The place is decorated with beautiful artwork including hand painted chairs and tables. Our server was expedient as was the food service. We were greeted with chips and salsa and I'd give the salsa a gold star for a mild/medium flavor. Pro tip to ask for spicy salsa as well as we added that to spice it up! My husband had the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and they were good but it helped to add some of the spicy salsa for more flavor. The chicken quesadilla was huge and so good. Perfectly stuffed with cheese and chicken and accompanied by refried beans and rice. And my kiddo had the smaller child version which was great. They have a full bar but as we were amid our long drive we opted for Mexican coke and Jarritos but their margaritas looked yummy!

Tremendous food at a very reasonable price. Well made, and courteously delivered. Highly recommend!…read moreWill almost certainly eat here again the next time I'm hungry near Saint James. Also, very clean. Eating here is a real pleasure!

My biggest takeaway: it's EXPENSIVE. I understand prices in general are up but the quality of their food is not on par with the prices. This is a standard Mexican restaurant trying to charge upscale Mexican prices. The salsa is good, I appreciate individual dishes for everyone at the table. However last time we went, we finished a whole basket of chips before we got a water (much less ordered our drinks.) The servers were more interested in cleaning other tables than waiting on us. Even though it took longer than it should have to order, when we did finally order our food came fast. Margaritas are very average. Everything is average. Not in any hurry to return.

The quality of the food was a plesent surprise, and made it stand out amongst the crowded field of Mexican restaurants in the Mankato area. Most of the time the rice and beans are just there to fill the plate, but these had real flavor and texture. I was blown away by the ground beef in the chimichanga, it was filled with spices that mad me want to ask fro the recipe. Service was good, and drinks were kept full. The overall appearance did not stand out, but the booth was clean and comfortable. 100% will go back.

The waiter brought us water, margaritas, chips and salsa and our food very quickly. We were a large party and they got all of our orders correct. Certain dishes had a nice spice to them. I would consider the rice and beans, very standard for this area, but the main portion of the meal was good. I found the chips and salsa to be tasty. The margarita pitcher tasted as if it came from a Jose Cuervo or equivalent margarita mix, but it was good enough for the occasion.
