This place is really good. Love their salsa , both the warm and the cold salsa and their vanilla bean flan is amazing. Service was a bit slow though.
The queso is the best I've ever had. I got that with the steak fajitas and have since become a happier person.
I really enjoyed the sizzling fajitas with herb grilled vegetables . They are vegan and still have amazing flavor! With the cilantro lime rice and black beans it made a great combo. Highly recommended!
I had the chicken relleno and it was delicious! Hubs had Mexican meatloaf & daughter had kids cheeseburger which they enjoyed. Staff was very attentive, highly recommend this one.
The fajitas and guacamole ! Melba is the best waitress . Highly recommend to try this place.
Great food and portion wise. The warm salsa just perfect.
The queso is the best I've ever had and the Mexican donuts are LIKE HEAVEN IN YOUR MOUTH! Happy hour specials with $5 appetizers .
Delicious food. Try the brisket quesadilla with the bbq sauce ! And don't forget some tequila !
The street tacos were excellent. The mojito is the best I've ever had. Good service too!
You have to try the Peanut butter margarita !
Food, service, and view were amazing. Had Morgan as our waiter - he was awesome.
Best place for delicious Mexican gluten free food with rich menu. Good service too.
There's a booth outside that tries to get you to sign up for a wynn timeshare presentation. It definitely last the full 2 hours FYI.
Great shrimp tacos , cheese enchiladas , refried beans and save room for Mexican Donuts for dessert ! Amazing!

Do the double pork enchilada ! Worth the money! Also, José is the coolest waiter here! Enjoy!
El perfecto margarita . Great option!
Watch for the up-sell to the signature margarita . It is $12 but not on the menu . Also, double check your bill if you have any coupons. We have been here several times and always have to remind them
The dessert presentation is amazing! The chicken fried tamales (pork !) are absolutely incredible!
The Crispy Chicken Flautas are out of this world... Delicious fresh guac , too!
Happy hour here is one of the best. $4 Mexican martinis and 1/2 all starters which are huge portions . Lovin it!
