Atmosphere wise, it’s a cool spot, I ordered the chicken enchiladas and I am sorry, I had to return them, the sauce or something just smelled wrong. The carne asada tacos, queso and churros were ok.

Dine here every time we are in Tahoe. Very disappointed with our last visit. Used to get a glass for the premium margarita now it’s served in plastic. The presentation was terrible . Looks like they need to replace/upgrade their serving dishes. For the cost, this should be a much better experience. Hopefully things improve.

Stopped here for dinner while staying in Lake Tahoe. I got the carne asada dinner and hubby got chicken enchiladas. My steak was flavorful but hubby said his enchiladas were a bit bland. Service was good

I enjoyed the Chile verde meat was soft Chile Verde wasn’t over spicy. The nachos where huge. I enjoyed being there. Like any restaurant they will have different foods with different taste but my experience there was great. The server i had was great really enjoyed the way she treated me and my family while I eat there

***** RUN FROM THIS PLACE *****
Food taste HORRIBLE !!! Fish taco is a 1/4 inch round and looks like fish sticks ! Gross …… carne asada taco is cut in square pieces and dry with onion. The Manager is NUTS she needs counseling. She sat down at our table twice, my husband didn’t want his fish taco and side of rice and beans, so she sat down at the table with us to discuss it (Who does this?), and to talk my husband back into eating the taco, rice, and beans, as she is holding the plate and talking over the plate. She said fine she will deal with the taco plate. Then I receive the bill and tell the waitress that we were over charged, because my husband had ordered a side of rice and beans and so did I but they still charged him for his beans and rice but the manager took the whole plate. The nutty manager comes back and sits down with us again at our table and looks at me angry telling me with a really ugly tone, teling me, WHY should I refund your rice and beans after you just ate THEM ALLLL (looking at my plate). I just looked at her and told her, it’s not for my rice and beans, its for my husbands, he was charged for it. Then brings me back my receipt and I go to the girl in the front to pay. She tells us she’s just the hostess and we have to pay the waitress, we said, oh okay. As soon as I turned to walk back to the table the nutty manager is running ♀️ toward us yelling HEY !!!! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO RUN OUT YOU ARE PAYING YOUR BILL YOU ARE PAYING THIS BILL IM CALLING SECURITY and that she did. Not 1 not 2 but 3 security came to talk to us and we told him what happened and after explaining everything, security tells us we’re not allowed back to the restruant. Not like we wanted to anyway. She falsely accused us of not wanting to pay our bill. How rediculous!!! Im a nurse and my husband is a General Contractor, and were both senior citizens at that. We have the money to pay.
Soooooo be careful and Truthfully the food sucked. Its not real Mexican Food

Our waiter was super nice and the food was so good. We ordered alcoholic drinks and a ton of food. Everything was fresh and crunchy. The street fries are a must. Thank you!

Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. It was not busy. We were immediately greeted, and service was great for the duration of our visit. It was disappointing that our waiter had not “tried” any of the food to offer a suggestion. However, the pork belly burger was good. The onion jam was really good. Food was more than enough to fill me up. Prices are in line with what i would expect for the area.

For the price, the food portions and quality were definitely not worth it. The margarita was very watered down too. Felt like a nice dinner out when the bill came, but left hungry and dissatisfied.
Atmosphere and service were fine.

Unpleasant visit to this Mexican restaurant within the Harvey’s casino. Went there to watch a UFC fight. When seated we were told $25 minimum per person which was not a problem with food and drinks. Nachos were soggy and covered in a pound of melted cheese, almost no beef. Soup and tacos were good. Waitress came back and said it was $25 per person per hour which seemed ridiculous. Ordered shots of fireball which were 1 oz and served in plastic shot glasses. The cherry on top was the waitress adding gratuity for a 2 person party. We would have actually tipped more if she didn’t try to pull some BS.

We waited 20 minutes to be seen after we were seated. Our server came to us stressed out (assuming they were understaffed) and did not give us a very welcoming greeting. We tried to order our food and there was push back on the amount we tried to order. I would assume it was because the chefs were understaffed as well. The upper management needs to be revalued because this restaurant is not up to par. I will ever come back to this establishment. I was heavily disappointed. Also our table was never offered anything but water.
