“ Best dining experience of the vacation!!! Prompt seating for 7 people (great)! Excellent free chips and salsa (get the mild salsa). Shared steak fajitas with my wife (plenty of food for 2 people). My son had the pablano burrito, and he shared his queso. Can you say amazing?! Well, it was. Service was great as well. Approximately 11-20 a plate. Highly recommended! ”
“ So good! Brooke, our server, was so sweet and kind. I have food allergies and she took the time to be understanding and check with the kitchen. I love that. I got the keto chicken, hubby got the enchilada queso and it was SO good!! Fresh food and delicious. Definitely will return. ”
“ The drinks were excellent! Carlos was our server today and let me tell you, traveling here in NC from MD it was so wonderful to find this hidden gem! Carlos was kind enough to speak in Spanish and English to accommodate everyone's needs. The food is absolutely delicious, along with the chips and salsa. This is a MUST whether you are visiting or local. ”
“ The table was dirty when I was taken to my table. It's not the biggest issue, but that's why I don't give service 5 stars. Overall, the experience was great. The staff were friendly and nice. The food was amazing. I would definitely go again. I'm kind of surprised to get salsa in Styrofoam cups. Seems like a big waste to me. The burrito I got was amazing, and I would definitely order again. ”
“ the BEST Mexican food I’ve ever eaten. The flavors are incredible! The service is amazing!! If you eat here your mind will be blown. ... ”
“ I honestly would have never guessed that this restaurant would have such good authentic Mexican food. It has a beautiful outdoor seating area as well as indoor seating. The staff is amazing, our waiter was very attentive to our needs as far as drinks and cleaning the empty plates. Also our food from the time we ordered it to the time it arrived on the table was a very quick process. The food itself was hands down some of the best Mexican food I've had in this area in a very long time. It was so flavorful and so good, the churro desert they have is to freaking die for, its soo good. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for the whole family to go check out, It's worth it. ”
“ I took my beautiful daughter here for her birthday. I loved the atmosphere. Beautiful paintings on the walls. The staff were very friendly and attentive to us. The food was amazing. They even sang Happy Birthday to her. ”
“ I don’t understand the 4.4 rating. Our experience was a 5! The flavors were so nuanced. My hubby had the modern enchiladas and I had the empanadas. Both were so good. The enchiladas have 4 different sauces and 1 in particular had a beet sauce. *chef’s kiss. I’ll be trying to recreate it. The salsa is top notch too. Our server was very attentive and catered to our special requests. The cucumber basil and blackberry margaritas were delicious. Well done! ”
