    The best Mexican food in town. An expensive. Large portions. Customer service is absolutely terrific. Food is served in a to go container.

    Old Gas Station, converted into Mexican food and beverage.

    Highly recommend, excellent food, good service. This is an old converted gas station, looks run down but it's clean inside and the food is excellent.

    Authentic and very tasty Mexican food menu. Nice little market also with typical items. No real seating area- mostly to-go.

    I thought the food here was pretty good and the service was pretty good. I didn't have any complaints but my mind wasn't blown either.

    I would recommend this quick breakfast to anyone even though it is located in an old gas station I would be back.

    Great food, great margaritas, nice atmosphere!! Our motel…read moreguy recommended this place as the best Mexican restaurant and he must be right!! It is the only Mexican restaurant we tried but none could be better.

    Absolutely the worst Mexican food I have ever had. DISGUSTING! After eating, I was very concerned…read moreabout getting food poisoning. Luckily, that didn't happen. First time here, trying new (to us) places in Brookings. Came in on Sunday 3-1-26 for lunch. Only one server so service was slow with the 6 tables occupied. Three in our party. I ordered the pork burrito with rice and beans, the other two people in our party ordered the chicken burrito with rice and beans. Also ordered two iced teas. Water was complimentary. 1. Ice tea tasted like it had sat out on the counter for days. It had a moldy taste. We took one sip and that was enough. 2. The lettuce on the plates also tasted moldy. It had been cooked and was translucent. 3. All of our meals were drowning in red or green sauce. The burritos were filled with just meat and an over abundance of sauce. Meat was OK but had minimal flavor. 4. Refried beans were over cooked and runny. 5. Service was slow and not that good but I also understand that there was only one person doing the work. 6. Bench seat was so worn out that I had to sit in the middle so as not to sink to the floor. The only positives were the chips, salsa, and water. Never got offered refills on the water even though all three of our glasses were empty. We simply could not stomach the disgusting iced tea. WOULD NEVER GO BACK. This is by far the worst Mexican food I have ever been served. It was disgusting.

They make their own vodka and it's quite nice. Do yourself a favor and try any of the Superfly specials with it, they'll surprise you. They do have a food menu, but it's a martini bar first and restaurant second. The food was pretty decent, but the knife work, plating and ratios showed the experience behind the stove. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told I could order fish tacos even though it wasn't on the menu. I love a good grilled fish taco so I went for it. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned well, the green and orange sauces were good if a little too mild, and the tortillas were the right style but not grilled quite enough. Also, there was very little cilantro or onion and almost no cabbage so they weren't as filling as I would have liked. My wife had the Katsu Chicken Salad. It arrived plated like it was deconstructed: the katsu on a bed of lettuce greens with very thick slices of vegetables around around the plate and the dressing on the side. It was odd, clunky and the katsu was under seasoned. The peanut dressing was divine though, my wife said she could have drank that like milk. There are some other dishes I'd like to try and their drinks were fantastic so we'll definitely try them again.

    Grilled fish tacos. Perfectly cooked fish, tasty sauces. Just missing a good slaw, the greens were miniscule.
