First time here. The wait to seat was forever. Once seated the waiter took literally 45 mins to take our order. The mexican rice... was preheated many times that it had hard pieces. My family ordered fajitas which were hard and dry. They never broughttortillas. We had to ask for them. The burritos are HUGE. The chips and salsa was THE BEST. Guacamole was mixed with sourcream(which was good). I also forgot to mention, their bathrooms are horrible. Read more

Nice place to eat on the River Walk. We ordered the Chimichangas. They were very good along with the rice and beans. I loved... it and would recommend getting a bite here. Friendly staff. We ate next to the river which was neat. The ducks line up foryour scraps. Lunch and a couple of beers was nice. Thanks! Read more

The Fajita Plate is awesome. We had it as breakfast for two adults and a child. Lots of meats with grilled pepper and onion. The... tortilla is very fresh too. The price is pretty good for the river view too. Read more

I was impressed by the service including the staff singing our daughter Happy Birthday. The the food portions are a good size. ... The style is definitely more of a Tex-Mex menu. It was tasty. Read more

New to the area and checking out local restaurants, we found one we won't go back to. Restaurant has been around since 1988, and... probably hasn't changed a thing. Felt dirty like it hasn't had a deep clean in years. Ceiling tiles were mismatched and someseemed to have black mold and falling down crumbling. My wife asked if they had Pinot Grigio and the waitress responded "no, weonly have white or red wine". What? I got two margaritas and for the first time ever in my life, the waitress didn't ask if Iwanted it frozen or on the rocks and with or without salt. Food menu wasn't complicated and served relatively quick. BUT thesides of beans had a "cast" or a skin on them like they had been sitting out for a while. I got the two taco meal which the meatwas both dry and greasy while leaving a lake of oil on my plate. Much better places on the Riverwalk and surrounding areas. Read more

Poor service. The food was disgusting. Normally I complain unfortunately I just didn't have the heart. My plate was the fajita... plate. Which was around $22.00 plus tax. The waiter came to table once or twice the entire time. I believe in tipping. Although,the tip depends on the server. I start my tips at $50.00. If it remains at the $50.00 that depends on the server as I statedearlier. Server was tipped $9.00 which I believe was still a good amount. He took off two of the meals. My daughter complainedabout her food. My granddaughter's meal she didn't even touch it. I'll never go back. Just can't find good tex-Mex food. Alongwith the fact that the fajita plate didn't taste like fajita. My drink was pretty good. The food looked good. However, justbecause it looks good doesn't mean it is good food???? Read more
