"Considering the tourist choices at this Orlando ocassion the food was great, flavorful and tasted fresh. Don't get the beet salad if your looking for traditional beets. Ours came out dry and stringy. The burritos, guacamole, fajitas were excellent. Try one of their tacos- I had the short rib and it was delicious. Would definitely come back again!"

"Clean, well-decorated Mex stop in a strip mall should be any Disney viaitor's go-to for its out of this world salsa and superb entrees. Far superior to restaurants that charge 2x as much."
