The food of great quality and the service was even better. As we were seated by the hostess, we were greeted with chips and salsa. Their freshly made chips are so good! My husband got the lunch special tacos and I got the Tio salad. Everything was delicious! My husband got a spicy margarita and he said it was very, very spicy since they use habaneros. If you can’t handle spice, you might want to skip the spicy margarita. This is a place worth returning to!

Nice quiet atmosphere for an early Sunday dinner. Place was very accommodating for 2 of our families (8 people). We all enjoyed our meals. Service was quick and good. My daughter (by mistake) did not ask to wrap her leftovers. Our waiter appologiezed and took care of her ny preparing new (to go) dish for her. Will defitely come back.

Fantastic fresh chips, amazing roasted tomato salsa, and the fresh thick flour tortillas were excellent. Service was a little slow, but we were outside enjoying the afternoon and our tasty margaritas

I don’t mean to be so critical but I feel I must. While the service was good and the atmosphere was fine, the food just was not at all satisfactory to us. It tasted bland, like something we whipped up really quick in our kitchen. My dish (a bean burrito) also had a ton of water on the plate. Just kind of a bland mess.

It’s the perfect option for hungry bunch! Friendly and professional staff took care of us as soon as we walked in. The restaurant interior is very vibrant and inviting. Architectural features , framed paintings, colorful ceramics and potteries will catch your eye. Fresh flour tortillas were soft, hot and made from scratch. Their Sizzling Fajitas were packed with flavour with a selection of add-ons: guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Amazing Margaritas! It’s kid friendly.) While the grown ups were enjoying their lunch, our little ones got to play with flour tortilla dough!!!.

The food was excellent. We noticed that a few other tables that had been seated after us were getting their food before us, so I asked a different server to check on our order. He promptly returned with our food, and we never saw our original server again. They bent over backward to make up for the delay in serving our food.

Food is bland, kitchen is slow, drinks are pre-made and are overly sweet. I would rather get myself some street corn dip from costco than pay for this again

Fantastic little gem in Great Falls right on HWY 193. I always stop for Mexican Food wherever I am in the world, and usually am disappointed the further I get from the Rio Grande. This place, however, is an exception, and well worth stopping for a meal.

Great Central American food. They have some americanized items for those who have the soft, lame pallet because you were dragged along to a cultural restaurant with the intention of eating nothing but chicken nuggets. The servers were really attentive, the prices are very fair. My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that the restaurant itself could use an internal face-lift, a bit drab inside.
