As we wend our way to Florida, we spend the night in Bristol for one main reason. This restaurant!…read more (The Hilton Garden Inn hits all the marks too, but as I have nothing to add I'm not updating that review.) My husband ordered five enchiladas each with a different stuffing. While delicious, unless you haven't eaten since last Thursday, who can consume so many enchiladas?! I shouldn't talk. The house special quesadilla -- always excellent -- is a lot of food. Ever resourceful, I took half back, put the chicken and peppers on a bagel and ate it for breakfast! (Note to self AND my husband: next time let's split one and maybe forego the steak and chicken. Chorizo and shrimp?!) Moving on, the salsa bar is great with smooth, chunky, mild and spicy salsas. That's not counting the warm bean spread brought to the table with their thin and crisp chips. Our margaritas -- $6 each -- are not only good but pretty, topped with berries and a flower. Here it is, Monday night -- not a typical going-out day of the week -- and the place is busy with locals. Pretty good testimony to what's become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

When my meal arrived I tried a scallop and it was awful. Cut another one in half and tried it...still terrible. Ate a few of the fried shrimp which were lukewarm warm at best and decided...wow, this meal sucks. The potato was fair. A server came and asked if I was done and I said yes...it wasn't very good at all and he could certainly see that I didn't even eat a 1/4 of my food. When my partner was done with his meal, which he enjoyed, the female bartender took his plate away and I said his meal was good, mine was awful. Both of the workers that I spoke with about my meal couldn't care less. I suppose it was my fault for not asking for a manager, but as someone who has worked in restaurants, one of the employees should have done something...anything to show they cared and tried to make things right. Left a $7 tip on a $70 bill (which was generous, considering my bad meal) This place has been hit or miss and this night was a huge MISS. Definitely won't ever come back to this location. We will drive the extra 20 minutes and go to the Abingdon location. Never had a bad meal there and the service has always been top notch.

I never thought I would find delicious and authentic Mexican food in this area. We got the queso with chorizo, guacamole, carne asada, horchata, and choripollo.

The queso with chorizo was amazing as well, I loved the consistency and the spicy flavor of the chorizo in the queso. I felt like I was at home. The carne asada was cooked the way we cook it at home and the choripollo was the best we had ever had. I loved this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, I loved the atmosphere of the place and the music they chose. If I ever come to Bristol again I will 100% come back to this place.

It was decent, but by far not even close to the best Mexican food I've ever had. Everything was pretty plain, the rice was dry, and the queso tasted kinda weird. They did have ample seating and the restaurant was decorated nicely/had a nice atmosphere. Good margaritas and prices! Our waiter was friendly but not very attentive. I did really like that they included some sort of white salsa dip with the chips, and another red salsa. Not sure what the white one was but I believe it was some sort of ranch-themed salsa/dip. It was pretty good!
