"This is our go-to place for food period. I grew up in South Texas and ate in Mexico a lot and Fidel, Jeremy, Carlos and the team have nailed it! From the fresh in house salsa to the after dinner Flan, they have you covered. Their house specials are also incredible. Mexican street corn, Mojarra Frita, Chile Colorado, and the amazing Tomahawk Ribeye will hit the spot you didn't even know you were looking for! I promise if you go once you will be a regular, and on the second trip, you are la familia!"

"One of my very favorite places to eat! The food is always phenomenal, especially the Hawaiian fajitas. Tres leches is so yummy! And the assortment of liquors to choose from is impressive. I myself love the watermelon margarita, but this triple flavor margarita was quite tasty 😋"

"We had passed by here many times waiting for it to open and finally got a chance to try it out last night. The first thing I noticed was how dark the parking area was. It’s obvious they have tried to address this with additional lights. The atmosphere was very nice and the staff were so pleasant. I found the prices a little higher than expected for the size portion we received. The food was very good and well seasoned, but I don’t know if it compares with other places I have tried. I will say they quite possibly have the best margaritas I have had at any Mexican restaurant. I think this place is a good addition to Childersburg, and I wish them all the success. Overall I left satisfied and think you will also."

"This is not a good place to go at all!!! The food was horrible and stupidly overpriced. I asked for steak fajitas and it was terrible, almost no flavor, it was Burnt, and worse of all it was cold. The only saving grace of this terrible meal was the service and the service wasn’t good at all and there was cobwebs aswell as it stinking. it just wasn’t a good experience at all."
