    4 steak tacos especiales.  5 stars
    Nikki P.

    Best steak tacos especiales I've ever had in my life. Worth stopping by if you are ever out this way.

    A perfect lunch! Hubby and I shared chicken nachos and a beef quesadilla. Everything was excellent and fresh. The helpings were huge! The salsa was wonderful! We would eat here weekly if we lived in this area :-)

    Chori pollo , reposado margarita and some damn good salsa

    This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in all of MO! We pass through here on our way to vacation at least once a year & look forward to coming back every single year. The food is delicious & drinks are top notch! It is a necessary stop if you're ever in the area, it never disappoints.

    We were visiting family who live in Ellington and they suggested we dine here for lunch. To be completely honest I am a full-fledged food snob and wasn't super excited. They were surprisingly busy for 2 o'clock in the afternoon but service did not lack. I was soon enjoying a nice house margarita that was huge and well mixed. The free chips and salsa are nothing to write home about but my main entrée is a different story. The tacos I was served were pretty amazing with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. The portions were generous for the price and I left happy and very full. Ellington is a tiny town with very few dining options but if you find yourself in the area I highly recommend this little gem.

    A very clean little local Mexican restaurant Mrs. M and I visited today while traveling across…read moresouthern Missouri. The service during our lunch time stop was good and our selections from the lunch menu quickly arrived. I enjoyed my Heuvos con Chrorizo and Mrs. M had a Chicken Chimichanga. She rated her meal at 3, but I like my sausage & egg so we agreed on a 4. Gotta keep Mrs. M happy too!

    This place was our go to Mexican for over a decade. In the last year, i have had several bad…read moreexperiences, but kept giving them a chance. This last experience started with sending two teenagers in to get a table for 4, while waiting on my wife. It was around 7pm maybe three other families eating. When me-and wife came in they had sat the two teenagers in the bar area? Then when we got our fajita nachos that we order every single time, it had hardly any cheese on it. Me and wife split a order since they will not do half orders, and when i took half the order and slid to my plate there was zero cheese to half to wipe off the edge of the plate. My half was almost all dry chips and meat. The original plate had in the very center about the size of silver dollar a puddle of watery cheese. We asked for more cheese just to put on nachos and they wanted to charge us. As the waitress didn't add the cheese not necessarily her fault but she chose to serve three plates that clearly was unacceptable. Then refused to offer any assistance to make it right! Oh i will add we had to locate her to begin with, again restaurant not busy. Not sure if this place has changed hands or leadership but as i told the waitress, we will not be back! 4 other Mexican restaurants in the bluff. Former loyal customer
