Newly opened in September 2025, this restaurant has quickly become a hotspot. They take…read morereservations and that is highly recommended as we were there on a Thursday evening and we were able to quickly get a group of seven seated at 5 PM, but it was obvious that that could not be as easy later in the evening or over the weekend, peak hours. Plenty of outdoor parking with handicapped accessible spots makes easy access. Full bar/waiting area available if you do have to wait for a table. A Number of large tables available to accommodate larger groups is very telling about the type of business done by this operation. We were lucky enough to get there ahead of our group and get our table situated and ready in advance of their arrival as it became pretty obvious that they are shorthanded for the volume of business that they are currently doing. We found ourselves using the busboy for items such as additional napkins, water, etc. The manager did stop by to check on us and quickly helped to fill in some of the gaps For needed items by our group. The food more than made up for a bit of overwhelmed service staff. It's not that our wait staff was slow by any means, they were just slammed and moving as quickly as possible to accommodate everybody. Full bar available with absolutely fabulous margaritas. Amazing dishes that were high-quality, fresh ingredients, made to order and also delicious that every plate was wiped clean! We had a massive amount of food that included chips, guac, salsa, queso, empanadas, full entrées per person and a couple of folks with margaritas and our bill came out to less than $25 per person before tip!! I honestly think for the quality of food they might be slightly underpriced and per discussion with the manager he recognized that they need more help based on how busy and popular they've become in such a short time. Service hiccups aside, this restaurant should be able to maintain five stars without any issues with just a little bit more manpower. I'm giving the restaurant five stars because everything was so great and they are just working through some growing pains. I would definitely recommend coming here but plan accordingly, Should you hit during peak hours. This restaurant has a full breakfast as well as dinner menu so it would be fun to come back and try some of their earlier in the day options.

You have to request it, and proceed with caution because it's HOT. The menu is made up of your typical Mexican fare, and for a landlocked town like Aledo, there are a lot of seafood options. I realllllly wanted to try the molcajete dish, but I opted for enchiladas. And it's topped with real Mexican cheese - not queso, as what we're used to down South. The tequila selection is extremely limited - I wanted Herradura or Don Julio - but the bartender must've liked me because 1/5 of my way through my Patron margarita ... Fairy was slurring. :)
