I love trying new restaurants and have had this place on my radar for a while…read more We decided on a whim to try them on a Saturday night in the summer. We got right in with no wait. There was live music in the main dining room consisting of one singer singing Latin music. We were each given a tablet with the menu, which was pretty awesome. It took us a long time to decide what we wanted because we were enthralled by the extensive menu with all of the photos on the tablet. I decided to order a cocktail and my husband got the horchata while my mom got an unsweetened iced tea. They have a full bar with a ton of specialty drinks. My drink arrived with flower petals adorned to the side of the glass. We also received complimentary chips with salsa and salsa verde. As an appetizer we decided to do the taquitos. I love taquitos so I was excited, and the presentation was great. However when we bit into them we noticed they were just pieces of chicken breast rolled in tortillas and fried. No seasoning. No cheese, nothing mixed in. I was surprised. The taquitos I've had in the past are made with shredded chicken and potatoes with cheese. These were lacking flavor and dry. I wanted to love them so much but I just couldn't. For our entrees, I did the chimichanga mixto which was a chicken and beef chimichanga. They were on the smaller side but plenty for one person. The filling was mixed with salsa but again felt bland. They were serviced with a side of rice. My mom got the pina loka, which was grilled shrimp, chicken, and steak with onions and peppers inside a pineapple. Hers was very good. My husband got the La Jeño mix which had chicken shrimp and steak with cheese sauce, rice, and veggies. The flavor of his was pretty good as well. We skipped dessert, but the menu was extensive with all your Mexican favorites plus items like chicken parm. They also have a full breakfast menu. The music was very loud for the small dining area if you wanted to have a conversation, but the singer was doing his thing. We made sure to tip him on our way out. The servers checked on us frequently and service overall was good, I just wish the food wowed us more because I so wanted this to be our new fave.

The business is all hand painted with authentic Mexican murals and clean. We met the manager, Angel, who was very pleasant and tentative. Our portions were large and tasty. My friend, who is Mexican and knows Mexican cuisine, enjoyed it and said it was authentic. The only thing is they have live music, where I found it difficult to converse with everyone.

New Mexican place that just opened up in town and we had to try it! Not the best location in Echo…read morePlaza ... where it's weird on the side with parking in the front. Prices are also a bit on the high side ... but guess it's on point when there's really no competition in town. We decided to order some take out that was ready quickly and it was pretty good. Carnitas and chicken burritos were a good size and came with 2 sides. My steak tacos were street-style with lettuce/tomato/cheese as extra but also came with 2 sides - especially liked the street corn too! Also got a chicken empanada that was very flavorful - might try a different one next time. May want to consider double stacking the corn tortillas on the tacos (especially at that price) ... as they were almost falling apart when a bit of liquid hit them, but all in all a good experience ... we'll be back!

When speaking with the manager about the fact that the dish wasn't what I expected and i didn't like how it tasted she took the position of telling me i'm wrong, that the menu says it's exactly as described.

Excellent new Mexican place! We tried the lengua tacos, chicken enchiladas, tamales, and horchata…read more My fav was the lengua tacos. The lengua was super flavorful, the tortilla was the perfect texture and had good corn flavor, and the onions provided just the right amount of sweet and crispy contrast. Portion size of enchiladas was very generous and the tamales were freshly made (only available on Saturdays)! The service was very friendly. The restaurant does get a bit smoky when they're cooking the meat, but the interior is nice. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!

I have to start by saying, I'm diverting from my usual Yelp format for this one. I'm not annoyed…read moreI'm writing this review. I'm not annoyed that my food took way longer than I was told. I'm not annoyed that I understand why...because 3 really nice women were working like crazy in what was certainly a crazy Cinco de Mayo. I'm annoyed with myself that I said "this food had better be spectacular for this wait". And I'm glad to say....it's sure as hell was spectacular. The wait was understandable. It was Cinco de Mayo. Anyone from this area knows that no one does that holiday like Williamstown. Just kidding, we are so out of to much we celebrate the holiday in March. That being said, they were slammed. Like, slammed. Overworked, crushing it with their determination, the only thing I would recommend is being a little more up front with wait times. Trust me, people aren't going anywhere if you serve food like this. Fortunately, I live close by so the back and forth wasn't an issue. The food....was incredible. I mean, tender chicken. Seasoned perfectly. Fresh lettuce and tomato. Rice that was fluffy, sticky, and flavorful. I even loved the beans. The nachos were huge and plentiful with the right stuff and not the chip stuff. The chicken enchiladas were outstanding. The rice was so delicate and delicious. I'm not even sure what I ordered but the green salsa let you know who was boss. I gained 5 pounds eating a quarter of that stuff, and I can't wait to pack on some more pounds when I eat it for breakfast. This place is a gold mine. Can't wait to go back.

Unfortunately this was a working lunch so had to have raspberry tea. It wasn't bad. May have had two. Yep I did. I ordered us a candied bacon to start and then I had the tuna poke salad. The bacon was delicious but some was a bit charred. I still ate it cause it was delicious just a bit charred on the ends . Now the Tuna poke salad was interesting. Not a typical poke bowl. Very tasty and yes it and the bacon filled me up. The rice said it was a coconut rice. Well it is. I tasted in the first bite and it was pleasantly different. Service was great just soft spoken. Too many years around construction equipment other things that don't help hear in a restaurant. I would love to come back in the evening so I could enjoy one of their list of adult beverages. Next time I will try and not stay away so long.

I ordered the Gator Tater Burrito and Bowl, which comes with roasted potato hash, black beans, queso, tortilla crisps, Gator sauce (medium), and pico de gallo. I swapped the grilled mesquite chicken for blackened fish, and honestly, it was better than anything I've had from Chipotle or Moe's. The service was solid--nothing over the top, but efficient and respectful. Exactly what you want. The place itself was quiet, with only one other table occupied, and even they were SUPER quiet, which made for a really relaxed atmosphere. Overall, this was a great surprise stop. I'd definitely come back and order something with their HOT gator sauce because the medium wasn't hot at all.
