    Stepping into this restaurant feels like walking straight into a fiesta. The room bursts with…read morecolor--bright tiles, warm lights, and the quiet hum of conversation--while the air carries the mouth-watering perfume of grilled carne asada, roasted chiles, fresh cilantro, and warm tortillas. Before you even sit down, Martinsville, you know something delicious is 'bout to go down. Then the chips arrive and salsa with such a dynamic taste one bite wakes up the whole palate; it's almost impossible to stop reaching for "just one more." When the main dishes land on the table, it's like a parade of color and aroma. Plates spill over with bold and beautiful balance. And the guacamole--oh, the guacamole. Avocado whipped with bright lime, fresh cilantro, and just enough salt to make the flavors sing. It tastes alive. What truly elevates the whole experience is the spirit of the place. The staff move through the room with warmth and genuine joy, as if they're hosting a gathering of friends rather than simply serving customers. By the end of the meal you're happily full, slightly amazed, and already plotting your return. At "the horseshoe" it's not just dinner...it's more!

    Nice little spot the servers are on top of the game more, than one server asked how I was or if I…read moreneeded anything I sat at the bar top watch them then make some of the drinks from the menu, food came out and was fresh .

    I have now been here twice and can honestly say this spot is AMAZING! Margaritas are the best I…read morehave ever had. I am happy to know that you can get a mimosa or champagne as well. Nothing is better with chips and salsa than bubbles. I highly recommend Plato Ranchero. One of the best dishes I have ever had. The Flautas are also tasty. I would order the salad on the side next time only because we spent quite a bit of time chatting. Salas are delish. Ask for the spicy one. You won't be disappointed. Staff....beyond friendly and accommodating. Both visits we had a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is beautiful. Absolutely a must stop.

    Service was great. I cannot deny. The guacamole, although…read morefresh, definitely needed some work, first I had to finish mashing it myself as there was still some big chunks of avocado in it, second, it had absolutely no spice whatsoever it tasted just like avocado, squashed up and nothing else. A few sprinkled tomato pieces on top and that's it. Very disappointing. I say skip it. Not worth $12 The jalapeño margarita was good but small and pricey $15 and very disappointing they don't offer pitchers. The queso birrie was ok, I didn't see any cheese and it tasted like just beef and a deep fried taco, I opted to add some tomatoes on the side, extra $1.50, which helped but definitely lacked flavor. Husband ordered the Alambre, he enjoyed it and liked the fact that it had bacon, thought it was odd it didn't come with tortillas but the waitress brought us some after we asked , even at no charge. The menu could use some work maybe a few photos would go a long way, had to look on Yelp to see what everything looked like:( The free chips and salsa were ok but they need to bring 2 bowls as one is too small. And a lot of the chips were broken. We Asked for a new bowl, they were better second time. It's definitely more authentic Mexican food than I am not used to but I also prefer spice and bigger portions for my money. The place was beautiful and had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with a parking garage next door.
