Salutables grilled chicken corn tortilla tacos. Lower carb, lower calorie tacos.
Jackson S.

While traveling for work, I needed to find someplace convenient to the hotel that offered healthful choices. The corn tortilla chicken tacos and Mexican salad were a good fit for a region of the country that is known for fried foods and "stick to your guts" food. The chicken was a bit dry.

Thanks for bringing a Mexican restaurant back to this location!! And not just a Mexican restaurant but a delicious tasting Mexican restaurant--our entire family would go to this location over 30 years ago when it was El Chico's- it was easily our favorite restaurant. So happy to see it open again with such great service and delicious food. I love the chips because they were not too thick they were thin and homemade they came out often and warm. The salsa is perfectly seasoned. The fajita chimichanga was perfect! - - Great friendly service ! beautiful interior! Definitely will be back often and soon.

This is a new location. There is another location on Airport, and another in Fairhope. You can't go wrong here. I really love their molé chicken, and quesadilla dinners, but I've never had a bad meal here. Service is solid and consistent.

Ended up here for no other reason than it was next to the hotel. Made it in time for $5.00 margaritas, which weren't bad. I ordered the classic burrito, rice, and beans, all of which were tasty. Good service and reasonably priced. Dinner & drinks $22.00

Just had dinner there minutes ago. I sat at the bar. Instead of getting chicken tacos I got beef. I didn't have to say anything about this the discount was automatic. The chips and salsa are super good. The beans are nicely seasoned. I don't like the soggy hard shell but would order again, all the flavor hides there. If staying at a hotel in the area, like me or live here give the place a try. Very good! I would eat here again.

Second time here..this time by myself. I got the shredded beef chimichanga. Shredded beef wasn't listed but I asked and the kitchen made it happen. The beef was seasoned well and tender. My only con is that is wasn't deep fried and I LOVE a crispy shredded beef chimi and it had cheese sauce not red. HELLO!! Service is spot on and the margaritas are excellent. Just good comfort food at a great price. Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Not great. The meals all tasted like hastily microwaved mediocrity.

Waited 30 minutes and still no service. Ask for manager and he didn't care. We left because this place didn't deserve my money. Terrible

Nice surprise. Went for lunch from NOLA on way to OBA: Highly recommend-…read more Had lunch Chicken Quesadilla - terrific Wife had much steak fajita - real pleased. Wish was closer to home. Will recommend to friends and family if ever in this area.

First off, I absolutely love their salsa, queso, and chips. They are some of the best in the…read morebusiness and they are just absolutely addictive. The chips are served nice and warm and have a light crunch to them, not overly heavy. Their salsa is just addictive and when you pair it with their queso, it's ridiculous. I ordered the chicken supreme dish I think is what it was called. Chicken breast flattened and nicely grilled, topped with mushrooms and onions and cheese. Serve with rice and beans, I couldn't finish at all, but I surely wanted to. The service was very friendly and attentive, mostly comfortable atmosphere. Loud patrons, a couple boot away, put a damp around things, but that's not really the fault of the restaurant, just inconsiderate, loud patrons. The only issue I have, is when we walked in the place just kind of smelled funky. They had a couple of candles lit, I think to mask the odor. And I really can't say what it was, but it was across between maybe garbage and trash smell. Aside from the unpleasant smell when you walk in, the food and service was on point. I would absolutely come back here for takeout.
