I've been craving authentic Mexican food lately and we have driven by this restaurant many times…read more So, my wife and I finally tried it and we were not disappointed. The servings are generous portions and the Grande Modelo was ridiculously large for the $9.50 price. I had the Guadalajara Burrito with chicken. It came with a sour crème sauce, guacamole and lettuce. I couldn't finish it and it will be lunch tomorrow. My wife had the "Bistec a la Mexicana" (Mexican style steak), that was recommended by our very attentive server, Santiago. When we asked for no onions in our dishes, the owner's wife, Eileen, came out and explained how the onions are cooked with the steak as it simmers and marinates, we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. And my wife couldn't finish it either. Overall, the atmosphere is welcoming, the food is definitely authentic and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

I have to say I've never given five stars to anything. This place is amazing. They have an terrific variety of authentic Mexican food as well as a wonderful staff. They are quick and extremely well priced. No matter if we dine in or call ahead for takeout. Whether you get an average chicken soft taco or something more substantial like fajitas they never disappoint. It's a great atmosphere for an after work Corona or Bud Light and a couple of tacos with a few coworkers. I've seen kids in there from time to time and they seem to like the food as well as the atmosphere. It's very family friendly and like I said the staff was quite nice. read more

I was visiting some friends in Cape Coral and ran into this little Taco place, it was very clean inside and the girl at the counter was very friendly. I ordered 3 crunchy taco and 1 soft. I wasn't expecting anything great, i was just really hungry and needed something to eat but i was absolutely surprised. I eat Taco's a couple times a week back home and I will say that this place is simple and probably in my top 5 Taco places I have ever been. Love this place and if I ever go back to Cape Coral, I will stop in again. read more

Yuck. That's all I have to say about the food $30 dollars later. The service was weird, the girl who took our order was sweet but the employee on her break, arguing and cursing on her phone with her "boyfriend" having a full blown argument with my four year old sitting right next to me made me so upset. We just walked out. Don't waste your time or money. Trust me! read more

I then made clear I am not eating it and won't pay for something I didn't order that they knowingly served when it wasnt my order. Then another bartender lectures me if you don't order "carne asada" even though the menu says steak in English that's "your mistake and not theirs" lol. They dropped that and then tried to charge my dads meal despite fathers eating free on Father's Day and begrudgingly took it off. just do better, and If you can't read your menu you don't play linguistic games with customers to cheat them is where I stand. Avoid as that's how they treat Father's Day so imagine any other day with that sentiment. Also make sure you get served what you ordered and paid an upcharge for so they don't try to scam you too. I did eventually find another restaurant to eat thankfully and got what I ordered magically lol.

What we liked: The food was very good with generous portions. The chicken fajitas would easily feed three people. I loved the char on the meat and veggies, quite tasty. P. enjoyed the carnitas platter, but he specifically asked if it was topped with anything like avocados, sour cream, etc. and was told no. But, surprise, they put chopped avocado in the salad mix on top. No worries, I scooped it onto my plate. The chips and salsa are quite tasty, but of the three sauces, none was particularly hot and spicy, but they were flavorful. The restaurant is large and decorated very festive with the typical music playing. It was a nice, casual atmosphere. What could be improved: The service and food delivery time. It was about 3:30 on a weekday, there were maybe two other tables of people in the restaurant. It took several minutes for our server to acknowledge us. She was pleasant but not overly friendly. We must have waited 25 minutes or so for our food to be delivered. And during this long wait, our server never approached us. Even if there was only one cook in the kitchen, we think it should have come out quicker. Again, the saving grace was the food itself.
