They made is tableside and it was delicious. It would have been better if the ingredients setup didnt block our view but not a big deal. Everyone mostly enjoyed their food and drinks. The margaritas and bar drinks were excellent. My son loved his texas fajitas. My husband and other son loved their vegetarian combo plates. I ordered shrimp & scallops fajitas. My bad for not asking whether they were sea or bay scallops. They were tiny overcooked, rubbery, bay scallops that were fishy and inedible, but the shrimp and all the sides (beans, grilled onions &peppers, tortillas, etc) were all very tasty. The service was funny. We were seated and served very quickly. They did tableside guacamole very well and refilled our chips & salsa. They brought our entrees quickly as well... then they never came back. I was fine that they didnt check in with us but we had to wait forever to get a check. I'd definitely come back. They got all the hard stuff right... next time skip the scallops (but really, how dumb was i for ordering scallops in a Mexican restaurant?) Lol.

The steak in the tacos was very juicy and flavorful, but the salsa verde tasted extremely good on the tacos! The price for the 3 tacos was $10, which was fair compared to many other places I've been to, so I would probably come again.

We tried the pollo tacos, the salmon tacos and the asada beef tacos, along with a delicious and zesty salsa to accompany the spicy chips. We ordered the frijoles to try those with the tangy chips and hit a home run! They were delicious together and the family was fighting over the remaining chips because the beans were so good to eat. We also tried the coconut rum and pineapple juice, along with the signature margarita. Both were made to order and ready within minutes. Delicious! We highly recommend this restaurant and know that whether you have family/friends who are looking for barbecue, tacos or other Mexican dishes (like empanadas or quesadillas), this place is definitely worth checking out. Your taste buds will thank you!

He was kind and made excellent recommendations. The appearance of the facility is pretty basic, with no thrills, but please don't let that worry you. The menu is in Spanish, some menus had prices hand written, others did not. I ordered the Fajitas. It was absolutely amazing. The most flavorful fajitas I've had, large portion, with authentic tortillas. I would absolutely return again to try another dish. Only main concern was they charged $2.50 for a glass of water.

I had it with a perfectly tart-sweet glass of agua de jamaica. Served from large containers in the fridge behind the counter. The menudo was sooooo good, it makes all the other menudos pale in comparison. This restaurant makes me want to move to Seaford.

Tuesday night we went to a Mexican Food for Mexican diners restaurant. I've never heard of half the…read morethings on the menu. And most things are a la carte. So I ordered a burrito. In an American Mexican Restaurant, it would come with some sort of sauce on top and rice and beans next to it on the plate. In this restaurant, it came on the plate, period. And I was expected to eat it more like a sandwich. The burrito was stuffed much like a Chipotle one. Steak, rice, beans, lettuce and tomato inside. It was tasty. Oh, and no complimentary chips and salsa first. You could order chips and a choice of a couple of different dipping sauces as an appetizer. We ordered chips and guacamole. My wife ordered a mushroom quesadilla. It came, like my burrito, alone on the plate and not cut in pieces. It did not come with salsa and sour cream. She tried cutting it up and eating it like a big nacho chip, but while the tortilla was fried, it wasn't stiff. Floppy is the best way I can describe it. She said that the tortilla overpowered the filling, so she ended up scraping out the filling and eating that, and leaving the tortilla. The cheese was Oaxaca cheese, which was different. She enjoyed the filling. The ambiance was dark but otherwise like any other Mexican restaurant. But the main vibe was dark. I don't think it's fair to pan a restaurant because the food was served in a different way than you are used to. That being said, I have to say that no effort at all was made to make the food a pleasing presentation on the plate. No garnish whatsoever. The quesadilla looked like they just turned the pan up over the plate. The burrito was just sitting there on the plate looking lonely. Not a piece of lettuce or jalapeño slice for garnish. Nothing. We had only water to drink. The price after tip was about $30. There was a 4% credit card surcharge. Not exorbitant, but wasn't too long ago that same meal would have cost half that much! There are a few "plates" on the menu, which by description are more like what we would see in an American-Mexican restaurant. I think if we go back, we would first study that portion of the menu to see if something took our fancy. I would also study some of the other a la carte dishes to try something new. The place really seemed to cater more to the carry out or delivery crowd. We were the only people eating in. Eating at home would probably be a more pleasing atmosphere. If you enjoy authentic Mexican food, I think this will fit your bill. Be warned, this is different from La Tapatia.
