The steak Taco's were awesome. The margarita was spot on. The food was delivered to the table in less than 10 minutes and the drinks were there in under 5. Great place to go before a movie.

Came in with some friends and wasn’t too hungry and got an appetizer of chili cheese fries and they were delicious. Their food is really tasty and the drinks are fire! I would totally recommend coming in with some friends and having a good night

As a Texan from El Paso, I'll give this place a big thumbs up... it's hard to find excellent Mexican food east of Texarkana. It was pretty tasty and authentic.
