“ Went twice and had a perfect experience both times. I only had fish and shrimp tacos so I can’t really speak on the entrees BUT everything I had was yummy and tasted authentic. Watched my server make our guacamole to order and that was delicious as well. I would also recommend the passion fruit or hibiscus juice. I wish I remembered the name of the young man that served us both times, he’s great!! ”

“ Delicious! Very large portions, fair prices. Also free chips/salsa ”
“ Delicious. First I got the Texas combination, chicken chimichanga, steak burrito and cheese enchilada, my favorite was the steak burrito, wow the steak is perfectly seasoned and marinated. Had to go back and get a super burrito. I recomend the steak, the chicken is slightly bland. The guacamole is amazing but a little over priced. Green sauce is great, orange sauce instantly cleared my sinuses. Black beans are delicious. Rice slightly bland, but it's rice. Overall will come back. Great place, great portions. ”
