As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

The coconut shrimp was definitely freshly battered, they are Large shrimp too! The coconut sauce was good. It came with wild rice & the "seasonal vegetable" was green beans. All cooked well. We ordered calamari to start - its not the tentacle rings your used to, but thick strips, i didnt care for that - lil too much meat inside so it was a texture thing for me. But the batter and chili sauce was good. I like the location cuz it's close to the beaches, usually less packed than restaurants by the bridge. They have a band by the outside bar sometimes.

My husband's 14 ounce ribeye steak included 5 ounces of fat. My coconut shrimp was burnt. I ate some of it but mentioned it to the server who said she would report it to the kitchen. I didn't expect a refund or replacement because I had eaten my fill, but a visit from the manager would have been nice. We tipped our server well, but we will not be returning.

The menu is huge, the wait staff is awesome. The restaurant is clean, fairly large and noisy, but not so you can't hear yourself talk. We ordered shrimp street tacos and a chalupa plate. By the way - - one of the nicest surprises was the prices. They are very reasonable compared to other places we have visited. The chalupas were large with rice and beans on the side - - crispy shells and fresh toppings. The shrimp were grilled perfectly with just enough spice not to overwhelm their delicate flavor. Served with charro beans and cilantro/grilled onions/avocado they were a hit. We even enjoyed the crunchy thin tortilla chips and salsa that were served free at our table. One of the best standouts was the Mexican rice. Some of the best I have had in a long time. Fragrant, not clumpy and tasty! I could easily have finished a huge bowl of it. Service was very efficient, friendly and helpful. Total for two entrees and two teas was $30.91 without tip. We will be back soon!

The vibe here is great: family-friendly with an authentic Mexican feel, big TVs, and good music as soon as you walk in. I ordered the Fish Platter (#30), which comes with a fish fillet, fries, rice, and coleslaw. The coleslaw was surprisingly tasty, the fries were solid, and the fried fish over the rice was fantastic. Portion sizes are generous--I spent about $23 and left completely full and satisfied. Service was great, the food was quality, and the overall experience was worth every dollar. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious Mexican cuisine in Corpus Christi. 10/10 -- Check them out!

I took my dad for Father's Day because he was craving a parrillada, but what he got was burned meat and sausage. This isn't the first time -- it's the third visit in a row where something has been wrong with the food, and I can't keep making excuses for the kitchen. The service has also slipped. I had to get up from the table to ask for the salsa ranchera that normally comes on the side of my egg plate. That kind of thing shouldn't happen. I'm disappointed to say that I can no longer recommend this place. He venido a este restaurante durante años; solía ser uno de mis lugares favoritos para comida mexicana. Lamentablemente, la calidad ha bajado mucho. Llevé a mi papá para el Día del Padre porque quería una parrillada, pero lo que recibió fue carne y chorizo quemados. No es la primera vez: es la tercera visita consecutiva en la que algo está mal con la comida, y ya no puedo seguir justificando lo que sale de la cocina. El servicio también ha desmejorado. Tuve que levantarme de la mesa para pedir la salsa ranchera que normalmente viene al lado de mi plato de huevos. Eso no debería pasar. Con mucha decepción, ya no puedo recomendar este lugar.

Visit 3: got breakfast thru the drive thru, chilaquiles with egg mixed in, no salsa ranchera They made the corn tortilla chips very soggy and there were ONIONS which I do not like and which was not disclosed, only ate a quarter or the top layer of the plate. Visit 4: was sick with vomiting so got tortilla soup. Chicken was cooked but not tenderized. I liked the one from Cancun's better. Visit 5: brought hubby here. He commented that carne guisada was overcooked, I tasted and agreed. I put this place to the true test by ordering menudo... and they failed. Menudo tasted like they didn't wash tripas after parboiling them. Each bite was initially good follow up by an uncomfortable, dirty aftertaste. My verdict: not bad, just mid. Maybe some issues with quality control. I'll be back to try the seafood though.

My friend had a cheese enchilada plate. We asked if the enchiladas had onions, and our sever said they could put onions if we wanted, which we did. The beef fajita meat was sour, and I could not eat it. It had definitely gone bad. The enchiladas were only okay, not anything I'd go back for, but they did have a few onions sprinkled on top. When we received our bill, we saw that we were each charged .75 for "food", but no explanation. We asked our server and were told it was for the onions. 75 cents for approximately 10 pieces of diced onion?!?! We felt the server should have informed us that there would be a charge for the onions. Also, I asked for none of the veggies on my fajita taco, so maybe they should have just taken the onions I didn't want on the taco and put them on my enchilada. Service was okay, but could have been much better considering the place was empty. The food was a definite no.
