"We had a great time. The food was excellent. We did not know it was brunch like a buffet. But, everyone loves it. I will recommend it for any occasion. The food is always delicious.
The table was ready when we got there and, we did not have to wait for the other two families to seat at our table. I love that because, I don't like the restaurants that make you wait for all your friends before they take to the table."

"Some unusual dishes that are delicious. Several are baked in banana leaves which keeps meats really moist. Our dinner was served on warm plates too. I love that attention to detail."

"We went for Mothers' Day, with my wife, mother and dad. The range of food offered at the buffet was surprisingly broad. It took two trips to sample it all and it was all excellent. Wonderful flavors. The waitstaff were attentive and the atmosphere happy and friendly, just right for a Sunday afternoon."

"Always a great meal here. Definitely a gem in Lakeway. Nice staff, great drinks, excellent food. Takes your typical "Tex-Mex" fare up a few notches. We try to get here a couple of times per month."

"This food is incredibly good. Interior mexican. Even though it was a Monday night when we were there, tables were filled. I recommend this to any foodie, as I consider myself one! The tortilla soup was an excellent version of classic Oaxaca recipe. Absolutely delicious. As was the guacamole, chile con queso and grilled Gulf of Mexico black drum fish. Fresh tortillas too."

"Outstanding interior Mexican cuisine with reasonable prices, tucked into an unassuming space in a strip center. Highly recommend!"

"Our party dined here for Sunday Brunch. The entire experience was delightful! We all really liked our lunch/brunch selections. The waitress was friendly and efficient. We also enjoyed the wonderful guitar playing - it added to the ambiance! We will definitely return."

"Excellent food and presentation. Not TexMex. Healthy & fresh ingredients. Favorites: "queso" with grilled veggies, fajitas, ensalada mixta w/beef fajita; their corn tortillas are amazing! The staff is friendly and helpful. I love this place and recommend it to everyone!"

"It was a long drive to this location. Food was so-so. The service was indifferent and the drinks were overpriced and skimpy. It was loud and there was no table privacy. Many tables share a bench seat. Overall it was overpriced and not worth the drive. Certainly not a memorable Valentine's Day."
