    Second wall of marg glasses
    Chloe C.

    Service was very rude. My grandmother is 79 and loves her a margarita in a pretty glass! We used to go to the Keller location and the bartender Carlos was always so sweet and accommodating.... However they wouldn't make an exception for her and would only give her one in a plastic cup even though their wall is full of margarita glasses we even said we would have them in plastic and asked if they would make an exception for her but no:/ sad that these locations keep losing their customer service. Keller shut down... maybe Roanoke is next?

    I went for the margaritas and I was not disappointed. I will say that the salsa was just too spicy to even be enjoyable. Maybe it was just that batch...not sure. I enjoyed the outdoor seating area and the service was great given how busy they were.

    Tuesday- because margaritas sounded good. Sat at the bar and here is what we liked: * The interior and exterior were cool. Here's what could of been better: * Service- sat at the bar. Other thank taking order and bringing the bill they were to busy talking with each other. * Chips and salsa- yep I'm a gringo but this salsa needs to be offered in a less spicy option. Poor misses was sweatin'. * The margaritas were basics Applebees margaritas- had to explain to the bartender what I ordered. It's on your menu.... Overall just not impressed, so Amy good Mexican places with stellar margaritas- this wasn't it.

    Baja Cantina in Roanoke has great wine, tasty shots and snacks, fast free WiFi, fun vibes, and an awesome, friendly staff, perfect spot to unwind!

    We eat here enough that it's probably my #1 for Mexican food (partially that's due to one of my previous faves, Pulido's, no longer existing). My only wish is a slightly less spicy salsa option! I are at the Watauga recently and it was spicy but not quite as much as this and the NRH location! Haven't been to the Keller one yet. This is also probably the most aesthetically pleasing location because of the interior and being in downtown Roanoke. Certainly a regular for us now!

    The staff was very nice and my family of five enjoyed their meal. Our server was happy to get us several refills and everyone seemed to enjoy their job. We are new to the area and will be probably coming back. I love street tacos and these were great.

    Only good thing is the margaritas. We visited this meh establishment since it was rated 4.2 vs the 3.9 of the other Mexican place down the road. The salsa with the complimentary chips was very hot, like burn the back of your throat hot. So I was expecting some great queso. The queso was basically velveeta and not even heated up enough that it basically congealed at our table. The brisket tacos were blah. The table was so sticky when the waitress cleared it the plates were stuck to it and she giggled a bit. The waitress totally dismissed one of us when taking the drink order. The staff shirts say good Mexican food, which I suppose is accurate. It definitely wasn't great.

    Picantes Enchiladas very deliciosas and super hot and flavorful. Beef fajita on top cooked to perfection!

    The food here is always amazing, fresh and hot. The waiter and waitresses always are on top of their tasks and customers requests. The restaurant is filled with amazing music and great decor, the manager even came to ask if we needed anything and provided extra comfort. Highly recommend a visit or 2 here.

    The sour cream enchiladas are amazing! This is one of our favorite places to eat or hang out and grab drinks!
