    Molcajete and an Ultimate Margarita
    Colin F.

    Might have been one of the best dishes I've had at a Mexican restaurant in a LONG time. The Molcajete was definitely enough for two people. Made about 6 tacos out of the contents and had half of it left. So good.

    First, I will mention that our server was sub-par. She just didn't come close to being good at her job. Failed in so many ways that it would take an entire paragraph to describe. So I will set that aside and chat about the overall experience of the restaurant and food. We went on a Friday night around 6pm and the venue was about 90% full. The outside seating was preferred, but every table was occupied. That's a nice option to sit outside nest to the river for a meal and drink. Inside had TVs and music. Small bar with a decent amount of seating. Nice feel to the restaurant. We ended up in the rear of the restaurnt which wasn't the best as the rest room was right around the corner. So heavy traffic to/from the rest room. Sigh... To the food: We orded a basic ground beef burrio and a chimichangas plate. Plus guacamole as an apetizer. The guac was over whipped/prepared. It was like a puree. Not good. Soupy. Overall taste wasn't good either. I should have returned it to the kitchen looking back at the experience. It's one of those moments where you're hungy and you just eat something, but you shouldn't. Send it back. No excuses. The burrio and chimi were average. Just blah. Barely average. My hopes were pretty high for this joint, but we came away unimpressed. If Yelp allowed half stars, my review would be a 2.5 star, but I'll be gracious and go with a 3 stars due to the venue feel and outside sitting. I did see some staff hustling, so let's give credit there. Our server didn't pass muster, but we noticed others were busting tail. If in Lowell or surrounding areas, I might look for other options for my mexicna dinner. If you're looking for a drink, maybe this spot is good enough to sit outside or maybe at the bar.

    First of all, this was absolutely amazing. My family wanted to eat here but I didn't really want to because I thought it would be bad. I was wrong. I had a plain hamburger with fries and it was great, the burger bun has sesame seeds which just makes it better! The menu was also very diverse. The service was also great, they were pretty fast and friendly. The ambiance was nice, I enjoyed the music. Irrelevant side note, but I opened Pokemon Go here and remembered that it was Goomy Community Day...the first Goomy I clicked was shiny!

    This place is a hidden gem. It has the typical Mexican restaurant feel but the food, drinks and…read moreservice are above par. The staff was friendly and our waitress was friendly, talkative and fun. She definitely added to our experience. I hope we get her again the next time we go. The place is clean and large enough for 2-10 people in a group. They have typical booths, tables and is spaced out enough that you don't feel too crowded. The food was delicious! We got something with a bed or Mexican rice covered in chicken and queso. It came with 3 tortilla shells. The flavor was amazing and the portions were more than enough for two of us to share. Our friends got the burritos and they said it was one of the best they had. Now the drinks! Wow! They have a sangria margarita that will go down way too smoothly and warm you up right away. So good! We are definitely going back for those! Can you tell from all the exclamation points how good it was? LOL. We will be back and I hope that your experience is just as good.

This is the kind of place I happily go to when I want a good meal, a decent deal, great margaritas, but no extreme frills. This is just a great spot

The establishment is in a strip business setup. They do have two doors but one says use other door so look for the sign. When you get inside the decor is beautiful, bright and clean. I appreciate that. We were greeted with a big smile and seated promptly in the bar area (our request). My husband asked for the Margarita with a beer as a kicker, I had the ultimate Margarita 47 Oz. These are incredible and hit the spot Everytime. My husband enjoys the quesadilla El rancho. I had the corn steak tacos with cilantro and onion meal that comes with beans and rice. When seated they bring a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. There is a charge if you want extra chips and salsa. The bathrooms are clean and well tended. The facility is well lit, smelled good and comfortable. Great place for groups. Staff super friendly. English was good but mostly Spanish speaking. No issues with communication, food or drinks so it's all good. Bill was around $70.00

This time I had the fajitas pina and it was a literal TON of food that I could barely eat. Chorizo, steak and chicken with grilled pineapple and a lot of green peppers - try good. I'll be back next year.
