Conveniently located right on the edge of the Keller/Watauga border, we’re the go-to stop for your favorite margaritas, authentic Mexican food and laid back atmosphere! To us, “Baja” is not a type of food, it’s a way of life that is good for the soul — built around good times and enjoying the company you’re with! Our vibe is all about not taking yourself too seriously, living spontaneously, and enjoying the finer things like our Famous Margaritas, Fish Tacos and Issa’s Queso.
Frozen cocktails complement tacos, tamales & more at this cantina that also serves Sunday brunch.

My carna tacos. Chicken was well cooked. Queso is very creamy but will overtake the guacamole. Did not come with any pico de Gallo.
The trio my friend tried. She said the the biscuit was absolutely worth it and the tamales were better with sour creme that she took from my plate.
There are no booths that I could see inside. There is a small quaint sitting area outside.
Tried the steak with a different dish. That is the better of the 2. Well worth the price. Just solid food. You won’t be disappointed.
The entrance and signage is very difficult to see and I would not have noticed it if I wasn’t told it was there. There is a large tree blocking most of the signage, so a little pruning would do wonders for them.
Inside decor is clean, not cluttered, and very open. The staff is very friendly.
Chips and queso were provided, and I have to say the salsa has a solid kick to it with a nice lingering heat. Chips are a nice thickness (not too thick but won’t break constantly) and fairly standard.
We asked about queso and perhaps one con carne. I found out there is one version not listed on the menu called Issa’s Queso, a combination of choice of meat (chicken, ground beef, fajita, chorizo, etc.) with guacamole, pico, and sour cream. It was quite good and we enjoyed it.
We then ordered a Burrito Plate and Enchiladas Suisas. I have to say the presentation of the burrito plate was strikingly boring and didn’t inspire great expectations. It turned out to be passable. The enchiladas actually were impressively plated, colorful, and inviting. A delight to see. Digging into the first bite, starting in the middle, my first impression was the chicken was a little tough and a little dry. Continuing on, this faded, yet my opinion still stands that starting with a touch more moisture would go a long way to up this dish slightly. The Suisas sauce was on the lighter side with the sour cream yet works well. The interesting, and a little surprising, addition was the softly sautéed squash and cucumber (yep, cucumber). It actually works quite nicely and adds character.
They have a nice little bar and feature margaritas prevalently. I hear this is a neighborhood gathering spot (I was there during mid-afternoon lull) but I can imagine weekend nights could find a crowd.
I wish I could go 3.5 here but have to try it again, and I will.
