“ Saw that this place was crowded every night so we thought we would give it a try. Very pleased. Good tamales. Good margaritas. Good choices. But overall, its kinda loud. Baby crying - so makes it a terrible experience. Overall, a good meal. ”

“ Great customer service and watermelon Rita and mixed fajitas. Bar tenders were attentive and smiling the whole time! ”
“ Let me start by saying... they serve cold salsa something rare in TX... but sooo good. I had enchiladas... they were good but kind of on the dry side... on the inside. Nachos were perfect size and had all the goodies on them and fajitas were really sizzling when they came out. Our waiter was on it.... Never had to ask for a refill or anything, it was just already there. Margarita was strong enough and good flavor. The restaurant itself could be a good place to watch sports at the bar but it also has like a family area. Very fun vibes. Overall really enjoyed the place. ”
“ Cinco De Mayo Review: Knowing Cinco De Mayo is more like Cinco de Drinko at every Tex-Mex in town, we had to get there early, and yes, I was right because the parking was starting to get full at 4:30. For starters, we got a JT Rita and some Dos XX's. The server was very cordial and offered us the queso special, and we jumped on that along with the fajita nachos and chips and salsas. All of these were delightful to our tastebuds! I was ecstatic that they offered mixed fajitas for 2 at a special price of $34.99! Man, these were fresh, hot, and sizzling upon making its entrance to our table. We were able to get both tortillas de maiz and harina after my request to do so. My only gripe was that we only got 2 of each kind, but oh well. The platter came with caramelized onions and peppers. Spanish Rice and Refried Beans also complimented along with Pico, shredded cheddar and jack cheese, and sour cream! We were more than full after polishing it off! Will most definitely return for more any time! ”
