    Nice sized restaurant with ample seating. Food was delicious. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in town in my opinion. Staff was very welcoming and attentive.

    Street tacos!

    Street tacos and margaritas, yay! Street tacos are SALTY! Weird. Margaritas come without salt, which is good for me, I hate salty margs, but always forget to ask. But... for people wanting an authentic experience, eh. This won't be it.

    Chicken parm? No, but probably closer to chicken parm than real Mexican food.

    Came in at 6:30pm, they close at 10. We are told they have a party of 30 and there's no tables other than high tops. Ok, no problem, but there are clearly tables open. Sit down, order drinks and we're told they are out of chips and salsa. Hmmmm.... The restaurant isn't even close to half full. Weird. Wait for our food and find out they also have no seasoned beef or chicken. They put unseasoned meats in the various dishes because they also ran out. Hmmmm.... Maybe let us know before we order. Tomato sauce instead of salsa on a few dishes. My sister told me they were better than Plaza Morena. I highly disagree. Who messed up and vastly underestimated the amount of food to the point you're out of most of your staple foods more than 3 hours before close? Why not just make more? I know where I won't be going next time.

    Carne asada street tacos, chicken street tacos, pineapple fajitas, chicken quesadilla and Modelo negra......

    Food was great as always. Being from Los Angeles the Mexican culture and food is all over the city, closest thing to home. Hands down best Mexican restaurant in Owatonna.

    Tropical fajitas

    Minnie served our large family of 7 today for lunch. We were just passing through on our way to the Mall of America. We got hungry on the road and saw this place on maps. The reviews were good but the parking lot was dead so we were a bit nervous. When we made it inside we were greeted and sat right away which is always nice. They were able to answer my questions about my gluten allergy quickly and were kind and understanding about it. The salsa was delicious a bit spicy but good. The chips were fresh. The fryer oil needs to be changed but they were good. Then our meals came and everyone stopped talking. That's how you know it's delicious! My sister and I had the tropical fajitas. We are from Phoenix and I've never had fajitas this good before. The pineapples just gave it that something extra that made it so dang good. My son had the Hawaiian fajitas he said they were amazing. My husband had the Texas fajitas which were also absolutely delicious. My nephew had the burrito deluxe and he ate every single bite. They even had two for one margarita that were so tasty! I wish we lived closer this would hands down be our go to weekly place. Thank you guys for the great experience! It was a delight

    I've eaten lunch here a few times and I'm impressed. I like to try new things, but it's hard for me to resist the choripollo. Even the smaller serving from the lunch menu is plenty of food. I particularly like that along with your chips they bring the usual red salsa and a dish of ranch. The ranch dressing is very mild. You can taste the buttermilk and a hint of cucumber. It's not the typical garbage ranch dressing used to mask bad food. The very large windows give it a nice open feel. The staff is very friendly. The prices are right in line with similar restaurants. It's located just off I-35 on the same frontage road as Cabelas. It's right by a Timberlodge Steakhouse and a Famous Dave's, but you'll like this place more.

    Spotless. Tasteful ambiance. Pride evident throughout. The food was excellent Tex-Mex, which I like.

    Ordered 2 large cheese dips. The worst I've ever had, it was like flavorless soup. Thin and tasteless.
