The server was friendly and food was great! My friend ordered food from one side and was able to bring it over to the bar area. Nachos were huge and definitely an easy sharable.

Delicious tacos! We tried the beef fajita and the smoked sweet potato. Both were really tasty. The green sauce is spicy and flavorful. Would recommend.

What a fantastic find! The restaurant was everything we hoped for and more. The meat was smoked to perfection and tender. The chips and queso was amazing so was the guacamole. Service was great too. Highly recommend this jewel of a place.

Super cool spot. Food was very tasty and fresh. The chips on the messy nachos were my favorite. I needed a bag of them to go! Bonus bar next door with the craft cocktails.

My husband and I were SO excited to try this place! We had been to Smithville several times while planning our wedding there, but usually on a Tuesday when this place is closed. The day after our wedding we finally made it here, and I’m so glad we did!

Was in the area for a trail race and stopped here afterwards. Turned out to be delicious food. Had the picadillo nachos (cousin shared with me) and the carnitas taco on a corn tortilla. Don’t miss it if you’re ever in Smithville.

Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The homemade chips are spiced perfectly and went great with the queso and salsa. The service was friendly and fast, and a great place to visit after riding the trails!

Great shady patio distracts from the LaCroix of Mexican food. I was so hopeful when I was able to order in Spanish, but what came out was definitely a Smithville version of tacos. I think this place is sort of new and maybe getting the kitchen locked down, so I would try them again if someone tricks me into thrifting in Smithville again.
