    Yummy yummy food!!

    SO GOOD!! Real authentic Mexican food, very friendly staff, and AMAZING flavor and prices. Our favorite place to go :)

    Enchiladas - one chicken, beef, and cheese with red, quest, and green sauce.

    The food was quick, very tasty, and reasonably priced. I have ate a lot of Tex-Mex over forty years and this was very good.

    3.5 This is our favorite Mexican restaurant we have found at the lake so far. Chips, salsa and cheese dip are great. I had the house margarita and it wasn't my favorite. I might try one with better tequila next time. I had the quesadilla rellana with chicken and it was delicious. My husband had the carne asada tacos. I think we both liked the chicken better. They are clearly understaffed, but they were friendly and everyone was hustling.

    Amazing wait staff! We dined here for the first time on Cinco De Mayo! Even though they were packed and on a wait they got all of our orders right the first time. Our server was very friendly and accommodating to our party of 5! Food was fresh, hot and cheap for the portion sizes. The chips were super thin and crispy....I could've kept eating them. Will be back again!

    tiny portion of dry tasteless rice for $4

    Eh.. Used to be quite good. Prices nearly double here what they were 3 years ago. Thh pollo (chicken soup excellent). Was 7.95. now $13.99. Pretty hefty increase for Zarkian fare. Ambiance is zero tho. Ordered side of rice to go $4. you get 2 cents of tiny portion of tasteless rice. Like to see some improvement. Nice thing is they forced Tres Hombres to clean up and improve their quality which hit rock bottom 6 years ago and graduslly much better. I wish them no ill will. Just encourage them if going to double their price, pick up their game.

    $5.99 Sunday math specials.

    A Sunday afternoon and the place was packed with people trying to get a good meal before they head back to Kansas City/St. Louis. Only one server, but the service was outstanding. Food was great and margaritas were exceptional. Prices for a Sunday, exceptional as well.

    Great food and service! The Margarita was spot on. Chips are thin and crispy. Salsa isn't too spicy. Will be back!

    Why haven't I tried this place before? Well now I know that it's delicious and a first rate choice…read morefor Mexican food in Camdenton. The restaurant space is clean and would be good for large groups. Grab a margarita and enjoy the large deck. Set off from the road and surrounded by pines you can enjoy the outside space without all the commotion of the city. Our service was fast and friendly. Our food came very quickly, watch out for the plates, hot, hot, hot. I ordered the combination plate: pork tamale, chicken enchilada and beans and rice. Very tasty. The tamale was ridiculous. The portions were more than generous. My son ordered the Burrito Ixtapia. It was giant and he said it was delicious. You won't need to take out a second mortgage to eat here. I was pleasantly surprised to not pay Lake prices. It's a little off the beaten path, and well worth the trip!

    Loved this place! Went with my daughter and grand boy and had really excellent food. Service was…read morefriendly and helpful. Mom and I had a pitcher of margaritas (that we mostly took home)((best thing to come out of Covid)) and enjoyed every drop. I had a chili relleno ($4) and a grilled fish taco ($4) which were really good. Lauren had the quesadilla burisco (?) that she loved. Little man had a cheese quesadilla and rice with cheese and said it was the best ever.
