★★★★★ 5.0 Ceren Irem Koycu · Feb 2026

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant 🌮 The food is always consistently good, and we keep coming back for the Chicken Bandera, Carne Asada, and Fish Tacos all full of flavor and perfectly cooked every time. The margaritas are also excellent and really complete the experience. A place we always enjoy and confidently recommend🍹

★★★★★ 5.0 Priyank R · Feb 2026

Recommendation, try the GAUCHO CHICKEN, ask for the Jim Bowie sauce on side and sub the regular rice w. jambalaya rice. Phenomenal combo. Always busy on the weekends, nice family oriented restaurant. Kid friendly

★★★★★ 5.0 Laurel Clare · Oct 2025

What a fun place, it has selections for Mexican, New Orleans style, and bbq. Our waitress was great as well. Enjoyed the jambalaya and blackened chicken. Lots of seats and space inside. Free parking lot.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 JustAGirlTX · Nov 2025

Nice large restaurant right off the highway. We went for lunch and were seated right away. Their chips/salsa were pretty good and we had to get more chips. They were the thin, really crispy ones that I love. The guacamole was pretty good too, but could have used a tad of salt and lime. I ordered chicken and shrimp fajitas. It came with all the fixings and rice/beans. I tried the rice/beans and didnt like either one of them. They didn’t even taste Spanish or Mexican and it was hard to describe. It makes sense since the restaurant has both Mexican and Cajun inspired food. The shrimp was sweet which was not quite what I would want in a fajita. The chicken was dry and the grilled onions/peppers had a seasoning that was also not very Mexican/Spanish. I wasn’t too happy with any of it, but

★★★★★ 5.0 Steven · Nov 2025

While they’re possibly not as good as prior to Covid, and maybe not as good as the Woodbridge location, this place is still relatively affordable with good food. The carne asada Jim Bowie style and Orleans Fish are excellent choices. In the warmer months you can even sit outside, which is recommended, as inside is always quite loud. Parking is never an issue.
