    Shrimp and Mushroom

    Been here a few times and the wait staff, the food and the atmosphere has always been great. We stopped by on Cinco de Mayo and it was pretty busy. We were seated rather quickly and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. A party beside us had the Guacamole Cart and the couple were nice and let our granddaughter watch them prepare it. Nice Mexican Restaurant!

    Quesadilla Birria

    The food is always consistently great, whether we get take out or dine in. We never have had to wait for a table, usually we are a party of 2-4 people. Staff is prompt about a minute or less at the host stand and they are ready with menus to bring you to a table. The staff works together to clean, serve and seat people. Table side guacamole is delicious and they can customize it how you like it, extra spicy or mild, with cilantro or without. You just let them know and they make it how you'd like it. So goooooddd!!! I like dishes with huevos. I love their refried beans, so much so, that if I order something that doesn't come with them, I ask for side, which usually comes with nice melted cheese on top. YUM! Our favorites are any style of quesadilla, chimichangas and the burrito Jalisco The chips and salsa are bottomless if you are having a meal for dine in. The margaritas are tasty.

    Look at the SIZE of the burritos!!! Table side fresh guacamole instantly transports you to warmer climates.

    My go-to when this Southern California girl needs a good Mexican food fix (which is weekly). The bar for me is whether they have proper shredded beef tacos deep-fried in the tortilla shell, which is HARD to find in New England. No El Paso ground beef crappy store-bought shells for me. The Tacos Dorado is the closest I've found in Maine. They throw the cheese in before they fry it, rather than topping it w/ shredded cheese but the flavor & texture of the taco makes it worth it. Fresh ingredients. Service is always super friendly. Great value. Many are native language speakers, so come w/ an open mind & belly ready to be full of deliciousness.

    Chicken fajitas with sides, "fresh guacamole", chips and salsa. All great flavors and plentiful.

    We have driven by this place so often but recently decided to check it out. We absolutely love Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. The service was great and the food was very good. We were seated and the waiter came over right away with chips and salsa, which were very tasty. I ordered the chicken fajitas which came with seasoned rice, smooth and delicious refried beans. The fajitas were excellent and had great flavor. The green peppers and onions had a slight char which really added to the overall flavor. The chicken was plentiful with white meat and was well seasoned. We also ordered the "fresh guacamole" which was made table side. Two whole avocados were added. We had so much food to take home that I had two more meals from it. The restaurant filled up with people as the evening was getting started. It is definitely worth your while if you want and crave Mexican food in the Brunswick area.

    As I've said in other reviews, I was born in and lived in Texas for 30 years, so I'm picky about Mexican food. This place was *packed* on a Friday night. The line was out the door, and we almost left. I'm glad we didn't. We were told 25 minute wait when we gave our name, but it ended up being literally 5 minutes. Nice seating and ambiance. Loud, but was crowded. Huge menu with a whole separate vegetarian section. Chips and salsa were better than most places. I ordered a jalapeño margarita. $12, I expected a normal size glass. It was HUGE. It looked like those 2 people sharing glasses. I also can't overstate that this thing is SPICY. It has jalapeño infused tequila. Now being from Texas, I have a strange pride with my spicy tolerance, and this was a challenge. Do not order this drink if you can't take very spicy. It was good and strong , but I'm not sure I'd do that again. I ordered the vegetarian combo which was a burrito, chalupa, and cheese enchilada. Generous portions and delicious. Even my husband who gives praise very sparsely said it was the best meal of our Maine trip. Came to $90 without tip for 4 people with non-water drinks (1 alcoholic.) Honestly the entree and drink prices were a bargain. Service was friendly, a little slow, but nothing crazy for as busy as they were. Highly recommend!

    Friendly and efficient wait staff but the food at lunch is straight out of a microwave. Dinner may be better?
