    I have been here multiple times and had great dining experiences! The quantity of food is generous and the service is always good! Margs we're delicious. Will be back :)

    Chicken Street Fajitas

    We tried something new! The Chicken and Steak Street Fajitas with Chorizo sausage, Pineapple, Cilantro, Onions, and melted Queso was packed full of flavor! Muy Delicioso!

    Fajitas - all the meats.

    Lago is one of the best places on the Northshore to get fajitas. I am not going to bore you with a bunch of superfluous details in this review. Instead I am going to tell you what to order if you want to be like me. Let's face it, pretty much no one wants to be like me, but damn these fajitas are good. Meat Lovers Fajitas. Say it with me: Meat Lovers Fajitas Picture Grilled chicken breast, grilled ribeye, jumbo shrimp, roasted pulled pork, spicy chorizo sausage, onion and peppers sizzling on a plate. Sounds good doesn't it? That is because it is freakin awesome. Still not convinced? Ok then listen up. Sure all those meats sound delicious, but do they taste good? Hell yes they do. There is only one place where I have found a fajita with this much variety and this much flavor and it was in MS. You know you're not going there so what are you waiting for? Trust your boy. PS - Available on Door Dash.

    This place gets five stars for the service alone! Ok, not really, you gotta have the eats(they do!). What a great staff here; kudos for being such amazing hosts. Our drinks were always filled, the food was served hot, all special requests were honored with alacrity. Great meal! The salsa is chunky, too much so for my tastes, and there isn't enough cilantro. Still, it was hobbled up on the crispy chips along with some queso for the little queen to dip her crunchy tacos in. The crunchy tacos from the a la carte section of the menu were quite good. And, yes, I tried it dipped in the queso - good call, kid. The Devil's Shrimp tacos were delicious! Three corn tortillas filled with big shrimp, avocado and cilantro, with limes for squeezin'. Mmm, mmm, I will be back for these! Well, until I tasted the wife's Steal Fajita Salad, anyway. Man, was that GOOD! The whole dish came together really well, from the perfectly cooked steak to the grilled veggies (grilled peppers and onions) and crispy salad, along with a yummy dressing. I finished her salad for her and walked out of their whining about how full I was, but wishing there was more. :) We hadn't been here in a while, but the place was full at 9PM on a Friday with only a couple seats open. Great little place, I highly recommend it.

    Didn't have high expectations going in. Got the Street Tacos and was pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff too. Really happy with this spot.

    Father's Day Was trying to think about a great place to take…read moremy father. We ended up here Cannot be more happy that I Chosen this place. Presentation five stars actually, I haven't seen a better presentation than what they had here for drinks and food. Everything came out perfect. like first class presentation perfect! Literally went to a Mexican restaurant the day before spent over $120 and it was not worth it at all......, Spent less here and got way way way more, had to be rolled to the vehicle Lumora is doing something RIGHT.. Found my new place. Thank you Reina

    We went on a Sunday night, party of 4. Atmosphere was nice, the odd holiday tree, the stamped wall…read moretreatment, the lighting fixtures, and the artpieces on the wall set a nice mood. You could tell that they were quite short-staffed. I felt sorry for the servers, as they were moving nonstop. It took a while for the waiter to get our order, and then to get the check to us. Their staffing situation needs to be fixed, and pronto. It really detracted from the experience. We had several appetizers. The bacon wrapped shrimp were presented in an entertaining way, hanging on a rack. They were delicious. The zydeco eggrolls were probably my favorite thing the whole night, excellent excellent excellent. I had a cheeseburger. It was a decent, but a bit too heavy on the salt. My date had the hot honey pepperoni pinsa; I tried a bit, it was great. The other couple dining with us had shrimp and grits, and the catfish. They enjoyed their dishes, complementing the food well, no complaints. All in all, a good meal. Just please fix your staffing situation, Lumora.

    This pizzeria is one of the best I've had in a long time. As soon as you walk into the restaurant…read moreyou're greeted by the staff and escorted to your seats. The restaurant is decorated very nice, some modern touches but gives warehouse vibes with a cute grass wall for photos. The menu has a variety of pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, pastas and wines. I didn't realize what was getting myself into when I ordered the loaded fries as an appetizer the food does take time but it is extremely worth it! The fries came out fresh and hot with a bunch of bacon jalapeños and cheese. The owner was so kind he sent us mozzarella sticks and marinara on the house. For our entrees we ordered a large pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, veggie pizza and chicken Alfredo pasta. Each pizza was so delicious, the sauce was clearly made fresh, the dough was fluffy but crispy it was a great combination. The chicken Alfredo pasta sauce was made fresh along with the pasta sauce. Nothing tasted as if it came from a jar everything was made fresh to order. We all left so full and happy after dinner. Our servers Aubrey and Haley were amazing and gave great recommendations and honest opinions about the menu. I'm excited to try new things on my next trip.

Waitress Demi was outstanding! Food and appetizers came out in a timely fashion. Ambiance- The restaurant itself is beautiful. The waterfall inside is a nice touch. There is nice outside seating. Very great for pic

    Okay, this is my fifth visit here in five months so it's safe to say I'm either a glutton for…read morepunishment or that this place is great. Fortunately, it's the later, by a wide margin. Why you ask? Simple, it's great. My reasons: 1) Every time we've been here the service has been great. Not good, great. We've taken the time to meet/talk to the serving staff and they all have been friendly, attentive, and really good at their jobs. We have also met the owners and they too are lovely people. 2) The setting, given that's it's in a small strip mall is great. They have a large patio, plenty of umbrellas as booths, and multiple water features including a water wall. Inside the restaurant is equally beautiful. This is not Chi-Chis or some place trying to faux up the setting. 3) The food is great. If you are looking for typical Americanized Mexican, Spanish, South American food, this is not your place. If you are instead looking for great food that is more interesting, this is the place. For example, tonight we had a chicharron that looked liked two of biggest fried slices of hog heaven you could hope for. It was amazing! We also had the chimichurri sauce which was slightly different from what we have had in the past but it too was awesome! We even asked for some to go to which they said of course. 3) The portion size of most of what we've had over the five visits have almost always fit the price while things such as the steak fajitas were on the generous side for 2026. Bonus, big bonus- They are very dog friendly so your four legged and well behaved dogs are more than welcome in their spacious outdoor patio. And since the tables (not the booths) are not tightly together it's a good place even for the truly big dogs! That about covers it. So bring your fur baby, have a drink (they have some nice concoctions ) and enjoy a restaurant that recreates so many things from one of the owner's youth. And if you can sit outside, you will enjoy it even more! As always, apologies for my usually long and hopefully epic review. Cheers and happy dining all!
