“Good food and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 17, 2012 via mobile

Salsa was fresh. Order the mexican guacamole rather than the reg guac; mex guac was fresh with chunks of avocado and freshened by lime. We ordered a variety of dishes; no one was displeased. Our waiter was prompt and there when we needed him without interfering with our conversation. Not five stars but better than a lot of the bland texmex versions out there.

“Mexican Fare/No Surprises”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2012

These restaurants started out as a few in our area and have spread out quite a bit....their food is just OK, and many younger customers like it for the prices.

“Great Mexican dining experience!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2012

My wife and I travel to Mexico at least a week a year and love this place. If you go to the one in Gray, TN, ask for Marta! She is great and will take care of you! Excellent food and service!
