Grabbed dinner after an afternoon at the beach. We grabbed 3 entrees and soft drinks. Service was friendly and quick. Chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful. The main meals were all served hot. Each was delicious in its own way. I don’t think that you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

Lisa and Ellen were nice bartenders but could use a bar back! We ordered the famous “Gary’s Dip” which was phenomenal and a couple of frozen margaritas which could have used a shot of tequila! 😉 The walls lacked decor and the light fixtures above the bar are in major need of cleaning.-very dusty-ours actually had a spider’s web. The atmosphere is very dated and there wasn’t any music playing in the background. Get Spotify! Get with the times!

We went in on a weeknight with no reservations for a group of 7 and they were very accommodating, waited only ~5 min. Servers were very nice, my husband is celiac and they were knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination. The menu has great variety and the servers helped us narrow down our choices. They also had colouring available for my 4 year old. But the time we left the restaurant part was dying down and the bar section was getting more popular so we had the area to ourselves for a bit. I had great enchiladas for the first time in years.

I haven’t been here in awhile, but the food is still excellent, and the margarita was phenomenal! I had the mole chicken which was a generous portion, tender and with plenty of mole sauce!

Please avoid , not authentic at all the worst rice and beans side ever and no true flavor too food. Also the servers are taught to lie to up sell the same dishes. Very small or poor beverage selection.

We ordered takeout. We ordered the chicken enchiladas with habanero sauce. I will say they warned us of the spicy level it had. My son and I tried it anyways. I will say that they were amazing. The spice was definitely as hot as we were warned it was. My thanks to the staff for this order. It truly was great!

Good Mexican joint. Service was strange: new waitress who was actually very good just lacking confidence. Food was good and good portion. The drinks (margaritas) were very strong! Beware!

The food is great! I love their beef Tamales! They’re frequently used for fundraisers, so they can get pretty busy.

Great restaurant. I eat here often with friends and family, bartenders and servers are friendly. Kai was a great server this past week.
