    Creamy spinach and shrimp dish
    Cam C.

    The food and service is excellent here! Stopped by a couple weeks ago and had some margaritas, steak fajitas and the creamy spinach and shrimp dish. Everything was on point and we will be back soon!

    The small rock from the Carne Asada...

    We ordered a Carne Asada to go and while eating it my wife almost broke her tooth on a small rock that was in the food. We called the restaurant and was only offered credit on our next order, we will NEVER be eating their food again. Disgusting...

    Stopped in for lunch during our last visit, it was excellent Mexican food. The place is well decorated with Mexican arts that makes you feel in that environment. The service and the food were amazing. Portions are huge and can be shared. Enjoy.

    Decent enough place for a pass through town on a road trip but wouldn't return here. They provide beans, salsa, and chips when you sit down. I couldn't get a straight answer on whether the beans had any meat in them (like pork). The bench seat had holes in the vinyl. Ordered the veg fajitas with no cheese or sour cream (I'm vegan) and there was cheese on the pico. The fajita vegetables weren't made sizzling with char like normal Mexican restaurants, they came out mushy and with an orange colored sauce all over them. Staff was nice enough but seemed definitely very busy. The black beans and rice were excellent.

    We went here for dinner last Saturday and it was very good. They start you off with chips, salsa, and bean dip and all were very good. We ordered the steak fajitas and the chile verde pork. The steak fajitas were very good but wish it had a more bell peppers since most of the veggies were only onions. The steak was tender and nicely seasoned. The chile verde pork was awesome and had great flavor. The rice, beans and tortillas were amazing. Also, they give you huge portions for a fair price. If you are in Twin give this place a try you won't be disappointed.

    Hit the spot while driving from Reno. Wonderful food and service. Truly a family run business, we would have taken pictures of the food but it was quickly devoured.

    Excellent food and service. Busy place looks to be getting a facelift. Hope this doesn't increase their very reasonable prices.

    Their Mexican Caesar salad with shrimp is very very good. I continue to go there for that. It is a good local Mexican restaurant.

    Food is excellent (try the Casuela or the Carne Adobada), portions are large, and prices are low.

    My family always enjoys coming to this location because of the friendly staff and authentic foods…read more The inside gives you a cultural feel. Servers are always great. They are super accommodating even to bigger groups with a call ahead.

    Soo disappointed. Been coming here for years and thought we'd take the Mothers out for Mother's…read moreDay. There were lots of wait staff and even empty tables and even with a reservation it took a half hour get our orders taken. We ordered a blended margarita which came out on ice. The waitress went to take it back and blend after it had been tasted rather than bring out a corrected one. We were warned that extra baskets of chips were now charged extra. All meat substitutions were also extra when it didn't used to be. We asked for crayons for the kids, and they handed us crayons with nothing to draw on. A half hour more and we still didn't get served. We asked to wrap it all up to go. After another ten minutes and no food we got up to leave. We stopped to pay for the drinks and they charged us for the chips and salsa, the Wrong margarita and anything else on the table. The manager tried to say the kitchen was backed up and that it's like this every Mother's Day. We've been there plenty of times on holidays and never had such poor service. Word to the wise, be prepared to pay now for any "extras" and set aside extra time to be served.
