Chips and salsa with margaritas are just the beginning. Catch the full spirit of Mexico in this fun, casual restaurant where sizzlin’ fajitas, crunchy chimichangas and perfect burritos will have you shouting "Ole!"

"Went there for Mother's Day dinner. Four of us were seated right away and there were only two other tables occupied. I always do early dinner, 4:30, to avoid the crowds on occasions like this. Service was excellent and attentive. Hint: Free margarita refills."

"I had a pork burrito. It was just fair. Pork could have been more tender and not near enough sauce or cheese on burrito."

"Casual dining at the heart of the mystic falls. I couldn't brag enough about their foods. My husband had a Carne Asada and I had my all time favorite Steak Burracho -- so delicious, always flavorful! Not to mention, our food came out fast. I love how the staff make you feel like you're really missed every time they see you. This restaurant has a good team! Friendly staff and excellent customer service! I guess what also makes this restaurant great is the "heart of the house" --the cooks. Compliments to the chef! Keep up the good job guys!!!"

"Food was barely adequate for a before the show meal. We only ordered aps. The "crisp" breaded wings were the opposite of crisp. Soaked with a vinegary "hot" sauce, they came out mushy and virtually inedible. I ate one, and started another, hoping that the second might be better. It was not. We declined the offer of a "to go" box.

It was not completely awful, but we certainly would not return."

"I was not very impressed with the food. It was presented well, but it just tasted generic. I was really appreciative that the waiter was able to give me a deal on my kid brothers plate, but I wish the kids menu was for a little older than 7. Our server was friendly, but it took him a really long time to process and return our check once it got busy. Overall the experience was okay, but I would probably spend the time and $ to go to a better Mex. Restaurant."
