Awful! Just truly awful. We know many great Mexican restaurants throughout Central Tennessee, and…read morethis is definitely not one of them. From beginning to end, this was one of the worst. Firstly, they are not very friendly. Secondly, the chips and salsa... The chips have no flavor and the salsa was literally like tomato purée out of a can. Again, no flavor at all. Then they brought the margarita... Lordy, Lordy what on God's earth was that!? My partner took one sip and was never so thankful he had ordered a beer! Yet again... absolutely no flavor at all. Tasted like little more than blended ice. I actually wondered for a moment... Are they trying to save money? Or do they just not know how to make a margarita? What a shame, because this is a charming little town, and the other restaurants are quite nice. This place is simply a disgrace.

I heard of this place by word of mouth! I was a bit skeptical when driving by but decided to try it…read moreout and I was not disappointed!! I've been here a few times now and I haven't had anything I didn't like. They bring out a GIANT bowl of salsa and warm chips as soon as you sit down. Always a good sign! They have super good deals on margaritas and draft beer that will blow anyone away! We had to wait a while the first time I was there but their food always comes out hot and so so good. This is my new regular Mexican restaurant!

Confused by the three-star average because my grilled chicken chimichanga, and the server who…read morebrought it over, were great! The chips and salsa were seriously delicious and my Coke was really crispy. It's too bad this is all the way in Monteagle because I'd make regular stops here if it wasn't so far from Nashville.

Food portions shrunk, quality of the food went down. We will not be back or recommend. Sadread more

This was a great restaurant, the staff were incredibly helpful and gave us a deal even though we…read moreordered takeout. Not only was the staff incredibly helpful, but the service was also surprisingly speedy, it took way less than 10 minutes. Furthermore, the food was spectacular we both got fajitas, and they were great, but the restaurant also served extra chips and rice beans, which were also both excellent. Finally, the ambiance and light decorations gave it a very much welcoming feel. The food is served extremely rapidly like a fast food restaurant, but the food and other features take the experience to a whole new level. We will definitely be coming back.

Yelp reviews and the locals say this is the best place in town to eat. The unfortunate thing is it…read moreis probably true. It is a really small place but there are a lot of tables, they stack them in and squeeze between them to get to you. They put me in a booth that was not blocked so it didn't really bother me. I had a combo plate with a taco, chili relleno, enchilada, tamale and a chalupa. I find chalupas really awkward to eat so I asked if I could swap it for another taco and they did let me. Some of my food came right away, one taco and the enchilada. I have seen this before at mexican restaurants but I really don't like it. I prefer all my food at once. The taco and enchilada were nothing to write home about but not bad. when they were gone the rest of my meal came. The Chile Relleno was very good, a huge poblano overflowing with cheese. The tamale was covered and filled with shredded chicken. I was expecting ground beef so this was a good suprise. I could not finish all the food and If they brought all my food at once I would have finished the poblano and tamale and left a taco. I eat a lot of Mexican food, this was not super high on my list but it was a decent meal for a reasonable price. The compact feeling when you walk in might be the worst part.

Came out fresh and hot. Good service, very nice booths for seating. I wasn't complaining the first time, but the salsa came out less chunky today, which made it even more delicious. We'll be back, and often.
