DELICIOUS  STRAWBERRY  PANCAKES
Tj R.

EAT HERE! This was a happy accident after driving trying to eat breakfast in the area. Service is top notch! Clean wonderful ambiance. Warning: Addictive Fresh salsa. Yummy lunch specials. Picky tamale lover approved! Treat yourself to the Delicious strawberry pancakes too So happy we found this place while staying at Tablerock State Park.

The best Carne la mexicana with a strawberry margarita and the best service you could ask for

Amazing food and service, I travel for work, I'm from California and this is definitely some good food. You will not be disappointed.

We stopped here on a whim on our way to SDC. We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Excellent service, delicious food, and clean and modern atmosphere. The salsa was chunky and so flavorful. We will definitely return when we are in the area.

Ok, ok! I see you El Patio! Located in the heart of Hollister, in the same plaza as Country Mart, you will find this gem of a Mexican restaurant! The food was absolutely outstanding from the first chip to the last spec of rice! The salsa starts out with a very sweet taste and ends with a very small kick that fades very quickly. I had a menu item that came with steak, shrimp, chicken and bell peppers. The meat was tender and juicy with amazing flavor. The rice and beans didnt last long and the portion sizes were perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was enhanced with upbeat hispanic music just loud enough to hear, but not loud enough to drown out conversations. Our waiter was well versed and very helpful with the menu. He was quick to check on us enough, but not too much. He took really good care of us leaving us wanting to come back. The menu was very fun with a lot of colors, a well laid out item list, and a large quantity of options for the entire family. The place housed a large seating area and it had a decent amount of people. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for there next grea

I've had a lot of Mexican food this was bland and I don't even know what they had for enchilada sauce but there was no flavor. We had chicken enchiladas and cheese enchiladas. The salsa tasted weird. The rice was okay but the refried beans we're ot good. We we're very disappointed. The service was okay but they only had 2 waiters and they were busy. We won't be going back there. It's hard to find good Mexican food in the Midwest..

We had friends in town and had heard of this place. We will be regulars!!! The service was amazing, the food was outstanding. The carnitas were fantastic and mom said the chili rellenos great. You can tell they love and take pride in what they do. From the street you might expect how amazing it is inside. I was so clean and bright inside. We will go back soon.

Ozzy was the best waiter! The food was fantastic they were very friendly. Best Mexican food we have found in Branson MO ! I must for everyone. The drinks were fabulous, and the food was just amazing!

Dip trio! Queso, guacamole and a super yummy corn dip.

Food is delicious! Great service too! I tried the brunch menu and it didn't disappoint. Remodeled in the winter, it's modern and inviting. Definitely a good choice when in Branson!

Normally I would not go for a flaming margarita, that's just not my style. But my wife and I were…read morehaving a special and sadly rare night out as we have little ones. Our experience was top notch. The margarita was a bit expensive but absolutely worth it. Presentation was excellent and the drink was perfect. We had several tapas plates, they were all excellent. We had the patatas bravas, chicken and waffles (best I've ever had) and sliders. The sliders were a bit overcooked but this was not enough to put a damper on the meal. Thank you FM for a great night.

First of all our waiter took a long time to get to us and we were not given menus. The place was…read morenot that busy. But No worries at that time. We finally got our menus and decided to get a margarita. We just wanted regular margaritas--no flame necessary. He asked us what size. We thought okay we said medium. We noticed on the menu it said +13. But because there was no base price listed we assumed it was $13 each. Keep in mind we never said we wanted a flaming margarita. Our waiter never explained pricing. The margaritas came out flaming. We then thought I guess that's all they have. $13 was a bit pricy but we thought okay. But then we got the bill we found out they were $28 each!!!!!! WTF!!! My husband who never goes without tipping still tipped. I would not have. Thus for 2 margaritas--(one I could not even finish--we were never told how bit they were) and some chips and salsa costed us $82.08. So basically this joint stole from us. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!! IT'S REDICULOUS!!!!!!

10/10. Tl;dr. Excellent choice. You gotta try it…read more We're from San Antonio, so we're spoiled by options for great Mexican food. I was skeptical about a Mexican restaurant on the outskirts of Branson, Missouri, but we were pleased to find this hidden gem. If this restaurant was in San Antonio it would be on my short list of top choices, at least based on the one experience. We all agreed it exceded expectations and if we're ever back in Branson, we'll return. The parking lot was empty when we arrived, not a good sign, but it was 2:00pm on a weekday, in the off season (early May with temps in the upper 50's) so we decided to chance it. We walked in and were the only customers there. Everything only got better from there We received a healthy servings of chips with a small carafe of salsa, so no need to ask for refills. We ordered an appetizer of guacamole. It was on point. We repeatedly remarked how fresh and tasty everything was. My wife had a mango margarita. It came with plenty of mango flavor, including some fresh mango chunks. I had the ground beef chili relleno with a side order of cactus (nopales). I've had many disappointing chili rellenos, but this one was perfect. The ground beef was well seasoned and not to dry or too sloppy like you sometimes get. Is was very lightly breaded, so if you really like a lot of batter, that might be a negative for you. It was served "open-faced ", sliced open so the ground beef, topped with plenty of cheese, was on top of, not really stuffed inside the poblano chili, but it was awesome. The cactus strips had been stewed with onion, tomato and jalapeños, so it was almost like a spicy warm salsa, or if you've ever had spicy green beans cooked with tomato and jalapeño, it was kinda like that - really good. My wife had enchiladas with a side of fried ripe plantains (maduros) and our grown son had tacos. Again, everything was great. The server was attentive and food service was quick (to be fair, we were the only customers). This is a small place They have a patio but it was chilly so we sat inside. There were only 5-6 booths and 4-5 tables but the decor was nice. They played mostly mexican pop music ( incl. Selena - Bailey Este Cumbia) with some American pop - a nice mix. I almost never post to Yelp. I had to recover my password to post this, cuz its been years, but I didn't want to let this pass without giving these folks credit.

Marcus is a man of his craft, knowledgeable, concerned about our table and those around him. After we reserved a large table and had our reservation fall through they were nothing but kind. While we shut down our mishap we had the honor of trying a marg and some of their tapas. 100/10. My only regret is I did a live margarita instead of spicy chili mango as my marg base. Spicy chili mango is a house made creation - with the creator himself staffed the same night. If you are looking for an evening of family and sharing this place provides the atmosphere and backs it up with amazing food, drink, and service

Angus Wagyu Blend Surf & Turf Burger (w shrimp) was fantastic - I got grilled shrimp in every bite! Bacon Mac & Cheese Burger was OK, but had almost no bacon in it (misleading). The THC Shots were interesting, and tasty, but not worth $12. The Flaming Margaritas are very good, with a nice kick. Overall a fun date-night or lunch spot; recommended!
