    Passion fruit margarita with a mexi salad bowl in the background
    Alyssa M.

    My family and I really enjoy this place! We have yet to get food that is not great. Today I tried the maxi salad bowl and the chicken was so tender and juicy, the veggies were perfect and I struggled to stop eating because it was so delicious but is a pretty large portion of food. I also got a passion fruit margarita and I loved that too! The staff is always so friendly and helpful with recommendations and fast service even when they are busy. It's always clean but is sometimes a bit chilly (bring a little sweater if you get cold easy). I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    amazing food, music, and prices - quick service, and great drinks!! will definitely be back.

    The food here is wonderful. Large menu. I had the quesabirria. Our waitress Norma was very beautiful snd kind. The price was more then reasonable and the atmosphere was nice.

    I wish I could tell you the name of what this was, but I can't. It's braised brisket in a fried taco shell that you pour the broth over.

    We met some people here for supper. We were immediately greeted and seated. We were not rushed to order and our server took the time to explain the menu to us. Our food was AMAZING! It was one of the best meals we've had in Dothan. All of us ordered the same dish, braised brisket in a fried tortilla smothered with a flavorful broth. OMG! The signs on the wall, ....well...a translation app in your friend.

    Empanadas Camarone

    The Empanda Camorone's were delicious and the verde sauce with them was terrific as well with just the right kick! Service was wonderful as well. Oh and if you haven't ever been you will love the atmosphere and music. My waitress Alejandra was amazing as well. I came when they first opened this location and it's just as good as I remembered.

The hostess seated us within 5-7 minutes of arriving but we did arrive around 5 pm and I suggest this unless you are prepared to wait. The place looked clean and the noise level was medium. The seafood platter I had was cooked to perfection and well balanced with taste. I will get again. One friend had the shrimp and grits and she said it was the best she had ever had. My other friend had the prime rib and he said it was moist and he would have it again. The crab claws we had as an appetizer were out of this world! Fried to perfection and hot. Kudos to all and we will return! Merry Christmas and a successful New Year!

Now, it's run down and not good at all. I ordered gumbo and it was filled with tiny crab claws, I fished out about 10 before giving up and not eating any more. The lettuce on Ceasar salad was old. We also ordered the chicken fettuccine and it came with frozen processed chicken, we knew the chicken wasn't grilled, it was chicken pieces from frozen packaging. The worst part is I got violently sick the moment we got home, and the next morning, my partner was also sick. I highly do NOT recommend this restaurant.

    We stopped here years ago and hoped the food was still the same. It might even be better than…read morebefore. We started with a bowl of gumbo. It was loaded with little bites of sausages, chicken, shrimp, and scallops. All those proteins were nestled with just the right amount of spices in a rich broth with onions and tomatoes. A nice helping of rice topped off the dish nicely. We shared the grilled catfish fillets. You have an option of one, two, or three fillets. We opted for three for only $21. The filets were good size and nicely grilled with a bit of blackening seasoning. The meal came with a single trip to the salad bar and a side. The salad bar has several options of pasta salads, chopped lettuce with toppings, and a sweet slaw. We chose the blackened new potatoes as our other side. We thought that they were really good. Bread options included: hush puppies, cheese, bread, or yeast rolls. The hush puppies were a little overdone. So we were able to get an order of the cheese bread. Which is large yeast rolls with cheddar cheese, baked in the top. They were really good. The servers are friendly and never seemed to stop moving. The seating is basic older restaurant booths and tables which are comfortable. They offer interesting sayings at each table such as... "I'm not saying it's your fault. I said I'm blaming you." They have a full bar and lounge. Side note-the parking lot is huge and has plenty of room for vehicles towing trailers.

    Wait staff very friendly and attentive - would like to see salad bar items expanded. Food…read moreexcellent and reasonably priced.

    September 20, 2020…read more Never thought of traveling but my heart convinced me otherwise. Explored around Burlington coat factory to get some things. We got hungry and decided to go to the food court. Not much was open but I happened to noticed this little joint and thought "hey.. let's try this out!" They will say it's gonna take 15-20 minutes but let me assure you.. it will take at LEAST a good FULL HOUR before your order gets out. Do not believe them if they say it's gonna take 15 minutes unless you multiply it by four. So when you decide to come here. Make sure you have your time planned out! Here is what I recommend.. Do not come here hungry or you will be hANGRY! [Its okay to have a snack ready to much on.] 1. Take your order. 2. Then go have fun window shopping around the mall and set an alarm an hour from the time you have ordered. 3. Once your alarm has gone off or you have noticed that an hour has passed. Patiently walk your hungry self over to see if your order is ready. Ask them what is available because most of their dishes are not there anymore. It's a bit pricey because.. you know... it's seafood! The wait might just be worth it? Ehh.. yeah, just might be haha. We received the order about an hour and fifteen minutes after paying. There was so much food! We thought we wouldn't be able to finish it all but we killed it! They put the perfect amount of flavor into their dishes! I was amazing how good it was! No condiments necessary. Tastes better than most "fancy" restaurants I've gone to. This spot has given me a whole new standard of how seafood is suppose to taste like. Oh but make sure to bring your own wet naps because your hands just might get messy! Service! The workers are nice and it seems like they are all friends or family within but I just wish they didn't lie about how long it would take for the food to come out. Also make it clear when asked what they have. Make it simple and say YES or NO. Do not confuse me with explanations please! "Do you have tartar sauce?" "Yes or sorry we do not have tarter sauce." Do not say " Oh we have hot sauce and ketchup if you like and we will be making tartar sauce soon" The food is delicious! It amazed me! Just be honest about the time and what you actually have. Sorry for the rant but I have to make this clear so it does not happen to any of your other hungry customers. Looking forward to coming back here to enjoy the food next time I visit this lovely state!
