After reading some mixed reviews I was a bit apprehensive, but we are so glad we went for (an early) dinner. We sat outside and had amazing service by two of the staff. Super friendly and they popped out regularly to check on us. The...food was very good and plentiful, and the price was reasonable considering the quality and quantity. If you go hopefully you’ll have a positive experience like we did!More

We used to love this restaurant and have sent many of our own patrons there. Manager Alex is an abomination to this establishment. We tried to get an order corrected, offering a simple fix to correct their wrong, and he adamantly denied any solution while...insisting on being rude, disrespectful and completely unreasonable. He does not need to be in this role as he is not a problem solver, but only exacerbated the situation with his attitude and rudeness. When a customer then leaves crying, and all food and drink uneaten on the table, YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM and his name is ALEX.More

I asked the server or an actual menu. I selected the Tapatio Margarita and to my surprise he told me that it was taken off the menu. It was still on their menus. He quickly offered me the other ones which were over $13 when...the one I requested was $10.99 I ordered the usual steak chimichanga, THE BEST in town hands down! ❤️❤️❤️❤️More

We arrived on a Saturday evening and the atmosphere was welcoming and it was busy with a great buzz. We waited about 10 minutes for a table, and it was very much worth the wait. We didn't want a big meal, but started with the...chips and salsa dip which was refilled. The service was friendly and timely. The drinks menu was ample and the avocado margherhita was lovely with a couple of other cocktails going down very nicely, The meal itself, we had steak and shrimp fajitas and the molcajete dish. Both portions were very ample with a healthy side of rice, guacamole, salsa and refried beans. The steak was succulent and the whole meal had a lovely flavour, tantalising our taste buds. Overall the restaurant also had a good ambience and value was very good.More

From atmosphere (with Friday night mariachis), to authentic Mexican food and friendly staff this place brought back wonderful memories of trips to Mexico. I had tacos, which were authentic. Mexican carne a dada tacos, not those Americanized ones with lots of cheese. My son had...chicken chimichanga, which he said was the best he’s had. I enjoyed the house margarita on the rocks, which was good. My son opted for an avocado margarita. He said it was very good! Our server, Dayana, was super friendly. A bonus to the night was the mariachi band. Fantastic dining experience. Will definitely go back!More

Can’t say enough good things about this hidden gem! We ventured to this place in search of great authentic Mexican and boy did we find it. Everyone in our party of 6 was blown away! Can’t wait to comeback here.

We were on vacation. We like Mexican food. While at the resort, we did a search for Mexican restaurants near us. Several came up, but this one had good reviews and was close to our resort. We were promptly seated. Our server was very helpful...with the menu. Our order was correct and there was not a long wait time. The food was delicious. Our server offered to go drinks since he knew we were travlers(I wish I would have remember his name) We had a good experience and if we are in the area again, we will go back.More

Wife and I stopped here during vacation. We selected this place based on reviews, and we agree 100%, the food is amazing. Great atmosphere, great service too. Our food, burrito real, was out within five minutes. Wanted to finish it, but we couldn’t. Wife had...shredded chicken, I had steak, both were fantastic. The chips and salsa was great and the guacamole was amazing! Table next to us had the Mexican Cheese Fondue appetizer, which looked so good we wished we would have ordered it.More

Husband and I stopped in for lunch this afternoon for the first time. We happened to be in the area, and we thought we'd give this restaurant a try. We are so glad that we did! The ambiance has a real traditional, comfortable vibe. The...service was excellent, and our meals were delicious! The chips and salsa were great, the burritos and refried beans were amazing, and the Corona Light was icy, icy cold. They have a full bar with more kinds of tequila than I knew existed. The margaritas looked fabulous. The employees were covid safe and the bathrooms were very clean. We will definitely be back. This is the best Mexican restaurant that we have found in the Kissimmee/Davenport area!More

I traveled to Orlando with my family to celebrate the New Year. I called this restaurant to ask if they had outdoor seating. Instead of answering my question, the hostess hung up on me. I called back and she hung up on me again. I...called back the third time to ask to speak with the restaurant manager and the restaurant manager refused to even talk to me.More

Tonight we did an online order. When we got home a piece of our order was missing that was $7. We asked if they could refund it instead of getting out again. The manager told us we were lying! We won’t be back because of...the way we were spoke to by the manager. Who would take the time and effort to lie about their order being wrong?!More
