Melissa KeiserJanuary 4, 2015Awesome service and amazing authentic Mexican! The street corn elote was awesome - and so were the tacos and the green chili'. Managerial staff was great and came over to introduce themselves :)
Jared ElliottOctober 24, 2012Much better our second time around. shrimp tostada is amazing!The pineapple brings out the sweetness of the corn. An the combo of the creamy sliced avocado with the crunch of tostada, perfection.
Nicole AndersonJuly 8, 2012I enjoyed the service by Kaitlyn. Very knowledgeable & good recommendations. Decent drafts. Chip and salsa are excellent. Can't go wrong w chile relleno. Fish taco was a bit fishy, not in a good way.- Melissa L. BrinleyOctober 23, 2014Lovely combinations of soul food and Mexican-Texmex influences. Love the catfish taco! Wide variety of whiskies and tequilas at the bar as well.
One of my favorite places to go Molly the bartender is great she is helpful in selecting what to eat and has our drinks ready before we even ask
You need to try the drunken hog if you have not already. I think it has become my favorite.
Nation's Restaurant NewsAugust 9, 2012It has been said that too many cooks spoil the broth, but chef Josh Gentry said that Sopa de puerco, sort of a Mexican-influenced pho, was the result of his kitchen’s collaborative environment. Read more
Teresa HallJuly 21, 2013The patio is comfortable, but one table in the middle gets a wind-tunnel effect from both fans - be careful! Food is great.
Tony JuliusNovember 9, 2014The fried chicken here is unbelievable! I know you come here for Mexican but do yourself a favor GET THE CHICKEN!
Buck PerkinsMay 29, 2013Order the donkey daddy margarita. It will knock your socks off in a good way!
Jordan HolmesJanuary 31, 2014Ask for Collin and Kat! They are great! Fast and friendly service! Love it when they are my servers!
Changed their menu, appears be to trying for a more formal entree based approach. I miss the a la carte sandwiches and tacos
The burrito bowl with chicken is terrific. Do yourself a favor, though and stick to beer -- the cocktails are very hit or miss.
Will RileyOctober 6, 2013Amazing first experience! Will definitely go back. Their pork was so tender!
Love the brisket burrito!!! My husband loves the fried chicken
Everything here is completely made from scratch- they even grind the corn to make masa for their corn tortillas!
Shea SernaJune 5, 2012The Fear and Loathing is great; if you're looking for a way to change up bourbon, this is it.
Alan YouSeptember 27, 2014There's extra parking in a gravel lot across the street if the main parking lot is full.
After a recent visit, I understand why this place doesn't have the greatest of scores. As always, the food was great. The service was terrible. I felt like the server would rather us not be there.
BethAnne MaierMay 13, 2013Salsa: ok. Chips: stale, greasy & nasty. Veggie Quesadilla: quite tasty. Mexicoke: yummy, but too warm-- also a glass and ice would have been nice, instead of just the bottle. Waiter: absolute jerk.
- Matthew HenniganMay 21, 2012Patio was very enjoyable. Server seemed fake but tamale and chile relleños were awesome.
Brisket. Brisket. I said brisket, so why is ya still thinking about ordering something else?
I had a Little Donkey burrito and my stomach is still thanking my brain for taking it on a hot date.
After waiting for an hour and a half the staff allowed someone to take our table for a party of 12. So be sure to watch for your table!
Jason ReynoldsMay 6, 2012Terrible service. Got order wrong for me and my date. They charge for every refill you get. Took forever. WILL NOT COMR BACK
BittybooMay 13, 2012Yuck!!!!!!! Servers are unknowledgeable, cant make bloody mary, terrible food!!!!!

"My husband and I meet here for lunch once a week. I'm a vegetarian and they always accommodate my request. Today I had the #4 with a bean burrito and cheese enchilada substituted for the meat. Yum!!"
