    QUESO DIP & CHIPS
    Matthew S.

    Came here during happy hour for trivia night. It is a nice tex-mex restaurant, with pretty good food. The inside seating is quaint, centered around a main bar. You can order and eat at the bar, which is what we did. Even with many people at the bar, service was still fast and attentive. This is probably the best happy hour specials I have seen to get free chips and queso and $3 drink specials. The margaritas were decent, not super strong, but well worth $3 each. The queso and birria chimichanga had good flavor. I was a little disappointed that the chimichanga was a lot more rice compared to meat. No other ingredients in the burrito. I did try the fried plantains which were amazing. Definitely worth going during happy hour for some tex-mex dishes and drinks!

    LA CHIMICHANGA - CHICKEN And fries.
    G S.

    Wait time was long on getting the food. We ordered the chicken chimichanga and I swear it tasted like day old pork. The portion was ridiculously large, so you could share! Presentation was good also, very pleasant to the eye. The fries were super hot and delicious! The tables and floors were grimy and slippery. The smell was a bit off setting as well. Smell was sour smelling like someone puked. It was def not my cup of tea!

    Llama was a fun & lively cantina right across the street from the Surfside Beach Pier. Garage doors open up to make a terrific open air place. Llama describes themselves as more of a bar (with live entertainment) & great food. And yes, their food was yummy. As we were a large group that just popped in, it did take a little while to get a table. Our server was excellent, very attentive & friendly. We started off with Tortilla Chips, Salsa & a Queso Dip. This was a great choice, however I would have liked salt on the chips. The Taco Salad with taco beef was delicious & enormous . It was filled with flavorful ground beef, lettuce, red onions, corn, radish, pico, cheese & guacamole - all in a crispy tortilla shell. I tried two dressings, the Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette & the Avocado Ranch, the ranch was the best. The Chimichanga with taco beef was my favorite, it was wonderful. Inside was tasty ground beef, rice, black beans & cheese topped with Queso. As my side dish I had honey drizzled fried Plantains, also very good. This was a great place with great dishes!

    It's a cute place with a nice covered patio for outdoor seating a couple of blocks up from the beach. Our server was friendly, offering good suggestions. The margaritas were average. In our party, we had the al pastor tacos, quesabirria quesadilla, and a chicken la chimichanga. One thing that bugs me is having to pay for chips & salsa. The medium salsa was thick and tomatoey - not spicy at all. The rest of our food was tasty. It was a cute place, not overly remarkable for food, drinks or service but not bad.

    The Long Island that was more an island of coke.

    Food was delicious, as always. I always get the carnitas and the wife gets the chicken tacos. I would have given it a 5 star, except the Long Island was almost all coke. We've been here several times and never had an issue. Otherwise I recommend this place!! They did take the drink off our bill, 5 star it is after all.

    Good is good. Service is a little lacking but it's a bar restaurant at the beach so you need to relax. Nice view

    We never been here since I've been living here for a min so we tried this place. Simple ambiance, but our waiter and the food was good.

    We had the best Taco Bell taco ever! Over priced and definitely not worth the money. The bartender was great, that's the only good thing.

    The food was disgusting. The service was good. The salsa was too salty the chicken didn't even look like chicken. It was more like bar food.

It has to be the best lamb I have ever tasted Cooked by the owner it was five good sized lamb lollipops cooked perfectly and serve with amazing fresh green beans with roasted potato that just melted in your mouth At his suggestion I also got a side of pasta and as he suggested it also went so well with the lamb I have never come and not had an amazing meal and wonderful service if you love good Italian and amazing specials run don't walk to check them out you will not be sorry and I am counting the days till I come back in November

The best part was the owner's visits to the table. He would describe dishes that made you hungry. We ordered (at his recommendation) the eggplant parm, a fish dish and a shrimp scampi. The fish and shrimp were delicious but the eggplant that two of us ordered was not edible. The owner visited at the end of our meal where we shared the bad news about the eggplant dishes. He was very concerned that we had not had a good meal. He offered to cook up something else to make us happy. Of course we refused. He comped both of the eggplant dishes! He didn't have to do that but we appreciated it. Although this place was a disappointment, the owner's enthusiasm and commitment to great service and good food will bring us back for another try.

They were gone in about two minutes between the 3 of us, not because of the quantity, but because they were so good. They were not overly spicy in case that's a worry. They have a full gluten free menu. The kids menu also includes seafood which I appreciate for my seafood loving crew. I ordered the Fry Basket with Shrimp and Oysters. My mom ordered the same but also had flounder with it. My son ordered a Caesar salad with a side of fried flounder. Everyone was very impressed with the amount and quality of the food. I honestly didn't take great pictures because we were too busy eating! It was a very busy day the day we were there bc of the Kentucky derby party but we were still seated quickly and our food came out fairly quickly. They take a lot of precautions when dealing with allergies and it was appreciated. They even identify that it is gluten free when they deliver the food as well. I can't wait to return and try the short rib macaroni and cheese. The ambiance is booths and tables around a bar. They also have a great outdoor space due kids to run around and play.
