“ The food was amazing, the perfect amount of spice to keep your taste buds happy. The authentic drink menu left us undecided which drink was the best! The staff were polite, great at their recommendations, and responsive with anything we needed. The atmosphere was fun and festive. We definitely will be going back. ”
“ Absolutely loved this place. The wife and I came here for me to take on their massive 7lb Hay Caramba food challenge (which I just barely beat with a few seconds to spare!). The wait staff was awesome, food was amazing, vibe was cool. Their green sauce they smother on some of the burritos is sooo good. Would love to come back for a “normal” meal. ”
“ This was my first visit to the new location in Downtown Ionia. I don't know why I waited so long, but after such a wonderful experience and meal, I can guarantee I will be returning often! My Steak and Grilled Chicken Fajitas were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Having a full service bar at the new location truly adds to the experience. Everyone in our large group of 14 that ordered a Margarita absolutely raved about them! Our server handled the large group with only a couple small hiccups, which were quickly rectified to everyone's satisfaction. He was very professional and pleasant to everyone. I can't wait to take my wife and adult children there often in the future. ”
“ The food is amazing. Everything had great flavor. Not expecting this. So very happy about this. The margarita tasted amazing but I didn’t taste any alcohol in it. My only sad point. I am impressed and will be coming back! ”
“ We had a great time here! We had a vegetarian fajitas for two! Traditional margaritas for five dollars! They were very attentive! A beautiful restaurant! ”
“ There are a lot of great Mexican restaurants in Michigan but as a San Diegan this place hits the spot. Fresh ingredients. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. ”
“ Love the food here, seems so authentic and tastes so good! Also love the wall decor and the booths and tables which have three dimensional pictures. Plus the people are wonderful! ”
“ My fiancee and I went here on cinco de mayo, it was lovely. The staff were very friendly, and the food was great! Highly recommend! ”
