It's a large open area that resembles a warehouse, with seating options, and a karaoke area, as well as a pool table. There is a full bar inside as well. Once seated I was given a menu the size of a dictionary. I'm glad they have lots of options, but after narrowing down what I may want, I still had 4 pages to sift through. The staff was... not unfriendly, but they didn't necessarily make you feel welcomed either. We ordered our drinks, which were very good. We ordered from the bar, and it seemed like it took a while for our drinks to come. Once we ordered the food, we waited an average amount of time for it to be served. I had no complaints with the wait time. My fajita plate was very good, albeit lacking some flavor. My companion's tacos were ok, but the meat felt dry, and it was bland. It seems that they may be focusing more on the party atmosphere, and bar at this location, than the quality of the food. There is another local restaurant that serves Mexican food as well, and I prefer the quality of their food. I'm not sure that I would return here expecting a delicious meal, perhaps just for some drinks and karaoke.

The only thing that I would say was decent was the pastor taco, the other two were simply just not good in my opinion. There are much better options nearby. The interior is not decorated very nicely as you would like to find in a Mexican restaurant so it definitely doesn't make up for the food. The service, however, was good.

What an incredible date night for two chickens…read more Me and my emo girlfriend who I'm not allowed to look at sometimes came in on a beautiful crispy Sunday night looking for some rice and beans and tequila. We were enthusiastically greeted and sat at a lovely pod like table with chairs that looked like benches and were also attached to the wall. They were really comfortable and I liked it better than a normal table. I think everytime I go into a restaurant I'm gonna ask for one and if I can't have it I'll speak to the manager or yell at a minor or something epic like that. We were given salsa and menus and left to our own devices which is never good. My gopher girl asked for the hot green salsa and decided to eat it!!!!!! It was Pwetty fweaking cwazy if you ask me. Good mouth feel though I liked the salsa and it was even better with chips believe it or not. We order quickly with our very attentive and attractive server and spot some opps from across the restaurant. Tis okay their pod-like table was across the restaurant and they couldn't see us. Me and bae just gabbed and she allowed me to look at her! This is what happens when you pay the bill ;) I got a burrito and enchilada and rice and beans. You guys the best meal in the world is rice and beans. All you need in this life is a spoon and rice and beans to be happy, successful, beautiful, and fearless. Swear. Very good times. Although I do not think I will be back in Lumberton I enjoyed my meal and my time. Infinite love

Both the service and the food bely the humble exterior and interior. The inside is Spartan with just a few tables, but the service couldn't be better. For lunch, I had Melecio's Quesadilla with Chorizo, served with rice & beans. My wife had Three Soft Shell Tacos with Steak and a side order of rice. Both meals were outstanding, and truly authentic. No fancy presentation here as the meals are served in "to-go" containers with a plastic spoon. When we were there, every table (all 5 of them!) were occupied entirely by locals, except for us. This is actually a 4-star place, but I'm giving it 5 stars because we both liked it so much! Location: 4 stars Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Value: 4 stars Ambiance/Décor: 3 stars
