The parking lot is the gravel lot across the street. Plenty of parking. The chips and salad were great and the salsa wasn't spicy. Very clean dining area. Established in 2023 so newer to the area. Worth checking out.

The chips were good, salsa was bland, but fresh. The service was quite slow and all staff disappeared for a while, making it difficult to pay our bill when we were ready. Don't stop here unless you're absolutely craving Mexican and are staying in the area. They had a wide menu, which was a positive.

Despite growing up in and loving my birthplace, it has not always been a culinary destination. I'm…read morestill not going to pretend it is, but it certainly helps there are new restaurants moving into the area. New restaurants with delicious food. Apparently I'm not the only person fond of this place either since it's usually filled with patrons every time I drive by. And regrettably, I waited until the last night before my departure overseas to visit, because we had a great experience. I won't lie and say this is something unique to Mexican/Latin food, but I will say it's very filling, very good, and very hard to choose between so many delectable options on the menu. My quesadilla was legitimately excellent. I asked to add jalapeños to it, and they obliged. I'm fact, I met some of the people that work there the night prior and intimated my love for all things spicy, and the first thing they did was bring me spicier salsas than the traditional MN palate typically enjoys. The staff here are literally amazing. They are so friendly and accommodating, brought us complimentary drinks out of straight kindness, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our night. Wonderful human beings, and for all the right reasons. Come here and try it. At the very least I think everyone will enjoy the friendly staff. Looking forward to returning.

We had been camping for a couple weeks and just arrived to a nearby cabin for a few days. We ran to…read moretown for some groceries and just didn't want to cook. We saw this place and thought we'd stop in. So glad we did! As someone that doesn't eat meat, I was happy to see a section for vegetarians and I didn't have to order something "without meat". I ordered veggie fajitas. My son said his enchiladas were like his favorite back home and the other ordered a shrimp dish. He had a hard time figuring out how to eat it, LOL, and I'm no help, but he said it was delicious. The servings were very generous and I had another meal out of mine to heat up at home later. I had ordered a "cadillac" margarita with no salt and got a big margarita with salt. The server brought it back and another one was re-made for me. It may have been the owner behind the bar, not sure, but I was appreciative that they made a new drink and didn't pour it out over the salt into a new glass. I never understand why bartenders think that's ok if you don't want salt. He then delivered it to me personally. I'm not sure there was any grand marnier in it, but it was delicious and appreciate the service! I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area. They seem to know the regulars, treated us out of towners kindly, and it's very clean! Great food and portions too!
