    Fajitas, camarones a la diabla, chips and salsa, margaritas.
    David C.

    We were driving from the Virginia Shore to Ocean City and looking to stop for lunch. We stopped here because there was not a lot of people (covid times) and wow was it a good choice. Chips and salsa were fresh and the salsa home made. We ordered fajitas and camarones a la diabla and both were fantastic. I love that the diabla salsa was actually really spicy. My husband is from Mexico and really loved everything. Only slightly negative thing I would say is that the corn tortillas were not home made, but overall everything was great. Estábamos conduciendo desde Virginia Eastern Shore hasta Ocean City y buscábamos parar para almorzar. Nos detuvimos aquí porque no había mucha gente (tiempos de covid) y wow fue una buena opción. Los chips y salsa eran frescos y la salsa hecha en casa. Pedimos fajitas y camarones a la diabla y ambos fueron fantásticos. Me encanta que la salsa de diabla era realmente picante. Mi esposo es de México y le encantó todo. Lo único negativo que diría es que las tortillas de maíz no estaban hechas en casa, pero en general todo fue genial.

    BTW the pico has that many tomatoes because I added some from my plate because it bare had any.

    This was a huge disappointment! Service was very good and fairly quick but the food was a shame. Old pico de gallo with no flavor, old rice that seemed like a few days old and also no flavor and overcooked, taco meat tasted horrible and seems like can meat, nothing that we ordered tasted fresh or good. Also there's so many flies you have to eat while you wave your hands around to keep them off. First time I go to a Mexican restaurant that serves such crappy food. I hope you guys make significant changes or you'll be closed soon.

    This little gem fills a niche and a gap in this area and does do nicely. Great authentic Mexican food , big portions and nice staff. Don't miss it. Try the burritos. A great find!

    Horrible slow service. Wait staff keeps forgetting my table exists, and they're not even that busy.

    Stopped here with my family for lunch while on a road trip. Felt pretty new inside. Woman working…read morethe counter was nice and helpful with a recommendation. You order at the counter and they bring it to you at your table. My kids got the chicken fingers and fries. My wife enjoyed her Rico bowl. It was heathy and flavorful. I went a bit crazy for a lunch and ordered a steak torta, pupusa, elote, and a horchata. The elote was a really fresh cob of corn with great seasoning slathered on. The steak torta had a a lot of fresh and zesty flavor. My favorite was the pupusa. Their was a fresh corn flavor to it and it was filled with melted cheese. Washed it all down with a delicious horchata. Definitely worth a return when passing by.

    Our first time visiting this restaurant solely based on reviews since we were in Pocomoke City for…read morea walking tour that evening. We found this spot at the very end of a strip mall with very few cars outside & almost looked closed. Thankfully a bright "open" sign was lit in the window. Honestly, my husband second guessed going in, except I kept telling him, they had the best reviews in all of Pocomoke. So we went in. First observation was it was empty, not 1 customer and for 6:30p on a Saturday, felt that was a little concerning. There's a counter in front where you order for either carryout out or dine in. The Menu is well displayed on the wall above. You'll find most of the side items in the heated bins at the front and everything else is made to order. The young lady waited patiently for us to make up our minds what we wanted and she also let us know their soda fountain machine was not optimal and to get drinks from the fridge instead. She was very friendly and after placing our order, she told us she'd bring everything over to us since we were dining in. They have a very large eat in area and very clean. She did tell us it would be 10-15 minutes for our order to be ready. There was a TV running an older movie which we started watching and before long, our food arrived. Everything is served in take out containers with single use utensils which is fine. We opened up the containers to find our food not only looking delicious, but couldn't wait to dig in because of the wonderful aromas. Everything was DELICIOUS. I still can't get over the fresh green beans, yes Fresh with wonderful flavor. The portion size was a good value for the price especially when the meal was so delicious. The fried plantains were such a treat, loved them! Chicken kabob was flavorful, juicy & tender, broccoli was seasoned well but just a touch too salty, but my husband was ok with that. To be totally frank, if we lived in or near Pocomoke, we would be dining here on a regular basis, it was THAT good, and that's saying something. The only thing I was disappointed and felt needs immediate attention was the condition of the one patrons restroom. No toilet paper or hand towels, so I walked in & out without using and we proceeded across the street to McDs to use which was VERY clean. After sitting there awhile, more people did come in, some came in but opted not to wait which I thought was a shame since they are very good.
