We ordered Teslas Fajitas for two and a couple house margaritas. The fajitas came out piping hot as expected with warm flour tortillas. The salad was lettuce, guacamole, sour cream and diced tomatoes. Also on the side was refried beans and Mexican rice. Everything was prepared to perfection and quite flavorful. The margaritas were just right and quite large. The service was exceptional as well. Our server made numerous trips to our table to check food quality and refill waters. Everything was on point! Zero complaints.

The positive first: The lime mojito was probably the best I've had. The salsa is close to the best in Goldsboro. My son raved over his birria tacos. That was it... 3 things form the entire meal. The wait time from order to receiving food seemed a little long since there was less than a handful of people when we arrived. The guacamole was edible but not as good as it should be. My younger son and I asked for no cheese sauce on the kids burrito and he got it anyway. Tamales are hard to find and to get them with questionable looking ground beef and beans dumped on them was disappointing. They were okay once I scrapped that off. The refried beans were terrible. The rice was okay and the black beans tasted like they came strait from a can. The deal breaker is when the waiter came and told me he made a mistake. He proceeded to tell me he gave another table my ticket and flashed a signed ticket and proceeded to show me their tab that was almost $5 more and asked me if I would just pay their ticket. He kept saying something about him paying the $5 but he was not saying how and I was put on the spot. I asked him to remove a $2 item on that ticket and agreed just to get it over with. He should have reprinted my ticket and dealt with the mistake behind the scenes.

The chicken Morralito was Excellent! Great flavors and presentation. I would recommend ordering this. I took a chance and glad I tried something different. The salsa is very good! Service was very prompt and friendly. Even the waitress had a hard time hearing me when they suddenly turned up the music even louder half way through our dinner. Please guys! Turn it down! As our favorite Mexican restaurant, I'd give this place a 5 stars and eat here more often but the noise level was too much to handle.

Service- The service is always efficient and friendly, and the restaurant is spotless. It doesn't feel like you'd walked into a locker room with sticky floors, and stale smells. Ambience- the interior has a really nice wood decor. It has the feel of a small town family restaurant. They have a nice bar area as well.
