This is a good place to go for Mexican food specially fajitas. I got the chicken and steak fajitas. On Wednesdays they have a special for fajitas. They have more specials just make sure to ask because it’s better value for the money specially if you go with a big party. Steak was amazing, it was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the chicken was good nothing special about it. Definitely recommend the steak over the chicken. Everything else was standard for a Mexican restaurant.

Very attractive atmosphere with great service! I personally had the cheese enchiladas and they where amazing. The refried beans and queso where also super delicious. My relatives however did not care for the ceviche or enchiladas de pastor.

Highly disappointed with this establishment!! Half of the items on the menu were unavailable was told we had to wait on chips cause they ran out… for the prices they charge the portions were small for both adult and child plates, kids drinks came out flat…waiter came back to table and said oh yeah you needed another beer…. I won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend this place either !! Fajitas were average nothing special…. 1 Star !!!

I love it here. Cute decor, good service, good food. I always order the Chile relleno with ground beef and cheese and the green rice. Their michelada are good too.

Great OG Tex-Mex spot. Loved the Mexican martinis and he fajitas are fantastic. The only reason for four stars is, I didn’t love the room we were in we were a large party, and it felt very cramped.

This was my first time at this location and I see its charm. However, I feel the Westheimer location has a better atmosphere because of the faster-paced location.

Went here for lunch with a large group and were able to get seated right away. Good service, loved the salsas that come with the chips. Got a fajita beef enchilada lunch special which was good. Only downside was it seemed a little pricey. Not the best value, but good ambience and service.

There with a party of 8. We were seated immediately. Our waitress Maria was exceptional! I didn’t get the 2 guys that assisted and checked on names. But they were great too. The food was very tasty. We will be back!

This was my first time at this restaurant. When we finished and paid I was charged a 20% tip without being notifed and it was not reflected on the receipt for me to sign. The receipt showed $96.49, I was charged $115.79. The 20% listed on the suggested tip amount at the bottom on the receipt. When I brought it to the waiter’s attention he told me it was not done. He got the manager, Jessica, and she tried to tell me that it was not charged wrong. I showed her the text notification and the bank account charge. She called the credit card company and I had gone to the rest room. She came back and said that it was not charged wrong. So my son in law told her to refund the whole charge and she magically managed to get the $19.30 refunded.
