I couldn’t say anything but great things about this place. It used to be a ritual of mine to go here every single weekend, a few times a week, for years and years. I’d probably say it’s been fifteen years, but it’s actually been a number of years since I’ve been back, probably about six or seven. But upon my return, it was my birthday, and I met my parents up there. This was my first visit since my return to Tallahassee. We really enjoyed our dinner, receiving great service and great food, which was even better than I remembered.

Took my son out on a little mom and son date. We got our food very quick. After the first bite of mine. I couldn’t eat it. It was so dry burnt and old. I couldn’t even attempt to eat it. When the waitress finally came back. I explained I couldn’t eat it because of the reasons I mentioned. She literally just looked at me and said. Oh. Will never return. Was very disappointed.

Came here with my buddy and our server was Jacob Brown and he was the absolute best told us about Bogo margaritas and Bogo tequila shots had a great time. He kept the environment fun and exciting while providing good service if you ever go to this location definitely ask for Jacob.

I went in tonight with my boyfriend, and we are both Mexican food fanatics. We just moved here, and had to find a new restaurant. I can now say that this is my new favorite Mexican cuisine! The service was amazing! Our waiter (Hector) kept thanking us for being there, and he was so very sweet! I got chicken enchiladas and they were so delicious . They have a great environment as well. Thank you for making our nigh out more amazing!

It’s not the best I ever had but it was decent. My fajita was a tad dry, and it would have been better if the flour tortillas were homemade but I get it. There was a birthday, so they sang to the person which is always fun. At least you know they WILL sing for birthdays and they bring out some kind of dessert. It was not busy at all which is lovely and they have indoor and outdoor seating. You can also sit at the bar if you like.

For a restaurant that has multiple locations in the area, this was quite good. The service was excellent. The portions are very large. The food came out piping hot. They have an extensive food menu with all of your Mexican favorites. Also a great drinks menu. Very filling and satisfying meal.

Another good experience. Everything was good. I’ll recommend this place.
Great experience except the noise from Monroe street. We opted for outside seating and it was a weekend 05/20/2022. Food was delicious, drinks were good, service could be better , clean restrooms and good ambience. We ordered chicken nachos, chicken fajitas, shrimp fajitas and shrimp enchiladas. Beers, margaritas and sunset. Two for one beers all day every day. I would recommend this place!

Tonight, we had the best Mexican food we have had in a very long time. The chili rellenos were perfect. The ceviche was fresh, delicious and seasoned to perfection, but maybe just a smidgen too hot. My partner got the Queso Fundido and some chicken flautas. She rave over both of them and agreed that this meal was perfect.
The food was fresh, properly seasoned, full of flavor and spice. We have absolutely ZERO complaints about our dinner. It was so good, I called the restaurant and told them to give my complements to the chef.
Whoever the chef was on December 17, 2025 around 5pm, my kudos. Thank you.

We come here about 4 times a year. It’s pretty good for a chain Mexican restaurant. The drinks and service are the best things about this location. My favorite entrée is the adobe chicken. The margaritas are great!
