Reverse Swirl Meltdown. Only way to go. Mango Passion Lemonade is fantastic. Try Cowboy Queso . Also, try their Guadalajara and Carne Asada . You won't be disappointed. Cajeta for dessert is a must.

If you are a group of four the Plato grande is great has beef , chicken , pork and shrimp you can eat it as a fajita or with beans and rice . Great service and nice cozy place to have a good time with

Justin Adams

I eat here often. Normally fast, excellent service. Don't sit at the tables in the bar area unless you want to be forgotten. I gave up after 25 minutes. Luckily its close to several other restaurants .

This place is hip .. very nice and posh. Prefect place to bring a date … if I had a date. ???? I haven’t tried their food but I’ll make another post about their Tex-Mex food.

The spicy shrimp fajitas were amazing! By far the best I've ever had. Also, don't forget to try the cajeta and sopapillas combo dessert . Delicious!

Dave Hamelink

Scratch cooking is worth the extra few dollars. Make sure to request the type of beans you want when you order. Get the swirl.

Cece Gardon

We both loved our food. Black beans with fajitas lunch is my ugh. I was too full to care. Salsa was good Albuquerque style. Queso needs more pico & jalepeno

Scott Lincke

Fresh tortillas , great fajitas , really nice patio . Great for families too.

Cece A

Chimichangas , tacos , combo plates. Chocolate Piñata is a must!

Lauren Baker

The Guava-rita was very tasty. Fajitas for 1 could easily be shared for 2 with added tortillas . A little over priced.

Jasmine Crank

The Matodor Platter was delicious! You definitely get what you pay for.

Anna C.

The Plato Gordo definitely feeds more than it says and is less expensive than going to any other restaurant . Delicious!

Stephen Wells

André Zugman

Sit outside and chill ! Order some Queso for the chips , share the special whatever it is and drink a few Reverse Swirl Frozen Margarita 's...yum!

My favorite place for brunch ! Huevos Tejanos is really good and the fruit with sweet cream is so tasty

Katie

Have a child? Ask for a ball of dough . Kids love it

L. Gaye Hirz

Try the hand rolled tamales ! They are scrumptious. An appetizer is enough for a meal too!

Angie S

Swirls are the way to go - regular or reverse doesn't matter to me, but bring em on. Margarita and frozen sangria with a cute swizzle stick...yum!

Patrick Sanders

Get a dough ball for your kid. They're a free child-pleasing diversion.
