This place has been in the heart of Plano forever . I have been going there for 18 years or so. The place is cute. The service is good. The food is good. Last time I had chicken fajitas and enjoyed it. Guacamole is so-so. I have had it better , but over all it’s a cute lunch place .

First time and we liked everything. We will be back again. Only thing I was wondering about was the smell … As you walk to the back by the bathrooms it smells like a sewer problem. I didn’t go in the bathroom so not sure if they were having a plumbing problem??? But the food was really good and the wait service was awesome… Food came out fast,,,

This place is SOOOO GOOOOD. I’m from Deep South texas and after 3 years in the DFW (Plano specifically) I have finally found a Mexican Restaurant 1) worth reviewing , 2)eating again 3) to recommend to my family when they come up here. I LOVED the cream corn, it’s so close to an elote ! The flavors are authentic, not too strong, but are obviously well made, with love and a clean kitchen. And it’s sooo reasonably priced!!!!! Omg I am in love

I was honestly surprised by this place. It looks like an old taco bueno. The birra was delicious! Not salty nor too spicy. Very fresh. Only gripe was salsa was too tomato-based. The chips were good too. World definitely give it another shot.

Can’t believe we waited so long to visit! Chips and salsa were the best I’ve had in the Plano/Richardson area. They have daily food & drink specials which are great deals. We went on a Tuesday & got the taco special. The carne asada tacos were insane. The inside of this place is super fun & cute. Will definitely be back very soon.

These were the worst fajitas I’ve had in a very long time. They were very gristly, had to work to chew the meat. The tortillas were stuck together, couldn’t get them to separate. I ordered Borracho beans, received refried beans, they forgot my Dr Pepper. The queso had a very strange off taste I couldn’t recognize. There are too many good Mexican restaurants in the area to waste money here. The chips were decent though.
