Great service and food at this location. The fajitas had a great flavor and made fantastic leftovers. They have plenty of seating so I don’t think you would ever have to wait for a table. My friend said the queso is great, so try that if you like that sort of thing! Their chips and salsa were great too.

Place was packed on a Friday night. But how attentive our server was and how quickly our food came out you couldn’t tell. The Strawberry Mango Margarita was absolutely DELICIOUS!! I ordered a Burrito not realizing it came with tomatoes. Was my error so wasn’t going to say anything about. However our Waitress asked what was wrong, and made it right. Made a Burrito to go. To me that was above and beyond to make it right. I dropped the ball by not getting her name. Friday 1/28 working after 730pm. Would highly recommend this place and come back again.

It took a bit for service once seated, but was well worth the wait. Got the house chimi with carnitas. Well-seasoned and not too greasy. Would definitely come back again if in the area.

Guess we didn’t realize it was more of a bar atmosphere more than a restaurant, we were seated over on the bar side, which on a Friday night apparently is karaoke night, the only thing that saved the night was at eight year old, singing, “baby baby” who will probably end up being a future American Idol, compared to the adult that sang and sounded like two cats, trapped in a bag, drowning in a river the food wasn’t anything I would return for, service wasn’t bad, but only one guy for the whole place.

We had a group of ten and made a reservation. We were seated immediately in our own room which was wonderful! The server was attentive and quick to return with requested items. The food I ate (a salad and chips with queso) was delicious, and the people in my party were all pleased with their food as well. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. Definitely will return!

We stopped by here after a looong day at Barnes Jewish for my S/O appointments and we tried to eat in the Lou but it was 6 P.M. and insanely packed everywhere.

The staff was friendly and we were seated right away. Our server was fantastic. Being new to the area and never have been here before we asked for suggestions on what to order . He said the Baja chimichanga was on special and it was one of his favorites. So my fiance and I both ordered that. It was really good. A little spicy for my liking but still great. I also ordered the medium margarita which was also on special for $8 and it was also great. There was a man singing live music on the other side of the restaurant by the bar which was cool. The only negative thing I can think of was the group at the bar, which was on the opposite side of the restaurant where we were seated, were extremely loud and rowdy. Their noise echoed throughout the restaurant. I will definitely be returning, it was a great experience.

Tried for the first time. Just learned they offer a buffet- everyday! A Mexican buffet!! Like, how can you go wrong? Wife loved her enchiladas, while I ordered their steak with onions and bell pepper, smothered in hot gooey cheese and chorizo sausage. Delicious, with a Capital “D”!!!!!! Buffet next.

The chicken chimichanga was delicious , it had tons of carmelized onions and peppers inside with the seasoned chicken. The sides are good, plenty of fresh toppings. All three of us enjoyed our meals
