A roomy dining area and outdoor patio provide plenty of space for patrons looking to enjoy a leisurely meal.

The margaritas may be more famous than anything else on the menu, but the enchiladas, tacos and other Tex-Mex entrees are also nicely prepared.

    The FRESHEST most richly flavored Tex-Mex food ever. I never even liked Tex-Mex until I ate here. The tortillas are made for all to see in a lovely display that adds to the atmosphere of freshness. This restaurant can accomodate a very large number of guests and is still always full for a reason. IT'S GOOD :) This is my newest "date" restaurant.

    For just about the same price as the generic food you'd get from a Ruby Tuesdays, TGIFridays, Macaroni Grill or any of those chain brands you can have an wholly different experience.

    I travel all the way from Alexandria to go to this restaurant!

    One of the best mexican restaurant in the area. I go there to get "Beef Fajita."
    The appetizers are nice too.

    5 stars for being Tex-Mex, but 2 stars for being Mexican. The Mexican half of the cuisine is pure northern Mexican without any of the other regional varieties.
