    I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food to begin with so coming here was definitely out of my normal restaurant choice, but I rallied for a birthday in my party. The service was great and food and drinks all arrived in a timely manner. I would highly recommend trying any flavor of their lemonade! We received chips and salsa immediately after sitting down and since we arrived shortly after their open at 11a, we were taken care of very quickly. I ordered the ground beef quesadilla which was pretty much like any average quesadilla. The Mexican rice was fantastic, though, and probably some of the best I've ever had. I appreciated the food being warm and served extremely fast! The menu is HUGE and it was nice to have plenty of options. Our server was friendly and kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. All in all, for someone who's first choice wouldn't be Mexican, I had a good experience here with the food, service, and atmosphere. I'm giving it 4 stars for receiving what I think is your average entree while still having some features like the rice and lemonade that stood out to me.

    Staff was fantastic this place set a high bar for excellence. We were there about 515-530. Ish. We were a party of 9. They only took like 2 minutes to get us set up for a table. We're were taking them back and sat at a big table. The staff was super attentive and very friendly welcoming and what a great start to dinner. I ordered shrimp tacos. Wow they were delicious. The sauce you get was so good. It was a lil spicy but I kept wanting more. I think someone get enchiladas, burrito, taco , kids fit nuggets even they looks homemade and yummy it was worth it

    Carne asada tacos
    Daniel C.

    Stopped by for dinner with friends. Service was quick and pleasant. The carne asada tacos came in a metal holder which I'm not a huge fan of. They did win my heart with the pickled onions. My son got the chicken quesadilla which appeared simple. The place always appears busy. I typically need to wait up front. We observed several birthday celebrations with dancing , cake, and shots.

    Chicken fajitas
    Natalie W.

    I was in town visiting friend and we wanted Mexican food. They had never been here either so we all were going in blindly. It seems like your typical Mexican restaurant. The service is okay at best. The food was done really fast that we all looked at each other and questioned it. I definitely think they have the food sitting in warmers. I ordered fajitas a there was no sizzle or heat at all. In fact, my rice was warmer than the chicken and veggies for my fajitas. I ordered a pineapple mojito and that was good, but not really worth the money. They offer chips and salsa complimentary- but it needs some more spice. It's so mild that it's boring. Their cheese dip is also quite literally just melted white cheese, no peppers, no seasoning- just plain and boring. I wouldn't recommend, I think there are places in the area with better service and better quality food.

    Birria Chimichanga with rice and beans
    Kim M.

    This was a 3.5 experience. The service from start to finish was amazing. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. There is ample seating: booths, tables, and bar seating. The decor is full of brown and wood tones. The booths are deep and comfortable with tall backs to allow for privacy, which I love. They have outdoor patio seating when the weather and season is appropriate. There are lights strung to allow for a peaceful and energetic vibe for outside dining. The food has excellent flavor. My only issue is, the food was lukewarm.

    Ground beef Piccaditas.
    Cindy G.

    I REALLY adore the Picadittas. They are three little rounds of masa, topped with red or green sauce, then beans, sour cream, onions, cilantro, slice of radish, your choice of protein with sides of rice and salsa. I have had the chicken, shredded beef and the ground beef. Although I usually go for shredded beef or chicken in Mexican dishes, these just seem to taste better with ground beef. The service is always excellent and the atmosphere is cheery. My own personal preference is to not have the music so loud, but that's just me. I bring earplugs.

    Margarita Flight
    Keto K.

    Been waiting to come here for a while. Nice location, lots of parking and seating. The place smelled amazing. The interior looked authentic. Our waiter was super nice. But the salsa was not good to me, unfortunately. The chunks of onions overpowered the flavor, and the chips were cold and too thick for my liking. I dislike nothing more than cold tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant. If I wanted cold chips, I could open my own bag of tortilla chips at home, lol. The menudo was hot and fresh but it lacked all of the toppings - it was just cow stomach and broth. The menudo lacked flavor. The margarita and the margarita flight were delicious and strong but expensive compared to other Mexican restaurants.

    Mango Margarita
    Penny B.

    Went here for a Monday night dinner to celebrate a birthday. The food was great! We got a veggie quesadilla and chicken enchiladas. The portions are pretty big and got us very full! We asked for some hot salsa on the side and it was VERY spicy. The mango margarita was really yummy as well. Got it with a tajin rim. It was also pretty strong! The service was alright. Not many times when the servers came to check on us which would've been nice since we were wanting to request the spicy salsa for a while. The restaurant itself is pretty nice. There's booths and tables for seating. A beautiful mural of fruits and vegetables is right on the middle wall :)

As an avid lover of Mexican food, my boyfriend has been searching high and low for a place that he can frequent for a good meal.

Our waitress was friendly and prompt with checking on us before and after we ordered, and we were quickly settled in while waiting for our meals. I haven't had a lot of experience with Mexican cuisine, but I love birria and wanted to try that here; as for my boyfriend, he got a chimichanga. We were immediately impressed at the portion sizes when the food came out - everything looked amazing! And honestly, these are the best I've had so far. They were crisp, filled with meat and cheese, and so flavorful. My partner was also very satisfied with his food, saying that this would probably become his favorite spot in town. We'll definitely come back to try more of their enormous menu!

This is easily one of the top Mexican joints in all of Fort Wayne. It's a huge restaurant that was surprisingly dead for lunch, granted it was a Monday. It's a nicely decorated place, the service was friendly and really fast (food was out in less than 10 minutes), and the food was simply awesome. Their chips and salsa are outstanding... I could literally drink the salsa. You get a ton of food for the lunch portion (way too much to eat in one setting), so I can only imagine the size of their dinner portions. $30 for lunch (2 people) is a steal in today's restaurant price-gouging times. CDM might be our new "go to" Mexican joint, and it's certainly our favorite on the NE side of town.

We sat there and looked around but no one stopped over. There was a 6 top, 3 top, and 4 top there. The restaurant was pretty empty. So we left and the hostess who sat us said "have a nice night, and I told her no one ever came over" The chips were fresh but that's all we received. The restaurant was dead and quiet. There was no reason no one waited on us.

Wow, very nice and also delicious. Their menu is amazing. Wide array of Mexican seafood dishes. They also have some non seafood options if needed. But when you see a seafood heavy menu at a restaurant, you *really* should get it. I focused on their new menu of shrimp dishes. They included head-on shrimp, in the shells. I wasn't sure I wanted to work for my meal and get messy. But damn, that Camarones al Cilantro (shrimp with cilantro) looked fantastic. I hemmed and hawed and decided I would order it along with some guacamole to get some vegetable material in me. When it came it was piping hot. Couldn't eat it, so focused on the guac for a bit. As the shrimp cooled I went to town on what may have been the messiest meal of my life. (Do NOT order unpeeled shrimp if you are on a first date or a job interview) Let me tell you - these shrimp were unbelievable. They were swimming in sauce and as I peeled them, i then dipped and chowed. The cilantro/chili/garlic? sauce was off the charts good. The onions and cucumber buried within it were also a nice discovery as I made my way through this mountain of a full pound of shrimp. It took a while and the sauce dripped down to my elbows at times. It was a caveman eating experience and it was probably the best Mexican dish I have ever eaten. It was probably a good thing I was eating alone. I don't see any other way to eat this unless you're a psychopath crunching through shrimp shells. But leaving those shells on keeps the shrimp moist as they cook and more importantly it keeps the shrimp flavor from cooking off into the sauce. Shrimp with the shell on do taste better - they are not just being lazy here. This meal was great and I would love to go back if I'm driving through again. Thank you for this!
