The establishment features various seating sections and definitely exudes a Latin ambiance. It offers a wide array of diverse platters. The food was delicious and in good quantity. You can upgrade a regular fajita to a double portion by paying a little extra. One particular...Read More

Nothing special. Been over a year since my last visit and I think it got worse. Got both steak and shrimp fajitas, definitely under seasoned. The servicer was their saving grace. Friendly and very attentive. Might be another year before I go back....Read More

For a first time visit to the restaurant, I will not return.. we didn't even get water or chips on the table before we left.Didn't even get a hello walking in the door...Interior is beautiful, customer service needs some work.

Decent food, bad prices, smaller portionsThe closest to a real "Mexican" restaurant in Grand Forks. Still not authentic Mexican food, but will do for now besides Mango's in Fargo. Be expecting to pay around $20 for something that will barely fill you up.
