The vegetarian fajita vegetables included mushrooms which we enjoyed and all were cooked to perfection. The nachos (we opted for chips on the side) were piled high with tasty toppings. The chorizo-pollo was lightly chargrilled to perfection with a generous serving of cheese. The gringos tacos were flavorful and the tortillas were soft. We thoroughly enjoyed all our items and the service was exceptional. We would definitely return.

Alma took such great care of us, making us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. We ordered the shredded chicken chimichanga and the enchiladas verdes, and both were packed with flavor, fresh, and clearly made with love. And can we talk about the chips? They should come with a warning label: "Highly addictive. You will keep saying 'just one more' until the basket mysteriously disappears." If you're passing through, do yourself a favor--skip the chains and stop here instead. Sometimes the smallest places leave the biggest memories, and this one absolutely did.

We had planned on going to a popular Korean restaurant in town but they were short-staffed and…read morebarely acknowledged as we came through the door, so we left and decided to come here instead. Nice save. Parking when they're busy is a bit much but we found a spot around the corner from the door and walked to the entrance. You walk through their outside dining area which is all covered but because it had just rained it was a bit muggy for us so we opted to sit inside. The place has multiple floors and I really like that set up. We were sat upstairs on the second floor right by the top of the stairs. Looking around you can see another floor with a reserved area, tvs showing sports, and their salsa bar, more on that later. No chips and salsa here. Chips and Charro Bean Dip. The beans tasted refried and charred if that makes sense. I lost at rock, paper, scissors so I had to go visit the salsa bar and bring back dips to try. They had some pretty good ones like their homemade chipotle dressing, salsa verde, salsa de molcajete, etc. There wasn't one that we didn't like. Our server was really great and took care of us well. I got a Tamarindo Margarita and to eat the Enchiladas Poblanas (chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, queso fresco, raw onions) with the normal side of refried beans and rice, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and guac. I got a side of extra cheese because I'm a little rat and dumped it on them. The mole sauce really hit the spot. The last time I had it the sauce was kinda bland but this gave such a nice sweet and earthy flavor. He got the Molcajete Azteca (lava rock bowl with char-grilled chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, queso fresco, grilled cactus, onions, avocados, serrano peppers, pork rinds), same sides as my dish. He ''Oooh-ed" and "Ahhh-ed" and "Oh my God, this is so good" so you know he was a happy guy. I can see what all the hype is about. Definitely a place to visit.

Denied Service So I…read morewas excited to show my family this restaurant because it was good the last time I went to see the Mexico soccer game there, it was about an hour till close 10 o'clock and they close at 11 on a Friday, once we went inside, the hostess looked at us with a worried face and told us that the kitchen was backed up an hour, and that they close in an hour pretty much insinuating that we should leave. I've never been denied service as a restaurant, but it definitely felt that way. When I used to work at restaurants we would take people until closing time. I understand it's not ideal but if you aren't going to take more people you might as well turn off the "open" sign. If it's 10:00am don't go here. Yes even on Fridays.

My mother-in-law enjoyed her meal (also fantastic) everything was cooked fresh and made in house I could tell that much Why not 5 stars?

I will definitely give them another shot & see how another dish goes! I want to support small businesses so please try them for yourself! I have been spoiled by living in Arizona. Call in advance for seating as it is a small hole-in-the-wall with limited space but nice little restaurant!

We were pleasantly surprised by the prompt service and delicious food. It is a simple restaurant with simply good food plus the owners/wait staff were welcoming. The salsa and chips were really good. So good we ate it all.... Typically we eat a few then stop but not here. I ordered the #13 which consisted of two enchiladas, rice, and beans. My partner ordered the plate of four enchiladas. According to him it was really really good. I was amazed how huge the cups for water are. Very smart and highly efficient. No waiting for someone to refill your water. Never saw that before. Will I stop by again? I sure will when I am driving in the area. Gringos and gringas will find this place welcoming. The food is worth it. I highly recommend.

F…read more We were skeptical to go based on reviews here, but there are more recent ones on Google that were positive, so we decided to give it a try. The guy working was polite enough. The chips were hot and the salsa decent. Guacamole was gross. Rice was bland and not at all traditional Mexican rice. And once again, American cheese in the quesadilla! Grateful it was mainly on the edge, so we could still eat the chicken untouched by a poor excuse for cheese, especially in a quesadilla. Normally, the cheese not being evenly melted throughout the quesadilla would upset me, but I was happy this time so I could actually eat something that didn't taste like American cheese. The chicken was actually halfway decent and the tortilla was warm and nice and crispy on the outside. Did I mention there was AMERICAN CHEESE in the quesadilla? You guys. I can't.

In town for the weekend we decided to go out to dinner one night. Being a small town, there…read moreweren't a lot of options that were open (maybe due to COVID). Laredo was just minutes away from us, open for dining in or takeout, and based on reviews we went in. Place was not busy, we got a table as soon as we walked in. They brought us water, the menu and their chips with salsa. They also brought a spicier salsa upon request. The menu has everything you expect from a Mexican restaurant: quesadillas, tacos, fajita, enchiladas... Something for everyone. We were going to order to go but when I saw they had queso fundido I had to order it and of course eat there as this is always best when immediately out of the oven. Well, that was disappointing and why I had to take away one star. The chorizo tasted and looked like it was from a can, and the queso, definitely not "real" cheese. We had to send it back, and thankfully our server was very gracious about it and took it off our check. Not only that, his friendly and attentive service did not change toward us. He kept checking up on us, recommended certain dishes and made sure drinks were to our liking and offering to change them if not. For dinner I got one of his recommendations, the shrimp fajitas and that was really good! Lots of roasted vegies, which I always love. On the side all the condiments: sour cream, lettuce, pico de gallo, chease and guace. Plus a side of delicious rice and refried beans. And, of course, warm tortillas. I was very happy with this and the portion. Enough I was full and shared with my boyfriend. He got the Burrito Frito with steak and the meat was cooked perfectly. Not dry or tough and good flavor. Good option in Lake Butler, with excellent service!

Greeted and sat right away- 5 of us. Hostess nice, server nice. Right away had two large bowls of chips and two types of salsa brought to us. Chips were good, just added salt. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. And we were patient, super patient. It was a Friday, but it was not overly crowded, like I said - seated immediately around 7:40. Drinks, took over 30 minutes for a pineapple one and three skinny- we joked the food would arrive first, but we were very wrong. Then, the waitress waited for us to try- I think it was a newer person at the bar. We tried to like it, but somehow it tasted like flat sprite.our server took them away and made us them herself. Now, those were great. Small side of guac was brought after that- meant to go with the meal, but we were so hungry we just ate with the chips. It was very good- fresh tasting. Then we waited. And waited some more. Asked about the food, then waited some more. Finally, we cut our losses and asked for the check minus the food that never came. The band was starting next door and we wanted to celebrate the bday girl. Pic 1, text just after 8pm- shows me joking that I was going to eat my friends food since she was headed over from next door and taking a bit and we had ordered 10 minutes prior. Pic 2, text shows us giving up- 9pm. So over an hour wait on food that never arrived - even if busy that would be a deal breaker. We were excited to try it too- disappointed.
