    This is the best Mexican in the area!
    Pamela W.

    This is the best Mexican in the area. We are moving so tonight was our last time. Incredibly delicious as always! The service is great, the music isn't too loud, and the food has been great every time we've been here. They never miss a beat.

    @rioazulmemphis I prefer the enchiladas with rice and a chicken taco. It's always delicious. Great service great family owned business. The chips and salsa are always great as well. @yelpmemphis

    literally before you think i forgot something, ASK THEM HOW MUCH A CHICKEN, CHEESE AND RICE IS WITH PICO VS WITHOUT. this is PROOF.

    I have been patroning this restaurant for almost 5-6 years, and today marks the end!!!! I used to regularly get a to-go order of chicken, cheese, and rice with bell peppers; literally only thing i eat there. Now, I used to think they were constantly upping the prices while I was away at college, so I never said anything--just was curious as to why i'd sometimes need 14 to get my meal and other times 15.... But I recently moved back to the area, and started to add a side of pico de gallo to hopefully cut the occasional saltiness of the dish in recent months, and I noticed everytime I order, depending on WHO takes my order they charge me differently!!!!!! I brought this up to them a few weeks ago, and they dismissed because I had forgot ONE time to add bell peppers. Well TODAY I HAD RECEIPTS!!!!!!!! I showed them how one charges me 16.39 for the dish and the other charges 16.61. While i know it's just a few cents, with how my family and I frequent--it adds up and they've definitely been doing this FOR YEARS TODAY I JUST HAD PROOF. Well, I brought it up again and what did they do??? Dismissed me, act like they were annoyed, and didn't even apologize. Extremely rude, unprofessional that they can't keep up with their prices, and even worse that they clearly don't listen to their loyal customers. Will NEVER come again. Attached is PROOF. don't become a regular because they will cheat you! WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH IVE OVERSPENT DUE TO THE WORKERS NOT AGREEING ON PRICES?!

    The fried tacos are G-RRREAT in a Tony the Tiger voice.

    I've heard a lot about this place and couldn't wait to try them out. They always have a crowd, so…read morewe decided to go for lunch to avoid the nighttime crowd. We went during lunch time, so there were still quite a few people there. However, we were seated pretty quickly. We immediately received salsa and chips. I ordered queso and it was good and cheesy (I have to emphasize that because I've been to several places and had watered down cheese). Next, we ordered lunch. I tried the fully loaded baked potato. It was good and filled with plenty of vegetables, meat, and cheese. The potato was very fresh. I truly enjoyed it. We also had the Caldo De Camarón soup. It was packed with Shrimp broth with shrimp, onions, potatoes, bell peppers, cilantro and avocado. Too, we had a rice, steak, chicken, and shrimp plate that was topped with lots of queso cheese. Everything was great! The vibe is casual and laid back. We enjoyed our experience.

    Awesome service at this loud and fun Mem-Mex restaurant. Family friendly atmosphere too. Quick…read moreservice, well lit and good chips and dip too. I ordered the Carne Al Carbon, rehydrated dried beef in rich chili sauce. So good but maybe the only true Mexican like item on the Menu. Along with the regular Mem-Mex food choices that can be found anywhere. Tacos, fajitas, chimichangas and Quesadillas and Margaritas. The guac was some of the best I've had and made fresh; they even ask if you want it smooth or chunky. Tried to get extra mole on the side and was told everything is pre-made and they just heat it up so there was no speciality changes here. Definably family owned and operated as the small grandkids are helping by busing and delivering menu items. Good Vibes served here!
