The ambience was a bit boisterous so it made conversation difficult. The decor was nice. Service was relatively attentive.
The food offered a wider selection of flavors than other Mexican places I visit. The entre menu seemed complex, but basically each item was the choice of protein/meat and fig each you could choose taco/burrito/chimichanga/bowl. A nice way to present it once you figure it out. I had the mole taco – good but it seemed a little over salted. Someone else at the table said the same ov their al pastor bowl. My wife though the poblano chimichanga was excellent.
The one service disappointment was the vegan rajas burrito order that was served topped with cheese. The server comp’ed us that meal which was appropriate since the diner couldn’t each much of it, but it reflects poorly on the kitchen.

Outstanding food. Amazing bartenders. Love the Apricot Chipotle Margarita & the mexican clam chowder they have is out of this world! Highly recommend getting a tequila flight if they are offering them, it is a good deal & really delicious. The Al Pastor is wonderful & the way their menu is set up is great— choose your filling & then choose the style (burrito, taco, chimichanga) it makes the menu more clear & concise & not something you need twenty minutes to read through.
We travel thirty minutes to go, at least twice a month! Thank you for your wonderful food & service 🙂

Review: Disappointing Service Experience Despite Good Food
I normally don’t leave reviews, but I felt compelled to after our less-than-great experience here while visiting Rockport on a girls’ trip. We were excited to find a Mexican restaurant—because who doesn’t love Mexican on a girls’ trip? The food was good, and the service started out fine.
However, at the end of the meal, things went downhill. Our server, a young woman with long dark hair, was pleasant until we asked to have separate checks for our table of five. At that point, she rolled her eyes, stomped her foot, and walked away. We could see her talking to another server and pointing toward us, which was uncomfortable and unprofessional.
Why assume five grown, middle-aged women would all be on one check? We had each spent around $50, and we always tip generously—especially on vacation. In fact, she likely would have received around a $150 tip from our table if she had simply split the checks and handled it with grace. Instead, she ignored us and rushed past our table, continuing to act annoyed. Eventually, we pooled our cash, left it in the checkbook, and left disappointed.
It’s unfortunate, because we were polite and kind the entire time. We’ve all worked in customer service, so we understand how hard that job can be. That’s why we always go out of our way to tip well. But her reaction was uncalled for and left a sour ending to what had been a nice meal.
If you’re visiting Rockport and want good Mexican food, this place is worth a try—but be sure to ask for separate checks upfront to avoid the same issue. Hopefully, the management can address this behavior so that future guests feel welcome and respected.

Excellent mexican food and atmosphere! There were 6 of us and everyone enjoyed their meals, I had tacos and my wife had the burrito bowl, both great, The chips and salsa were brought out quickly and were delicious. The deserts were great, especially the flan! Excellent service as well.

Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to dine here. I could eat tacos every day for the rest of my life. I opted for Al Pastor tacos…let’s just say I got taken to church. One of the best I can recall, so best for now. Would love to try their take on Birria should they add it to the menu. Hint hint.

Definately not your typical Mexican restaurant. The salsa was chunky and tasty. If the salsa isn’t good it’s a good indication the food isn’t. It was chunky and delicious. It was difficult to chose from the dinner choices they all sounded deliciously different. I got the dinner special Chili Enogadas – full of flavor – you will not be disappointed!! Drinks were great too!!

Visited for the first time last night and I can’t believe we waited so long. This place is delicious! It’s a cute place with a large bar and seating at well spaced tables, plenty of elbow room. Service was great. Server (owner or manager maybe?) was very warm and friendly. I got the Machaca (beef brisket) rolled up in a chimichanga while my partner had a variety of tacos. It was all amazing! Even the sauce on the chimi had me cleaning my plate! Another owner(?), cook(?) also stopped by to check on us and explained the family background about some menu items. We were delighted. The margarita was also tasty. We will definitely be back for another taco Tuesday (or Margaritas Monday, etc.). I think this is our new favorite in the area. Can’t wait to try more food!
