★★★★★ 5.0 Es Prescott · Oct 2025

The food is always well prepared and cooked fresh. My favorites are the ceviche, the carne asada, the shrimp tacos,the carne asada fries, and the Fajita Pacifico. Definitely recommend each one of them. They have delicious chips and salsa when you dine in. The staff is always super helpful and polite. I have enjoyed all my visits so far. They always get my order correct even when I get it to go! One of the best Mexican food places for sure!

My wife and I both had a combo Enchalda and taco. The large plate was full. The enchalada had a tasty sauce, the taco lots of meat, and the rice was tasty. There was plenty of beans too. We had the margherita special which i liked. We were seated immediately and the staff looked after us well. Thanks for the great meal.

6 stars for service with a smile! Great food, large dishes, pleasant staff! Ordered steak fajita salad, steak burrito. Requested habanero salsa and it had great flavor. Free chips/salsa. Total meal for 2, $24. Enough leftovers for another sitting.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Catrece Hurd · Jun 2023

Great food, chips and salsa were good and didn’t cost extra, decent price combo meals for dinner. Waitress spoke very little English, so it was hard to get our point across and didn’t exactly get what we asked for -but overall it was very good! Would definitely go back if we come back to this town in the future! (Forgot to take pics of our meals but all 3 of them were big full plates!)

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jimena Piedra · Sep 2025

We have visited this restaurant many times before, but tonight was extremely disappointing. When we arrived, we were told the only available seating was at the bar-style tables. We agreed, thinking it would still be comfortable. However, before ordering anything, we changed our minds and politely asked if we could be moved to a regular table. Instead of handling this request kindly, a staff member approached us with a noticeably hostile attitude, asking if we wanted to change. When we said yes, another employee (usually the one who handles payments) made a sarcastic remark out loud, saying “that’s why we ask first,” as if we had done something wrong. When my husband asked what he meant, the employee claimed he was talking to the hostess leading us to the new table. This entire situation
