    Chimichanga - Chicken with toppings on the side.
    Jewel E.

    Went with a friend on Wednesday lunch. We were greeted promptly and seated right away. It's a typical Mexican decor bright colors. We were brought a basket of chips and salsa first. Jose was our server, he was very attentive and did an excellent job. We both ordered the chimichanga lunch portion. It came with a Mexican rice and a choice of refried beans or black beans. The chimichangas are just the meat of your choice and cheese. I really appreciate the fact that there were no fillers like rice or beans in them. Overall it was a very enjoyable meal. Just good food reasonably priced.

    Several friends and I visited this restaurant the final day of January and we had the best time! Sam, the manager and Tanya, our bartender were absolutely amazing! The drinks were delicious AND beautifully made. I had Sangria, a couple of others had Mango Margaritas. All delicious. Chips were served along with a special queso as well as salsa. Food was generous and beautifully presented. I had a mucho fiesta combo Enchiladas and a Tamale along with rice and black beans. Another friend ordered the Shrimp Ceviche and the presentation was stunning! She is a lover of Ceviche and gave it double thumbs up. This place was fun, with excellent service and they were busy! We are all in the restaurant hospitality business ourselves and we will absolutely get together there again. Hopefully soon, because after writing this, I am thinking about that wonderful queso and Sangria again. Highly recommend this delightful restaurant.

    This is a hidden gem in sleepy little Rockledge, Florida. I have driven by it so many times, and I'm glad I finally stopped by for an early dinner. It was a Friday night, so by the time we left, it was filling up. However, service was still good considering how many customers started flowing in. There were 4 of us, each ordering one of the combination dinners where you can order 1 item (taco, enchilada, chimichanga, burrito, or tamale). 2 of us got the chimichanga, one the taco, and one the enchilada. All of it was excellent. You can either get black beads or refried. I got the black beans, and they were the only thing on my plate that I wasn't thrilled with. They weren't back, just not as delicious as the rice (which was outstanding) and beef taco I ordered. I love how they put the salsa in a little decanter and give each person his/her own little bowl so there's no double dipping. The chips and salsa were delicious, and we received generous amounts of them. I plan to visit again when I'm in the area.

    This is a gem in the little town of Rockledge! Friendly and welcoming, I enjoy the Mexican tacos so much!!!

    The chips and salsa that we got when we sat down were very good....Nice touch having individual dishes for each diner to serve themselves. As I was told the best queso in Brevard.....well it was flavorful, even a little hint of heat, but the execution in a large flat dish (see picture) made for difficulty scooping or as I like to do...immerse and let the excess drip off then eat...I know why be so particular right? It is my queso and I will eat it as I like. Well, the dish also gave plenty of surface area for the dip to cool. So while there was little heat in the taste there was not much in the actual dip....tepid almost. We ended up not fighting it and mixed it with salsa and that was tasty. Vanessa was on it and very nice. Gave menu hints and told us her favorites....and not the most expensive items either so she either failed up-sell school or is just plain honest....I assume the latter. The timing of the food coming out was a little off with my wife's very large chicken chimichanga coming out with my fajita fixings....a full five minutes until the actual steak and chicken arrived sizzling hot. This is where we got a little disappointed and thus the three stars. Her chicken in her chimichanga was bland...the whole thing was not seasoned. The tomatillo sauce was good as was the cotija cheese on top. But the insides left her and I short for good flavor. She used the pretty good selection of hot sauces to doctor it up and all was not lost. My fajitas were well seasoned, flavorful, and hot. The flour tortillas were perfectly warmed....not dried out like you sometimes get. The fixings were fresh although the guacamole was really green like abnormally green for guac. The beans were also pretty good and I liked the fact they offered black beans instead of refried if I had wanted. I chose the refried. The sweet tea was good and I would avoid the water....it is obviously not filtered. A good meal but not better than some of the others in the county. Worth another try on Taco Tuesday where apparently the prices are great. We will be back. PRO TIP: Veterans they offer a military discount of 10%. Thank you La Marimba Cocina Mexicana

I came here for lunch with my brother and parents while on vacation and was pleasantly impressed from the start. Our waiter, Jesus, stopped by quickly with warm chips and salsa and was attentive throughout the meal, keeping chips refilled and waters topped off without us needing to ask. The food arrived incredibly fast. We ordered the Burrito Deluxe, Hawaiian Fajitas, Chicken Fajitas, Avocado Salad with chicken, and a beef quesadilla. Everything was excellent, with generous portions. Burritos and quesadillas were filled simply with plenty of meat and cheese, while rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, and tomato were served on the side. The fajitas followed a similar setup, with meat and veggies on a hot plate and tortillas and sides served separately. Even coming from a "clean plate club" family, we still needed three takeout containers to clear the table. Those who are spice-averse will be happy to know the house salsa is mild and was enjoyed by everyone in our group. One thing to note: the Hawaiian Fajitas include shrimp, which is not listed on the menu. This was disappointing for me due to my allergy, but a delight for my parents, who happily raced to pick the shrimp out of the dish. After striking out at several nearby restaurants, we were glad to find this spot and will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

But grease is fat and fat is flavor. Burrito deluxe was also out quickly and a large portion. All good with it. The lunch specials seem to be the same as dinner. Good portions and huge flavors. Down from five stars since the servers seemed a bit absent today. Protip: 2 prices cash or credit.

I took that flat coke inside to the bar and they offered me a sprite. I said if your machine is out of CO2 then it isn't going to make a difference. She said they could just do a sprite so I accepted a flat sprite...lol. Do people not know what makes the fizz in their drinks? My fabric napkin was also damp, like it got washed and didn't dry all the way. When I asked for a new one, no one ever brought it so I stole one from another table. We ordered a dessert and it came out twice. My friend had an alcoholic drink which she said had too many flavors going on and tasted bad. Her next drink she liked. All the waitstaff seemed flustered. I bet this place could be good but it was not their night when my friends and I came.

Simply can't wait to return. The long version says the following: The location is easy to get too, and the inside of the restaurant is visually appealing. Though I do lean towards the beachy, tropical theme of things, this place does it without being kitschy or tacky. Though I expected the inside to have been wholly remodeled since the last restaurant that was a tenant here - it really had not. Instead, they updated the seating, bar, and outside to their taste - which is good, IMHO. I really liked the use of tablets for their menus. This was novel to me as I had never experienced it until I came here. The tablets worked well and even so, you got a feel for how extensive their menu truly is. Food-wise, there were no complaints around the table. I had their pork bowl which not only comes out hot and fresh, but copious - I just couldn't finish it - they piled on the food with what appeared to be wild abandon. My wife had their fajita plate which was massive. That definitely ended up going home with us. Desserts were their flan which had a flavor I had not expected, maybe not to true style, but definitely rich and delicious. No complaints here. Service was not only friendly but patient with us as we had plenty of questions for being our first time here, but it wasn't as attentive as I would have like. I think the waiter was overstretched in tables, but he still did an overall great job with us. In short, the newest Mexican restaurant in the area represents very well, and we are looking forward to our next trip back, hopefully very soon...
