    Upon entering this restaurant in Mebane, North Carolina, a female waitress greeted us and asked the…read moreusual questions that customers are accustomed to hearing. As my friend and I followed behind her to be seated, I began to notice that she was leading us away from everyone else and toward an isolated area near the bar. What immediately stood out to me was that no one else was seated there, and neither of us drinks. At the same time, I could clearly see several empty tables available in the front dining area where all of the Caucasian customers were seated. As an African American woman, I felt confused, saddened, and deeply uncomfortable. It was difficult not to question why we were being separated from everyone else. With respect, I explained to the waitress that I did not want to sit "in the back" and politely asked if we could be seated in the same area as the other guests. She appeared visibly annoyed and stated that she would have to go ask someone. At that moment, I had no desire to argue or create a confrontation. No one should have to feel unwelcome or question whether they are being treated differently while simply trying to enjoy a meal. Rather than endure further embarrassment or discomfort, my friend and I quietly chose to leave. It was frustrating to experience something that made me feel unseen and separated while spending my money just like every other customer. I am not my ancestors, and I refuse to accept being made to feel hidden, excluded, or less deserving because of the color of my skin. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality!

    A very nice dinner experience. Very nice authentic atmosphere. The service is fast and on point…read more The shrimp taco salad, shrimp fajitas, Tommy salad and chicken fajitas are delicious and big portions.

    I don't give many fives on a first visit and my overall first experience was a very pleasant…read moresurprise that delivered excellent fresh food, great margarita and service in very colorful atmosphere . We chose the place because it was close by where we were doing business in the area. From the outside I figured your run of the mill Mexican in a strip mall . As soon as we entered and seated by the friendly host we enjoyed the day of dead decor. We settled on a citrus shrimp dish served in a cast iron dish which was different, fresh, that includes a side salad that was filled with fresh veggies and rice to accompany the shrimp with warm tortillas. The daily special margarita was excellent and tasted better than expected for a daily special. I will make the 40 minute drive to return very soon.

We will definitely be back there again whenever we are in the Mebane area. Only thing I can say in the negative was all the wait staff was huddled up in a booth staring at there phones the whole time we where there. Our waitress who took good care of us was one of those in the booth. It didn't make any difference to us but some people would think that they were just sitting there not doing anything. Also they revamped the menu. Very nice and colorful. Still highly recommended you give them a try.

    Since moving back to the greater Greensboro area, this has been my go to Mexican restaurant. I'm…read morepretty picky when it comes to Mexican food because I've been spoiled with very authentic offerings in other states and across Mexico and usually find super American Tex Mex underwhelming. I love this spots because it caters to both the authentic and American Tex Mex pallet through its offerings. The only downside is that there is not an authentic house made mole dish which I am a sucker for! My go to dish is the Enchiladas Americanas with shredded chicken....I know I know, I just said I prefer authentic but who doesn't love a little American queso cheese sauce on their dish??? What enhances the dish is the green and red salsa that both have amazing flavors and you can tell they are made from scratch in house. The red is my go to because the flavor is very homey and comforting but when I want a bit of a kick I get green! The service is always great and welcoming. I've also had a Valentine's cocktail here which was very good (they have standard and seasonal beverage offerings)! Highly recommend checking out if you are in the area!

    I've had this place bookmarked for a while...sadly the bookmark is getting removed…read more The good: We were quickly seated and had our choice between a booth or table. We luckily beat the Sunday after church rush too because there was a bit of a wait 30 minutes after we came. For my entree I ordered the lunch special pastor burrito. The burrito was a nice size for lunch. The green sauce had a nice flavor and a bit of heat that the sour cream helped to calm. The pork was marinated very well, was plentiful, and the mandatory pastor pineapple was a nice touch as always. The bad: Salsa, chips, and Mexican rice were bland. The guac on my husband's plate was missing a hint of lime and salt The ugly: Service.....Actually what service?!? The waitress never came back after taking our order. Also, when ordering, I accidentally dropped my straw right by the waitress's feet. I am very visibly pregnant, so bending over to grab anything on the floor is a challenging workout. Instead of offering me another or picking it up for me (it was still wrapped), she just stared at it. I braced myself on the table to pick it up and almost flipped the table (water spilled and items went sliding). Instead of looking in shock, offering to help clean up the water or even laugh, she gave me the Gen Z stare..... this should have been our warning sign for the non existent service that was to come. My main lunch entree was 4 stars (sadly can't say the same for the sides or my husband's), but the service... I honestly should subtract more than 1 star but feeling more generous than they were with their service ;)
