This Mexican restaurant has a very different feel than most of your traditional Mexican…read morerestaurants. It didn't have all the Spanish decor and music playing. It has a very open dining room and accent lights along the walls. We had a young man named Jackson as our server. He seemed a bit timid but provided great service. He made suggestions on dishes and made sure we had what we needed as the meal progressed. My friend, who has frequented this place before stated that their menus were new. I have included photos of the food menus. For me, they weren't very user friendly or organized well. Either way, we figured it out. The dishes were generous in portions and very very delicious! I had the meal #44 which is the Naked Pablano Pepper which I got with chicken. My friend took Jackson's recommendation of the #32 which is the Plato de Carnitas. Great experience. Would definitely come back!

It's a strip mall with two large open rooms that could fit a large crowd if needed. At first glance at the menu some items were a little pricy but it was lunch time so we were able to order from the lunch section that had some good deals. Apps were great! Good Salsa, guacamole, queso but chips were on point! Not too thin or thick, held up to the dips and tasted great. Hubby got a steak burrito similar to a fajita style burrito. It was tasty. One son and I ordered different items from the lunch pick 4 for $12.95. The shredded beef quesadillas, shredded chicken Flauta, beef tostada, chicken tamale and Chile Relleno were are favorites and the burrito and rice were tasty too. Our other son order shrimp enchiladas and there were 3 small shrimp in each of the two enchilada. He said it tasted good but needed more especially for the price. It appeared seafood was over priced and minimal per serving. We look forward to visiting this place again when be travel to Montgomery!

So, if you want to just nibble on something, go with a small. HOWEVER!!!!! I believe chips and salsa should be complimentary at a Mexican restaurant, but they are not here. :/ As predicted, I ordered the chicken fajitas, which actually comes with a nice-sized dollop of guac! The spread took over the whole table with the lettuce, tortillas and grilled chicken. Surprisingly, it didn't come on a sizzling pan. I want to note that there's a cute outdoors patio, but it's a bit tight. The tables are really close together, so conversations were heard by everyone, which is fine.

I checked Yelp beforehand and noticed some pretty negative reviews, but after eating here, I honestly have no idea why. I had a fabulous experience! The food was great and very reasonably priced. I ordered the enchiladas verde, half chicken and half beef, and the portion was huge. They also bring complimentary chips and salsa, and the salsa was really good. My waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful. He took the time to help me decide what to order and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The service was top-notch. It definitely has a lively Mexican bar atmosphere, but I thought that was part of the charm. Great food, generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service--especially when you need a good meal later in the evening. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend this place to my fellow business travelers!

Chips and salsa came very quick and before we knew it, Jose was on the scene and took care of us like family. I only wish Jose was employed at my local Mexican restaurant because he made the night! Food was great which we ordered grilled chicken chimichangas w/beans & rice. Always go with grilled chicken versus shredded chicken...way more flavorful. Beans and rice were your classic staple that were made as expected Grilled chicken tacos were on point and had the right mix of toppings which strangely some Mexican places don't always get right For a late night quick meal in the South where places don't often stay open late, we were glad to stumble across this restaurant and we'll be back before we leave town. But THE hero was Jose, dinner and a show....trust me...to the locals, you have a true gem and hope you take care him. Loved that guy!

I wasn't a fan of the tacos so for this review I'll focus strictly on the fried chicken and I must say the fried chicken is off the chain. It's thick, juicy and just the right amount of heat and flavor. The fries show up and show out as well. The blend of Mexican-southern spices is faint and addictive. I've definitely added this to places I know I can trust to stop by and get some good chicken. Highly recommend

This included the pimento cheese board, wedge salad, entree, and small dessert. It is a tiny bit pricey for the size of the entrees, but was worth it for the private space, service, and quality.
