    Steak Tacos
    Michael B.

    Had a quick dinner sitting at the bar. Service was quick and friendly. I had a pineapple agua fresca that was cold and tasty. Steak tacos were hot and well seasoned. Red salsa was insanely hot but salsa verde was perfect. Great prices.

    Enchilada lunch special.

    Coming from Texas it's a little tough to rate this place but not try and compare it to Texas as that would not be fair. A little Mexican in Alabama with an affordable lunch menu and good food. I had the enchiladas. There was nothing mind blowing here but the food came out quick and it was relatively cheap. Service was also on point. I would come back here to grab something quick and if I was feeling like eating some Mexican.

    Seafood Soup!! Hands down the best Mexican soup I've ever had, full of flavors that make your tastebuds go crazy!

    The amazing salsa.  Did I mention amazing? It's amazing. Like a party in your mouth.

    Let me first say amazing, fantastic, great salsa. It's like a mini party in your mouth. The flavors just explode. We came in a Wednesday not that busy but still very quick and good service. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs. Both me and my husband got the #6 it was a good value for the amount of food. We didn't eat it all. Oh well lunch tomorrow. I'm most impressed with the salsa. It was the star to me.

    Some of the best, authentic Mexican food that I've ever had and at a price that was truly unbelievable. I totally recommend anyone to check out this restaurant!

    This was our first visit; heard it advertised on a local radio talk show. We were pleased. The menu has a large selection. The salsa dip was a little on the spicy side but very good. We ordered the cheese dip and it was a larger portion than most restaurants serve. We both enjoyed our food and agreed it's one of the better Mexican restaurants in Montgomery. The service was good. The health department score was 97. We will go back.

    Food was awful. Service was worse. Staff seemed not to care. I asked one person who the manager was and he shrugged.

    This Mexican restaurant has a very different feel than most of your traditional Mexican…read morerestaurants. It didn't have all the Spanish decor and music playing. It has a very open dining room and accent lights along the walls. We had a young man named Jackson as our server. He seemed a bit timid but provided great service. He made suggestions on dishes and made sure we had what we needed as the meal progressed. My friend, who has frequented this place before stated that their menus were new. I have included photos of the food menus. For me, they weren't very user friendly or organized well. Either way, we figured it out. The dishes were generous in portions and very very delicious! I had the meal #44 which is the Naked Pablano Pepper which I got with chicken. My friend took Jackson's recommendation of the #32 which is the Plato de Carnitas. Great experience. Would definitely come back!

    While traveling we found a restaurant with a high rating on Yelp, so we tried it out as our family…read moreis always down for good Mexican! We were seated quickly and the service was friendly. It's a strip mall with two large open rooms that could fit a large crowd if needed. At first glance at the menu some items were a little pricy but it was lunch time so we were able to order from the lunch section that had some good deals. Apps were great! Good Salsa, guacamole, queso but chips were on point! Not too thin or thick, held up to the dips and tasted great. Hubby got a steak burrito similar to a fajita style burrito. It was tasty. One son and I ordered different items from the lunch pick 4 for $12.95. The shredded beef quesadillas, shredded chicken Flauta, beef tostada, chicken tamale and Chile Relleno were are favorites and the burrito and rice were tasty too. Our other son order shrimp enchiladas and there were 3 small shrimp in each of the two enchilada. He said it tasted good but needed more especially for the price. It appeared seafood was over priced and minimal per serving. We look forward to visiting this place again when be travel to Montgomery!

Chips and salsa came very quick and before we knew it, Jose was on the scene and took care of us like family. I only wish Jose was employed at my local Mexican restaurant because he made the night! Food was great which we ordered grilled chicken chimichangas w/beans & rice. Always go with grilled chicken versus shredded chicken...way more flavorful. Beans and rice were your classic staple that were made as expected Grilled chicken tacos were on point and had the right mix of toppings which strangely some Mexican places don't always get right For a late night quick meal in the South where places don't often stay open late, we were glad to stumble across this restaurant and we'll be back before we leave town. But THE hero was Jose, dinner and a show....trust me...to the locals, you have a true gem and hope you take care him. Loved that guy!

    I have to admit. This spot exceeded my expectations. With such a low Yelp rating, I knew they…read morewouldn't win awards, but our experience was overall better than expected.
