★★★★★ 5.0 Devon · Feb 2026

One of the best experiences I've had in awhile. Great people, food, service and atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. I definitely recommend stopping in and enjoying the experience. The margaritas are amazing!

★★★★★ 5.0 Shannon Chambers · Feb 2026

The food is excellent. We had fajitas which were perfect. The salsa , cheese dip and guacamole was great too. My husband ordered desert. It must have been spot on cause he ate it all. The restaurant is very clean and everyone was very nice.

When I go to a Mexican restaurant for the first time, I always get the simplest dish to gauge whether the rest of the food will be good, Chile Colorado. Unfortunately, the food was just disgusting. The Chile Colorado lacked any flavor or spices, with the ranchero sauce being quite bland. The steak was overcooked and took a while to chew. The rice that came with it was good, but definitely not the best I've had. The loser of the whole dish though was the beans. When I tell you I've never had beans that were that gross, I mean it. It was like a bland, watery bean paste stuck on the plate with zero flavor. And the cheese dip? When did we start just melting thick cheese and not combining it with anything? Too thick, just not good. The only, and I mean the ONLY, thing worth getting was the chip
