The food fusion of Jamaican and spices were very good. My favorites were the macaroni and the cheesecake for sure. The tower of indulgence is great for trying a little something of different foods on the menu. Overall, flavors were great dishes were presented well and we all enjoyed our meals. The breezy bowls are not only pretty to look at, but they're tasty with balanced flavors tossed and teriyaki. Vegetarian dishes are an option as well. They have food flight specials throughout the week, which I would love to come back and try. The workers were very professional and I highly recommend to come out for a family outing, event, date night ,or solo lunch. Restaurant is nice and clean and there is a park right next to it to walk off the food!

The three of us ordered the $15.99 3 white enchiladas platter and the $14.99 3 ground beef tacos platter to share, ate until we were full and still took home a to-go-box. The restaurant brought us extra plates and serving spoons so we could split the food into individual portions with ease. It's possible to substitute sides without an extra charge, and we love the freedom of being able to customize. I love the Mexican rice with refried beans. Therefore, I substituted the lettuce, tomato and sour cream "salad" side that comes with the three enchiladas for refried beans, making the sides Mexican rice and refried beans. The tacos came with cilantro rice, which tasted like standard cilantro rice. My mom preferred the Mexican rice instead. The tacos only come with one side and adding refried beans is not cheap; it's an additional $4.99. The tacos were stuffed and the filling overflowed onto the plate. The taco shell tasted good, but the shell wasn't up the task of holding all those ingredients and broken apart a little more than half way through. It was finished with knife and fork but still remained delicious. The chips and salsa are plentiful. They volunteered refills. We accepted extra salsa which we used for extra seasoning on the tacos. The restaurant decor is basic Mexican themed - substantial wood chairs, tables and booths. However, booths and chairs have both seats and backs padded for comfort. There is a stocked bar along the back wall, but it's not a "bar scene" place. It's an option for singles dining alone who don't want a table or a space to grab a drink while waiting for your party. There was a large television tuned to a sports station for entertainment. There is outdoor seating, which is directly off the shopping center's parking lot. Therefore, cars line the outdoor sidewalk/eating area. What the outdoor area lacks in ambiance, it makes up for by being dog friendly.

I've been coming here for over 10 years, even back when the restaurant was at its previous location…read moreunder its former name. It's still the same family running it, and the quality has remained consistently excellent all these years. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. Their salsa and guacamole are some of my favorites, the margaritas are fantastic, and the menu has so many options that it's honestly hard to decide what to order because everything sounds good. The service has always been friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. My family and I have celebrated countless birthdays and special occasions here over the years, often bringing large groups because we know we can always count on a great experience. The staff does an excellent job, even when our party is large, and they consistently make everyone feel welcome. The restaurant is always clean and has a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. It's not easy for a restaurant to maintain this level of quality and consistency for over a decade, but they've done exactly that. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food with excellent service, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it.

My chili rellenos were all so excellent, however, the batter on them was more fluffy and cake like than crispy, which may not be everybody's thing, but I really enjoyed it. My drinks weren't particularly strong but really tasty, more like a dessert. All in all, and very good experience.

I attempted to try the beef fajitas and they were severely burnt. I was served a vegan plate with dairy sour cream. The rice was partially cooked. The flavor of the dish was off. I was sick to my stomach a few bites in. Next my partner got a lunch special with 3 dishes in it. He ordered chicken and got all beef. The tops of the enchiladas were covered with a thick 1 inch layer of cheese that would clog anyone up for weeks if not months. The flavor was disgusting. We were able to get my vegan meal for free and then another 15% off our bill. Never ever again!

The sign out front said, "under new owners" and the interior was clean, modern, and felt fresh. We bellied up to the bar and were greeted right away. I could have drank a gallon of the salsa. The Chicharrón tacos were a perfect sweet treat. The prices are a little steep and what you might expect closer to Orlando or for larger portions. We didn't venture out to the back since it was midday and hot already but the setup is very cute and I hope to stop by after work to try their Smores Espresso Martini out there.

Had a late lunch on a weekday while exploring the Mt. Dora downtown area. When I arrived, clearly…read morethe lunch rush was coming to an end, so I got to sit in the corner. Asked for a water immediately, and set my things down before going to the restroom... which was clean, easy to find, and well stocked, so zero issues there! Hehehe..... When I returned, I had a water and the bar menu as well as the lunch menu waiting for me. I ended up getting the Crooked Can/Frog and Monkey collaboration IPA, which was lovely. I ordered the turkey and brie sandwich, because reading it on the menu outside was what had originally drawn me into the restaurant, and a cup of the French Onion soup rather than getting the fries that came with. The soup was up first, and it was delightful- nice, hardy chunks of onion without being too big/sliding off my spoon, a well developed broth, and a fantastic amount of cheese. The sandwich was lovely, great slices of turkey and decently sized pieces of brie and apple to go along with it. Unfortunately, when I went to get the second half of my sandwich, I noticed what looked like a dark beard hair on it.... as I was dining alone, and my long hair was tied up, definitely not mine. I called over my server, and I pointed it out to her... she asked if I wanted to have a new sammie or get it taken off the bill. I asked if I could pay for the soup, since I had finished it, but not the sammie and she absolutely agreed to that. I wrapped up my meal and left to keep going on my day. Everywhere has issues occasionally, but this was handled well, so I will mention it, and I do knock off a star for this visit, but I am still willing to try again if I am in the area.

Lord, where do I start? Didn't wanna go here, but my friend…read moresaid oh let's go here it's cheaper than Pisces. The Caesar salad was drenched in Caesar dressing, the lettuce was mush. I can only imagine that the lettuce was already wilted before the dressing was put on. The French onion soup broth was sweet... Never in my life how I have had French onion soup where the broth was sweet, and I even mentioned it to the waitress. It's supposed to be beefy and oniony.. The black and blue burger was OK, nothing to go back for again. The assistant manager, or whatever she was that stood behind the podium in the back corner never cracked a smile never said hello, she definitely looked like she was mad that she was there. I took a photo of her but Yelp won't let me attach it. Spend the extra five or 10 bucks and go somewhere else for lunch.

Started with the dozen chargrilled oysters which were flavorful and the best part of my meal. I also appreciated the French bread provided with the oysters. I had a pound of the peel and eat shrimp in the spicy garlic sauce served hot. It was a Saturday pricing special and definitely a good deal. The shrimp were not deveined so peeling them took a bit more effort, which is not a dealbreaker for me but something to know if you prefer deveined shrimp. The quality of the shrimp varied - some were large, some small, some were fresh, a few were mushy/overcooked. Served with drawn butter and cocktail sauce, which were great complements. I'd probably do no old bay or sauce at all next time, as I liked the sauce less as I continued eating. All in all, I'd return again for the oysters and try out other menu items!

The ambiance was eh, there were lots of flies and it was noisy but pretty standard for this kind of restaurant. Bottom line, food was good and I'd come back.
