Somewhat late at night, driving through an unfamiliar area and getting hungry, we decided to check…read morethis out since it sounded somewhat promising. To be honest, it looked closed - all the windows are tinted, so we couldn't see inside, and the parking lot was empty. Maybe we pulled up later than they typically expect to have diners, b/c when we walked in (very nice inside, btw, great decoration and all), I noticed there had been a party in the next room that hadn't been cleaned up yet. They have a bar, but I was driving, and my friends w/ me don't drink, so we didn't do that - notable, though, b/c most Mexican restaurants I've been to don't serve alcohol. Food is really great value, and great portions. We each got pretty huge platters for very reasonable prices, and the quality was great. Service was on point as well; admittedly the guy seemed a bit surprised to see us, but once he got us set up, everything went smoothly - chips and salsa to start, great w/ refilling water, food came out pretty quickly (perhaps not challenging when we were the only people there!). Other than the one table not being picked up when we walked in, the entire place was clean, including the bathroom, and I would go back if in the area again!

Overall an amazing place to sit down and eat dinner at. The windows are tinted but the place stays…read moreopened until 10 on everyday except for sunday and they close down at 9 that night. When it comes to the food you definitely are getting what you're paying for because the portions are great! Normally always fast service and food always served hot fresh and quickly so you aren't waiting while hungry! Plenty of alcohol choices! They have a bar. Super cheap margaritas. Lime frozen or on the rocks 1.99 happy hour and flavored frozen or on the rocks 2.99 if i'm not mistaken but super cheap regardless! They also have variety of bottled beer and on draft they offer Michelob ultra, Corona Modelo, and Bud light. They can do pina coladas, liquid marijuanas, sex on the beach, dragon mojito, ect.

I had to go back.. OMG!! I gotta do another review for this place. The Fajitas Texanas was…read morefabulous. Today I had deep fried chicken chimichanga and tacos Al pastor!! I also asked for a hot salsa I heard about.. I'm saving the best for last on this on. The chimichanga was stuff with juicy shredded chicken. It was cooked to perfection. It was delicious plain, but when I dropped a little spicy salsa, and dabbed it in some sour cream and guacamole.... Lawd.... I'm not done. Even the chips and salsa are tasty!! The tacos Al pastor.. oh me oh my!! take special notice in the pic of the tacos.... Grilled pineapple. YES!!! Grilled pineapple. And just the right amount. They tacos were not sweet, but you get an occasional burst of juicy pineapple. It just goes perfect with the fresh onion and cilantro. I ate one with no salsa.. and one with their spicy salsa. It don't matter!!! Both were great. And that unexpected burst of pineapple just does something!! I live in TX, and this place is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to. I can't wait to try more on the menu! I will definitely post reviews for each time I eat there. The service was excellent, just as it was on my previous visit. The ambience. Well.. no one with food in front of them was talking. Too busy eating!!

We stopped here for dinner after an event in Maysville. The ambiance was typical small town Mexican…read morerestaurant, which I love, meaning good personal service and delicious food. The menu was loaded with choices, even meatless for Good Friday fasting. Our server was with us very quickly and took good care of us throughout our meals. I ordered the Seafood Chimmi and my wife ordered the Shrimp Quesadilla. My meal came with beans and salad, my wife's meal came with salad only. We both took home the leftovers. My beer, Pacifico draft, arrived in a frozen mug and the beer was exceptionally cold. I loved it. My wife had a lime Margarita on the rocks and she said it was very good. The chips were warm when they arrived and their salsa was excellent. I asked for an order of Jalapeños, the pickled kind from the can, and they showed up to the table pronto! We were really glad that we chose this restaurant for dinner with many other choices in this small town, and the prices were reasonable as well. Next time we find ourselves in this town we will likely choose this place if in the mood for Mexican food. Nice job to all the staff for a good experience here.
