Aside from the music being just a little loud, It was great! The food was authentic, portions were large and super tasty, and the house salsa is top notch. I would literally go back just for that salsa. You can also enjoy a game of pool before, after or during your dining experience. They have a full bar as well.

This was by far the worst experience I have had since Covid-19! The food was horrible but the drinks were on point. My friend asked for our checks the waitress bought us one check totaling $118. My friend told here we were on separate checks. The waitress looked at us confused. My friend then stated we’re not lesbians—she replied “oh”! After surveying the restaurant we realized we were the only female couple there. Everyone else were males! No big deal we just wanted separate checks. The waitress returned 10 minutes later with our check written on a napkin now totaling $84! We had 6 tacos at the price of $3 each plus some queso which was $6. 2 double shots and 2 beers! No way this totals $118! After asking for an itemized receipt the waitress calls the manager who in turns tells her and the security guard we are okay to go! By Far The Worst Experience Ever!

This place has redeemed my hope in good Mexican food in Alabama. The guacamole is amazing. The langua tacos won me over; so tender. I’m in love with this place and just so thrilled it exists. Oh yeah, plus the music was great and they have a bar and pool tables with soccer games going.

Starting off good- the chips and salsa, delicious. Guacamole and cheese dip? Delicious. Everything else was just kind of ok. Nothing too spectacular, but not bad. Until I received my check- I went up to the bar and it took about ten minutes for them to return my card to me and I got the receipt- which wasn’t itemized and they charged us over $100 for three meals… that were all under $15 each! I asked them how it was this much but they didn’t respond. We were already running late so after me asking to see the itemized receipt three or four times, I just paid and left. I just won’t be coming back- this dinner was highway robbery for food that’s just ok.

Service was awful. We all got a $2 tax despite ordering complete different things. For reference, the state tax in Alabama is 4%, so our tax should’ve been around 60 cents. We all probably ordered around $10 worth of food. After talking to the manager, he denied taking advantage of us, told us to “fuck off” and even threatened to beat us up. Worst experience ever.

Nice bar. Great food that was quickly served. The staff was very friendly. And they have POOL TABLES!! So we stayed a little longer and played a few games. Smoking is allowed inside, so keep that in mind if you prefer nonsmoking. Great place to relax, grab a drink, and a bite to eat.

He has a great authentic Mexican restaurant here. I always like coming in here and feeling welcome. The food is very good and fulfilling. I love the homemade pepper sauce (what I call it) in the red bottle, and the soups have the entire chicken leg in them too! I have been coming here almost three years now.
