Food is great, fajitas are awesome, place is always crowded and service is "iffy" Come on a week day if you want to avoid the crowd.
Always crowded and service is hit or miss but the food is phenomenal. The chicken tortillas soup is awesome, hibiscus tea is different and good. Reasonable prices.
The chips and salsa were good. Happy hour 3-7pm weekdays & 9pm-close Sun-Thurs. $4 grande & $3 house margaritas. Went Thurs 9ish and it was packed, service was super slow too. Good for drinks only!
Lexi HaJune 12, 2014Greatest and friendliest staff. First time here and I truly love the atmosphere. Love the recommendations! Definitely recommend the CoronaRita 😜
Sarah ESeptember 26, 2011Good service. Great guacamole. They have good deals on their Mexican food, especially their enchiladas. Good margaritas, sangria is ok. Tip: if you want a late night, come on weekends.
Awesome lunch specials. Drinks and service always great. Drown me in queso so I know it's real.
Maad BenchJuly 12, 2012Come here for the frozen margaritas and beef empanadas...best around and that's all you need to eat. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Endless enchiladas are here! I like them with flour tortillas instead of corn. They'll make it like that if you ask them. Turtle empanadas are awesome for dessert!
Devin HealeyApril 11, 2014If you come here wearing a sombrero you'll get angry stares from other patrons.- I like the Enchiladas the best!!!! And great free Salsa and Tortilla chips...yummy
Mango karma margarita is delicious. Empinadad and queso also yum. Can't go wrong here and Jordan the server was GREAT
Mark JareckiNovember 10, 2011Ask for Kenny for his Guacamole Cart! The experience is the best anywhere!!!
- Brian GoleyApril 14, 2013Not a bad alternative to Jose Tejas, especially because the wait at Tejas is usually 2+ hrs
Atit PatelMay 12, 2012Place where dumb hosts don't know how to seat people and give accurate amount of waiting time.
Abhiahek SrivastavaJanuary 1, 2016Not impressed with the service. Even though there was not much rush, they were struggling with service. Guess it's because of poor management.
Dwight HathawayFebruary 23, 2013Ask for the bill when they bring your food because they desert you. They have no idea what service is and then the Expect a tip for ignoring you .
Sweet Tea Vodka drink is so good, and the bartender Evan is a hottie :)
Tobin MadathilJuly 19, 2014Ok service, below average food...do watch out though, they recycle their trash by adding it to customers food!!!...plastic wrappers in my Quesadilla!!
Jenna FriedlanderSeptember 16, 2012Came here a few times and their food makes me want to throw up every single time. I have no idea what spices they are using, but come here with caution. Disgusting.
Dale PerrymanDecember 12, 2011I guess if you cheer for Dallas, they put you facing the miniature micro TV.
