The dishes my wife and I had a very good, my daughter was not too happy with the enchiladas that are pictured here. The cake was very good but the people working there didn’t know what kind of cake it was.

Okay listen. I have been coming to this place since I was really little, and it is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world. It has everything I want in a Mexican food place, very cozy and welcoming. This place is the pinnacle of Mexican comfort food. The queso dip is positively life changing- it may be a tad watery but actually has flavor (unlike many other places). Waiters are hardworking and wonderful people. Honestly, I can’t give the place enough stars.

Very fast pace restaurant. And it was really busy the day we visited and we didn’t have to wait very long for our meals to arrive at all. They really have it organized and everyone knew there job. The food was fresh and delicious.

Newly remodeled interior, great food, decent prices, they have a very nice selection of authentic Mexican & some American dishes, they make really good mixed drinks, & their beer selection is decent, the deserts are good but there are only a limited number of choices. The staff absolutely makes this place though, they are so friendly & most of them have become apart of our community over their many years here. Most of the staff know me & my entire family by name (& there are quite a few of us). We love visiting here for a family dinner, date night, girls night, or special occasions whatever this place is a good fit for just about anything. It is especially nice if you don’t want to drive all the way to Lynchburg or if you want to get your family together somewhere close by. A few of us decided to celebrate my daughters 15th Birthday there & we weren’t expecting but a few people to show up we arrived there unannounced about lunchtime & we ended up having quite a few people come join us throughout our meal so it ended up being a fairly large group, but they were happy to have like they always are & they went out there way to make sure we enjoy our visit!! Thank you guys keep doing what your doing!!!

I’m sorry, I really do my best to not write anything negative, so I’m leaving an honest a review. The food was dry, the servers were inattentive. We sat down, ordered our meals and the portions were so small. Finished our meals and our server, never returned. We went up to the counter to pay and there was no one there… we waited over 15 minutes for someone to finally come collect our money. Definitely not going back again. There are much better places than this place.

Ask for the hot salsa here, it is well balanced with plenty of flavor and heat. My fajitas were excellent, a combo of shrimp, steak, and tender chicken. The portions are large, I took most of mine home. The tea was fresh and the service was friendly and quite efficient. Great place!

This is the best Mexican I’ve had since moving to Virginia. Staff could be a little more attentive, but they are friendly. We will be making this a regular spot.

Waited 40 minutes for a table for 6. Not an issue in Chatham on a Friday, I expected to wait. Was seated, chips, salsa served. 15 minutes pass, no drinks, no menu. A waiter stopped to ask if we had ordered drinks, no. 5 minutes pass, no drinks, no menu. I went out to smoke, came back in behind a couple. By then our drinks arrived but no menu. They eventually brought 5 menus for our 6 top table and seemed annoyed because we asked for a 6th menu. The couple that entered before me, had menus and mixed drinks at this point, 6 minutes into their seating. At this point I was too mad to eat. I ended up getting a cheeseburger. $6.95 for a paper thin frozen patty. The only thinner part of the meal was the cheese slice. Tomato, lettuce and bun were thicker. This was our first in house dining in Chatham since moving here in August 2022, and at this establishment, it will be our last. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
