    Small guacamole side - chunks of avocado are large!
    RL W.

    Very good food, service, and atmosphere. Guacamole is always fresh, serving sizes are large.

    Good drinks and salsa!
    Mark W.

    We stopped in here on our way back home one Sunday when nothing is open in these northern Indiana towns. Very impressive decor and service surprised us when we walked in. Not expecting something so "busy" and colorful, but this place fit the bill of offering us good food and straight up nice margarita's.

    Food was just okay. Margaritas were a bit too sweet. They charge extra for sauce. Chips were good.

I kept moving until I could sit without holding onto the table. The woman who waited on us was almost less than cordial...she was doing us a favor by waiting on us. I ordered a "Don Carlos Salad"..chicken, steak and shrimp..it was ok...the dressing was in a packet!! Husband ordered "Fajitas Jalisco"...he said that there was no taste to the meal. My husband NEVER leaves food...and he left a good amount. I had asked for a glass of pinot grigio that was on the menu. Our server brought 3 small plastic bottle of a very POOR wine...showing me what they had...she thought the Moscato may be it..I had water. If you have wine on your menu - at least have a decent house wine...and have what is listed! The entire experience was poor...and no one else was there...There is a reason for that. The salsa was also subpar. We are visitors and will be in the area again...but this place...we will never go to again...and hope others follow our lead. Ambiance...with poor food and poor attitudes of the server...I did not even notice. One last note..We were nothardly seated when asked what we wanted to drink and if we were ready to order...and had not looked at the menu.
