    Pomegranate margarita
    Daviña D.

    I really enjoyed this spot! It's located in a a shopping center across the street from Topolino Restaurant. Parking was located directly in front, free, and accessible. Staff were very friendly and our waitress did a great job of checking in on us, and answering questions we had about the menu. Happy hour is every day (3-7), even on the weekends. Only includes margaritas for $5.They also have lunch specials until 2pm. I loved the decor and vibes as well...tropical, upbeat, modern,and appeared clean! Of course I ordered the chicken fajitas and they came out hot and presented very well (I like my vegetables whole and not incinerated by the grill). I could tell that everything was cooked fresh but the fajitas did not have a whole lot of flavor. A side of sour cream helped to cover the flavor that was missing but flavor is important so I took off one star. It also came with rice, beans, and pico. You get a choice of yellow rice, cilantro rice, or white rice. Great portion size as well, I had left overs. I liked this spot a lot and would definitely come back and try something different!

    Back with another review! I tried new dishes, I thought I could add on to my last review but I guess not. So as an average this is a four because I am combining two new visits. Both times I had the chorizo dip- if you love that rotel- superbowl sports bar appetizer this is for you! Very cheesy and delicious. I also tried the quesadillas but I modified it with half steak and half shrimp.. it wasn't terrible. I think the steak was a little tough which seems to be a pattern. I also tried the fajitas nachos with steak and I wouldn't order it again. Taste wise: it wasn't terrible, again steak is a little tough BUT what bothered me most is the large pieces of veggies and steak. It wasn't bite size. They could have definitely chopped into smaller sizes. Jairo has been my bartender each time I've been - it's always been a Tuesday so that may just be her schedule. She's pleasant and makes sure I get everything I order- correctly. This time I ordered churros to go. I love churros! But usually I eat too much to have dessert. I forced myself this time and I tasted one fresh, it was crunchy yet dough. It originally came out with chocolate drizzled on top which was not part of the description. Jairo fixed it for me since I don't eat chocolate. The alternative is that it came with caramel dipping sauce. This time the music was a little louder but it was a nice vibe if you're enjoying a few cocktails

    Too cold to cook. JK, we're just tired of suffering alone through The Great Glaze a.k.a. Winter Storm Fern 2026. Super glad we came ... $5 Margaritas ... my frugal self was instantly in love. Looking @ the menu made me drool ... they have vegan options y'all! We were offered free chips and salsa before we were even seated. Fairly new establishment so still very neat, clean and organized. Hoping they keep up with the seasonal decor. Today they're all set for Valentine's Day. We ain't talking fine dining butttt friendly, efficient customer service will trump (NO pun intended!) expensive, Michelin star presentation any day. Shout out to our bartender (Claudio a.k.a. "C") and our server (Oscar). Also happy to report, our party of 4 had nothing but praise for every chicken entree served today (fajitas, burrito bowl and quesadillas). Delicioso all across the board. Check out my pics. Get hungry. Come visit. Tell them you saw it on Yelp. Share YOUR opinion.

    I definitely need to go back, i ordered the Taquitos Mexicano. They were okay, had a corn tortilla; I personally prefer flour. i know I would like something else instead better because the rice and beans were fire! And I'm usually not a beans person but they were really good. I also need to go back to try a drink. I'll be back with part 2 of review

    Stumbled across this place and I'm glad I did! I ordered from the walk up area and the staff was kind and moved fast. Ordered the nachos and chicken street tacos. Both delicious and the nacho supreme was a good size. Such a beautiful place and good addition to this area. The decor is pretty and yet not overwhelming.

    They truly try to accommodate and give you what you want m, even if that means altering the dish. I loved the grill marks and flavor on the salmon. They have a bunch if great options for margaritas and drinks.

    Best coconut Mojito in temple hills!  I absolutely love this place

    Service was amazing if y'all don't know then y'all need to come find out . I bring my family here for a reason they take such good care of you it's addicting . Come see Jairo you won't be disappointed!

    Nice place for a picture

The employees are patient and professional.I pretty much always order the same thing, mixed fajitas with rice and black beans. The place is clean however the parking lot still sucks but it's better than the old building they had across the street. The food here tastes better than a lot of sit down Mexican restaurants and it's more reasonable. They do have indoor seating if you want to done in. I would recommend calling in your order for faster service, as they do tend to be busy most of the day. I'm not sure if this is a female owned establishment but I only see all women working at this location. They do have an app now - which they didn't before. Remember to order through the app because you can't gain point or rewards using your receipt after a purchase. It seems as if you can only get rewarded for your purchases if you pls e your order through the app.

    After reading the reviews I understand why there are so many negatives about the service. My order…read morewas taken right away and I was told 10 minutes. After 30 minutes later I had to go up to the register and ask the gal that took my order if it was ready. I think she might've been new cause she really didn't know what she was doing. She looked around and read back to me a ticket which was what I ordered. Nobody was calling out order numbers or anything?! Now, if I had not approached the registers and asked about my meal how long would I have had to stand there before someone noticed? I might've been there all day cause no one even acknowledged me at any point in time if those 30 minutes I sat there. The food was very mediocre. Don't waste your money here. Take that drive to a different tex mex place.

This was weird because an appetizer came probably within 15 minutes. Additionally one dish never even showed up, but everything took so long that we just ate the cost so we could leave rather than having to wait forever to try and have it addressed. If you cannot support table ordering via QR code, that's fine, but don't do it. I don't fully know what the issue was, because no one gave a cursory 'sorry we're short staffed' or 'we are having printer issue', but there are too many good options to head here again anytime soon.
