. That alone would keep me coming back! I ordered the shrimp street tacos which comes with Mexican rice and refried beans. The street taco orders come with three tacos. The flavor of the shrimp and tacos are amazing! The shrimp kind of has a hibachi flavor to it. I am hooked! The Mexican rise was pretty standard and good. The refried beans had a smoky flavor to them which I wasn't crazy about but they are nice and creamy. So from start to finish the food was wonderful and service was efficient. Staff is taking all appropriate measures for COVID-19. I will definitely be back!

    Honestly messes up my take out order almost everytime, have had to go back in for simples things I paid extra for like limes, cheese etc. I ordered extra tortillas to go because the ones on my tacos are always soggy and they forgot them so I went back in for more and they charged me around 6 dollars for them. Super frustrated everytime I order food but being the only Mexican place in the town I venture back just to hope they are better and out of the multiple times ordering the same thing they have only made it good twice. There's way more things I can add just horrible service and todays my last day going there tired of spending 40 plus dollars just to get bad food. I had to airfry my tacos because how soggy they was just

    Gringo!  Found a new best Mexican restaurant in little ole Lapel, IN!

    Awesome food. Love the outside patio and their food/drink specials and service are great. Taco Tuesday is worth it.

    We always take my mom out for lunch/dinner every Saturday so we opted to try this place not far…read morefrom her house. It's got some interesting decor inside but it was nice. It was way too cold in there today. The wall thermostat said 75 but that couldn't be accurate. Service was fast. Mom got the shrimp fajitas and loved them. We got a beef chimichanga and cheesy chicken breast. That chicken breast swimming in a piping hot skillet of queso was phenomenal! They served everything with black beans and rice along with guacamole and sour cream. We spoke to the server later and he said they do have the refried beans on request. I love all beans but I will likely ask for the refried next time. They margaritas were well worth the money. If you want a stiff drink that's the one to order. I am not a big salsa person but even I could tell theirs was on the watery side. No big deal to us but a lot of people love salsa and I don't think this one will win any awards. I got a Coke to drink and it was terrible. This seems to be common place anymore as Coke and Pepsi don't go out and service the machines like they used to. So I am not sure who to fault for that. This place is heavy on breakfast so if you're looking for that then they got it. They also have lunch specials every day 11-3 we went for the all in dinner menu. We will definitely be back!

    I absolutely love this place, their food, their staff and their drinks are great. I've been a…read moreregular for a few years now and they are consistent. My favorite is their birria quesadilla and chimichangas with the lime cabbage.
