I ate here twice on my own as I was travelling for business. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all as the place is relaxed and festive. The margarita's were excellent (which may have added to my feeling comfortable!). The salsa and corn chips, provided free with a drink, are enough to fill you. The portions are large; the nacho's appetizer... More

Many other restaurants in this shopping center have closed, but this place is going strong. The food is excellent, prices are reasonable for a big Mexican restaurant, and the portions are the usual huge plates (very hot, ma'am!) One meal lasted me two nights-the to-go box is a useful option. If you are going for conversation, forget it. The whole... More

Don't know where to start. Excellent food, loud music, good bar to hang out at while waiting for your table. Not very expensive. This is my wife and my favorite place to go to.

Superb chips & salsa, fair prices, next to multiple-screen cinema, friendly staff, 70% Mexican clientele for a reason, nice portions, seems like everybody but us celebrating a birthday, festive, mostly chairs but a few booths...we enjoyed it, will return.

My husband and I went to watch playoff game, ordered beers then manager turned on juke box and drowned out football game. We left after our first beers. We planned to watch entire game and eat dinner there. What a disappointment!!! Their loss of business!!!

Dry chicken and beef fajitas with so few onions and peppers that you'd think they were priced like truffles, watery margaritas at $35/pitcher, dull guacamole...why go on? Too many Mexican restaurants to pick this place.

This place has pretty good food, and a great location on the lake but it's always obnoxiously busy. Waiting at the bar for your table can be a pain because it's also pretty busy there too, but despite those minor annoyances my meals there have been consistently good over the past three visits. I'd recommend, especially to out-of-towners staying at... More

I love it, very good food and drinks. You will love it too if you like Mexican food, and is very fun to be party of this place.

Perhaps because I am an European but. I got a margarita, appetizer and entree and left in less than 28 minutes. This may be normal in US, but I am used to savour this moment. This is for me a time of reflection, enjoy the time, the flavor of the dishes ordered, the little talk with neighbor or servant and... More

Always great food! My family and I go here all the time, as we live close by. My favorites dish of theirs is the Salmon/pescado in Cancun sauce. The Cancun sauce is awesome. I also order their steak fajitas quite often. For appetizer I like the chili con queso. Always busy, lots of traffic, which attests to the fact that... More
