I have not been in several years and let me tell you…I heard a little secret that they were bought out by my favorite restaurant, Papasitos, so I had to go try for myself! Oh my goodness!!! The food was delicious! Service was great! Drinks were great! And…boy the chips, salsa, cheese dip and fajitas tasted just like Papasitos!! I am so excited to go back!! Delicious.

Large party 3 adults 14 students. Short wait they canceled our reservation. We were stuck in traffic late 10 minutes. Only assigned 1 server to all of us. She did well, would have been better with 2 servers. Food was ok. Menu has changed since ours closed 6 months ago. Same atmosphere.

I just recently started going in 2025 and all experiences have been great, except for today Mar 2026. After 45 minutes or more 2 meals came out and 20 minutes later our last 3 entrees come out and we took them to go. They stated they comp’d our bill which they did not. What they did was deduct the 3 entrees they got wrong and after reviewing the bill they comp’d us over $20. Our waitress was great but I expected to see management. I will give them another shot because the food was good, even though I enjoyed it at home.

Really enjoyed our dinner here. The waitress Katie did an amazing job. She was very attentive to our needs. The manager was also great. I had just put on my glasses to look for the restroom and she said sir the rest room is right past the the big painting on the wall. The food was hot, correct the first time and drinks were really good. First time here in a while but will definitely frequent here for dinner.

Our recent visit had some positives, but overall it was underwhelming. Our server was very kind and polite, and while it seemed he was still learning, he did his best to accommodate us. Unfortunately, service was slow and disorganized, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Several mistakes were made with our orders and separate checks.
The food quality was inconsistent. Some dishes, like the brisket quesadilla, had very little meat, and the replacement wasn’t much better. The fish tacos were removed from the bill after we expressed our concerns, which we appreciated. Despite the friendly service, the overall experience didn’t match the price point—we spent nearly $200 and left disappointed.
We hope to see improvements in training and food consistency, as the staff clearly cares and wants to do well.

My server was friendly, attentive and always filled my drinks up right as they were empty. Our food came out steaming hot and fresh. Every time I’ve been here, the staff go above and beyond. One time, several years ago, I spilled my drink all over myself by accident, they replaced my food, and my cup. The server had a sense of humor and gave me a takeaway cup with the lid taped down. I thought that was hilarious and well worth the cash tip I gave on top of the card gratuity. I’ve not tried the bar drinks yet as I’m usually the driver, but I look forward to it sometime.

I’ve visited this restaurant twice. The first time my soup was served cold but the staff quickly replaced it with a hot delicious one. Great service and food that time.
Unfortunately my second visit wasn’t as good. The soup was fine but the Firecracker Jalapeños were undercooked dough remained through the poppers. The Cheesecake Chimneys also didn’t match what was advertised. Even after the staff explained what they were supposed to be the dessert itself was not fried thoroughly and ended up being a heavy cream of blob.
This place has a good reputation in Waco and can definitely make great food but lately it feels like the quality and consistency have slipped. Hoping they tighten things up because they clearly can do better.

Business has been slow the last few Saturdays we’ve been there. But, we eat early. We have a hour drive home. It’s definitely our go to on our Dams club runs. The management is amazing. We spoke to the manager. They are making great changes! And it shows!

The new menu (papasitos)has fewer choices and less lunch deals. Food has better flavor overall with exception of chicken tinga. Chips and salsa are better too. Luke is our favorite server here. Atmosphere could benefit from a refresh.
