    Their not horsing around. Thick chips scoop smokey salsa, and sneakily fill patrons. The ambient sounds of Mexican music and equestrian furniture set the tone for an authentic meal. Our server is kind and attentive to our tables needs filling drinks as they quickly empty on a hot day.

    Chips and salsa yum!

    Fantastic salsa I got the Chile Verde with pork which was outstanding. I will be back.

    So much food for good price. Everything was really good and we had lots of leftovers. Service was good

    Great place for a solo lunch. This location is so unassuming and out of the way that I didn't really think to stop here until today but I'm happy that I did. If you're a chile verde fan like I am, I can wholeheartedly recommend theirs- so flavorful and significantly spicier than the usual, definitely not the dull canned stuff most places serve. The service was very fast and friendly enough, the place is clean with interesting carved tables and seating, and everything I tried was fresh and delicious. One small caveat- don't order the iced tea. Just trust me, it's no good. But from start to finish that's the only complaint I can make about my experience!

    Just as another previous review, was once a Pizza Hut. Just right! Mex Coke to start and chili relenos, rice and beans. Grilled chops onions and fresh jalapeños as side. And everything was real good. Not amazing but good. 5 Stars for being open and rolling!

    Watermelon margarita minus the jalapeno. On the rocks.

    A female minority family owned and run business. Has my support 100%. Comfortable atmosphere. Modern and inviting. Food: authentic and delicious. You can tell that they take their time and care about the quality of the food they serve. The service: amazing. All of the waitresses are so nice and helpful. If there is anything you have a question about on the menu, they will kindly answer it for you. They work hard and take pride in their service. It's small businesses like this that need our support right now. Eat here!!!

    Found on Yelp. Very clean, staff was very friendly and the food was outstanding. Will definitely return.

    Trying something new tonight! Pollo Fundido. Chkn with chorizo and queso.  Put into the tortillas that come with and get something different

    Love this place! Best authentic Mexican food in town with the nicest staff! Adorable decor!

    Service was quick and prompt. Loved the decor (carved horses in the booths and on the chairs) and the food was amazing!

    My new favorite Mexican spot. I love the green chili salsa. The charro beans are a great unique side that you don't see too often.

    The food was great although a little over priced. I would highly recommend the burritos.

    Walked in and were greeted right away by stagf with a great attitude. Seated us in a nice table…read moreand took our drink order. I had a Julian marg (Cadillac marg, different name) yummy. I ordered the carne asada. Had a small fopa on original plate but the staff made an amazing recovery. Needless it was amazing. I ate wayyyyy to much. Overall we parked right in front and the restaurant was warm, clean with a great Hispanic feel. Best mecixan we have had so far in lincoln.

    Parking is shared parking. We were early for Sunday lunch…read more There are a mixture of booths and tables and we were attended to by our server Julio. We were seated immediately. And tended to. We were served chips and salsa. Those were made in the restaurant. Piping hot and delicious salsa. I got a mangonada margarita and a malcojete seafood. Mixture of seafood ( shrimp octopus and scallops in a hot spicy sauce with mixed vegetables- cauliflower, brocoli pepper, onions and mushrooms). My hubby got a margarita that was similar to a cadillac margarita. And carne asada. It was very chill and family friendly ; when we were there, some college kids were there in a group and they basically placed tables together to form a row for them. Highlu adaptable. Our food came delicious and piping hot. I loved my order of malcojete seafood. Flavour was fantastic. Shrimp octopus and scallops were very nicely done- succulent and juicy. Considering we are in the midwest- the seafood they cooked was fantastic. I would urge them to cut the pieces of octopus just a little larger. The scallops were small but delicious. It was a fantastic meal and Julio's service was wonderful. Hubby's carne asada was a little dry initially but Julio took notice and had the kitchen serve up a better piece. Wonderful service recovery. We will be back. This is truly one of the best mexican places we have been to here in Lincoln.
