Our server, Brendan was absolutely wonderful! The manager was super sweet. The view was beautiful.
We had the Mahi Mahi bites. They were fabulous! We also tried the Shrimp nachos. We enjoyed those too. We will definitely go back.

Dear owners, please give our waiter Ty a raise or bonus, he was AMAZING!! While the food was subpar he made sure we were taken care of and having a good time throughout our dinner, he even made special accommodations so that we could take our leftovers home on the Harley! First time here and we will be back as long as we get Ty!! Make him the manager and you will make BANK- B&G

Such a wonderful restaurant right on the lake. Very fast service, yummy food. Definitely recommend the triple dipper (queso, guacamole, and salsa) with your chips. Will definitely go again!!!!

Not a good experience. I can’t understand all the good reviews unless people have never had good Mexican food before. Overall, just ok but the ‘ok’ part is mostly bc of the nice views of the lake. Food is not good. $11 for a margarita served in a plastic cup on the rocks. Must pay for chips and salsa, have never seen that at a Mexican restaurant. Guacamole was terrible. $13 for shrimp taco dinner would be reasonable, except these tacos each had only 4 very small shrimp. They looked like full tacos but once I starting eating I realized it was all cole slaw. Had to dig through to find any shrimp. Rice was not homemade, definitely not authentic, tasted like the stuff out of a box. I guess if there is nowhere else to eat and you’re looking for a nice view this would be ok, just keep in mind you’ll be disappointed. Service left much to be desired. Server rude, my husband asked a question which I guess was already answered on the menu but he didn’t see it and she pretty said he couldn’t read. Also, never offered us second drinks on a 90 degree day. By the way, they were not busy so this couldn’t be used as an excuse. Disappointed for what we paid. Photo below to show size of shrimp. Additionally, parking is across the street, where cars fly around a curve and this is very dangerous. If you are handicap or have small children, please proceed with caution.

The service was fantastic! You could definitely tell they were a little short staffed and had been slammed all day- we went during the 4th weekend so we did expect that. However, our server was friendly and efficient. And the food was good! Also highly recommend the Sangria frozen slushee (shown below). Note: parking can be a little crazy but the boat slips were available!!

I read some of the reviews and didn’t expect much, but this was much better food than the reviews led me to think.
I had the marinated steak fajitas. They were seasoned very well and had tons of flavor. Steak was good quality and plenty of meat and veggies. My family had a mix or tacos and burritos and they all loved it. I had the Margaritas especially, it was very tasty but a bit pricy.
Look this isn’t the Ritz Carlton, but it’s just all around solid Mexican with a great atmosphere and view of the lake.
We came in by boat and they had plenty of space and boat parking available.
The only small downside was it seemed they were short staffed, we sat down and waited about 10-15 minutes before being contacted. The bartender was serving us and had tables all over the place and you could tell he was busy, but he did a great job. I think his name was Jaylen. We did see another table leave after not being greeted and they told us they had been waiting about 30 minutes. I’m glad we decided to wait though. It was worth it.

Eh went to try them out Saturday with my family was excited for tacos and tequila,but we showed up they dont seat you, you seat yourself and we waited at the table for like 10 minutes before even seeing a server on shift that then only greeted the table seating themselves after we had already been there for 10 minutes after another idk 5 minutes we decided to see ourselves out and go somehwrre else!! Probably will not teturn considering my first experience was not good even if they were short staffed someone could have said something to us!!

Margaritas are not fresh like they used to be. All made with mixes just like every other place anymore. Was looking forward to a fresh real margarita like they used to make but was sadly very disappointed. It said on their menu they offer fresh cucumber margaritas, what I got was a lime margarita mix with one slice of cucumber in it. I don’t even like lime margaritas. Will not be making a return visit.
