Great tex-mex. First reaction was pricey , but portions are very generous. Wide variety on the menu. Largest tacos I've ever encountered! Sunday afternoon was very busy, but no wait. Great service!

Janneth Rivera

Chile relleno & lime Margarita is all you need! Awesome place, delicious food, big portions , excellent service.

Sana Hanif

Everything is delicious starting from the chips and salsa/salsa verde they bring to your table to the sopapillas with ice cream !

Anah Eichman

The queso is the best I've ever had. It has little bits of jalapeño in it and it'd amazing

Grace Owens

Delicious high quality fajitas and sausage . We save this place for special occasions because of the prices.

Paige Walker

Good food & drinks love the salsa hard to find someone with salsa as good as pappasitos

E.J. Hunyadi

The beef fajitas with Durango topping is delicious!

Ronald Ramsey

Pricy , but worth it! Great quality and very authentic . Love the fajitas and margaritas amazing!!

Ty Hinton

In my humble opinion, the margaritas weren’t very good. It was mostly margarita mix and very little tequila . It tasted like I was drinking a very sour lemonade . For $8.25 it was not at all worth it.

Gregory May

Fajitas , enchiladas & margaritas are the best in town ! Will ruin you for any other tex-mex.

Daniel H

Excellent food and service. Carrying on Mama Ninfa's legacy with great food and margaritas .

James Barnett

Order a Cañonball (Fried stuffed avocado ) and several margaritas . Gilberto will take care of you.

Jasper Walker

The fajitas and margaritas and the queso with chips .

David Potter

Nothing at all special here. One of our party ordered fajitas which were served on top of a container of hot charcoal. I was down wind of the charcoal fumes. This was very annoying.

Monica Ortega

Cynthia @ the bar is the best!! Soon as she sees me my drink has arrived!!! Love it here!!

Ask for Oscar , he's the best!

Jennifer DeLeon

The fajitas are the best.

Monica

The Ratones are delish, I don't really like their very smoky fajitas .

Michael Crawford

Really good food and service but not as good as the high prices would lead you to believe. Won't be back.

Gene K

Agree with pricey but large portions BUT, service is horrible and food quality out weights the sizable portion factor. I would avoid the place next time. BTW it was not busy so no excuse for poor Sv

Jason Stewart

Everything!

Cody A

I've sat at the bar ... those "clean " glasses are pretty filthy and the bartenders don't check them
