Hidden Gem! Don’t let the plain exterior fool you, the food is Fresh, Hot, and very tasty! Great daily specials too! – We popped in for a late lunch. First impressions: The remodel is great, nicely done with beautiful murals. Fresh Hot Real Corn Chips served with a chunky Salsa. Yum! He had the Speedy Gonzalez (Thurs. Special); I had the Shrimp salad and Taco. The portions are very generous and I took most of the salad home. -We’ll be back!

Wow! All I can say is wow! Halls finally got a Mexican restaurant worth 5 stars! The inside of the restaurant has been renovated beautifully and is so colorful! The murals are amazing! Wait staff was super friendly and helpful explaining the menu. There was so much selection to choose from but even more they had less typical dishes and more authentic! Huge portions of salsa and fresh creamy guacamole, chips were nice and crispy. “Street corn” was so tasty and we got 4 to share. The Carnitas, ugh soooooo tender and huge chunks, fresh avocado slices and whole jalapeños on the side. We left full and with boxes. Definitely a new family favorite.

The waitress had to keep coming out to our table to ask us about what we ordered. I showed her what I wanted on the menu, but she still couldn’t get it right. The cheese enchilada was meh. The pork taco was great. The shrimp nachos were just ok.

Probably the best Mexican in Halls, especially with so many options to choose from. The staff are all great and the food is tasty. It’s not the best Mexican, but again the best spot in the area. .

The carnitas and burrito were phenomenal! Service was excellent. Everyone was friendly. We were so happy with our entrees. Lots of food and the carnitas were so tender. I had not had this dish, this delicious for a few years. We can’t wait til we go again.

Excellent service, good portions even the alcohol. Friendly staff. I had Flautas. The shredded chicken had great flavor. Usually when you get shredded chicken it’s just chicken with no seasoning/no flavor but not here. Everyone helped everyone and we were checked on several times. Not sure why the bad reviews, but we were not disappointed and will be back for sure.
