It was a pleasure to return to this space. It appeared to be newly renovated as the old marquee above the bar area was gone. Got the not-so-regular chips and salsa appetizer for starters. The fajitas was so sizzling good, the drink was on point too. The servers were courteous and the Valentine decor made a great backdrop for picture-taking and memory-making.

Very pretty decoration. Service was excellent and we were 11 people. Loved their Margaritas, hands down best in the area. Food was fresh and delicious. Can’t wait to be back! I tried Fresca Fresa and Patron Margarita, both were well made and without sour mix

If you haven’t been here, you must go. The food, atmosphere was amazing. This is the perfect night spot. We had a great server named Diana and suggested many dishes to try. I had the Taco Salad. My husband had the enchilada dish. From the Salas, ranch and chips to our dinner, everything was so good. This is ho.emade at it finest. I promise you will love it.

I have driven by here hundreds of times and barely knew this was here. This is a gem!

We went for lunch, and the specials were reasonably priced. I got yhe fajitas, my daughter got yhe taco salad.

They are a family-run restaurant, with food made in-house. The salsa, chips, even the ranch dressing They served with the chips.

Service was good, prompt and friendly. She left a carafe of water and got our drinks quickly.

The food was excellent. You could taste the love. Even the Spanish rice had something extra to it.

Next time I go, I will ask for the mango pork tacos… apparently it’s not on the menu, but the wait staff will recommend it if you ask for their favorites. It sounded amazing, but I was too full to eat more.

Price was reasonable for sit-down, especially in this economy.

Decor was fun… resort style. They do have limited outdoor seating, if you are looking to enjoy the weather.

Parking is easy, and it was clean and well bussed.

I will definitely be back. I haven’t been too impressed with a lot of local Mexican restaurants, but this one is at/near the top of my list.

Ed: January 2026 update: I’ve been there several times. Amazing food! Diana is amazing, great waitress. Make sure to ask about the specials and new menu items.

The place is beautiful. Very simple and elegant. We didn’t wait long. Everyone was very polite. Our server in the bar was awesome! The slush machine wasn’t working properly (which was totally fine) I’m not much of a drinker anyway , but he made me a concoction of his own free of charge. He heard it was our friends birthday and by the end of the meal they sang and treated us to dessert. It was a great experience.

I ordered the fajitas for lunch, and I was really disappointed with the lack of meat with my order. Moreover, I ordered salsa to complement my meal, and I was charged an additional $2. So weird to charge for salsa at a Mexican restaurant.

When you walk into this restaurant your immediately captivated by the bright colors and amazing smells. We were immediately greeted and sat on a slower night for the restaurant. Our server was attentive and always smiling. She was so polite and excited for our first visit. She had several recommendations and was eager to explain in detail any menu items we had questions about. The drinks were delicious and the food was immaculate! Full of flavor and beautifully presented.

This people lied about wait times to get a table, got there on a Friday night they told me it was gonna be a 15 min wait, AFTER 45 min waiting they still haven seat us , got up and asked the host if they were about to be ready to seat us they told us it was gonna be another 20-25 min wait on top of the 45 min that I was already waiting, if they had told me that since the beginning we could have gone somewhere else. Really incompetent employees. Having to wait an hour to get seated and pretty much another hour to get food is just not worth it. Go somewhere else
