Great food, great atmosphere, wish the service was better! The waitress didn't know the menu when we had questions. But the drinks and food were great.

Lookout! A 18% service fee is included in your bill! The service was okay, but could use some work so I didn’t leave anything extra. The host stand was really unwelcoming - there were FOUR women standing side by side just staring blankly at me when I approached. Nobody smiled or welcomed me, they just stared and waited until I said something. Then after being seated, waited 10 minutes for our waiter to actually come over.The food though was good. Fajitas a bit dry like other reviewer mentioned - no sauce in the skillet. Everything needed a heavy pinch of salt - especially the chips and salsa. The chips were really think and they look seasoned but were severely under salted. The salsa is ok but has a strange tomato sauce flavor. Other people had tacos and enchiladas which looked better than my food.The water view from patio is lovely except cars block it because they parallel park there.Vegetarian options: There are veggie options for most items such as veggie tacos or veggie fajitas or mushroom instead of meat.Parking: There’s parallel street parking and even a gravel lot with tons of extra overflow parking.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor with ramps up the sidewalk. However, it is somewhat tight to get between the tables if you are in a wheelchair.

Food is always great and service is phenomenal! I've been here well over a dozen times over the years and have never been disappointed. Birria tacos are my favorite but the guacamole is a close second. Relaxing atmosphere that is perfect for date night. Drinks are always well made with a huge selection of specially cocktails.Kid-friendliness: I've brought my son many times and had a great experience and delicious meal.

The food is great. Guacamole is very very good. Happy hour specials is very good as well. The margs and other items are priced well. Very reasonable for that. On busy days, you can wait a while to get seated here. That is always a good sign for a good restaurant. The chips are also home made, and that is awesome. They don't give you salsa which is a slight negative, but you can order it so not a big deal. Some of the waiters don't want to be there, and that is my slight negative. You can tell that they don't care at times. The service could be better, but it isn't terrible.

18% automatic tip added by restaurant. Hate places that do that.Atmosphere is fantastic. That’s where it ends. They passed us for Guacamole that we ordered 3x and we finally cancelled it $18 btw.Tried a few tacos and a few drinks. Very VERY average food. Considering the auto tip, not worth it at all. Service sucked.

Wow we had fun at this place for sure. Authentic Mexican weight staff, LUkUS was very knowledgeable and described our options with precise descriptions. Later management swung by to make sure all was well. DRINKS! Yes we had a few margaritas. A variety of sections to choose from. With Lukas selection we mixed it up. Had to try as many as we could and all were yummy. The table side guacamole was well worth it with fresh chips with a kick. You will not be disappointed. That was just the apps. Shrimp shrimp ceviche was so tasty. Then we had selevtion of the tacos smoked brisket was melt in your mouth. Hard shell or soft it was good. We will be back for more since we couldn’t eat it all in one sitting. Thumbs up for this place.

This place was the greatest accidental find. Margaritas are a solid 10, the spicy grouper dish on the menu wasn’t very spicy but I’ll be dammed if it wasn’t on point and the portions are a problem. Best Mexican I’ve had in a very long time. Give it a

I was here two years ago on a sunny evening with friends and have wanted to go back ever since. This time it was a Sunday afternoon and pouring rain but many little extras made it even better.Our server Jessica was top-notch, relaxed and friendly but always right there when needed. Everything came on time although it was very crowded. When the rain started splashing us she moved us without our asking.I had duck empanadas--delicious and crunchy, and lobster enchiladas. My husband had loaded nachos and chorizo tacos, also tasty and above average flavor.One nice extra was that Jessica called to our attention the 18% gratuity added to the bill even though it was printed on the menu. This keeps it from being an unpleasant surprise for people who don't pay attention and it was appreciated. Overall a great experience, and we will be back soon!

Really bad, really salty, and the service has gotten really bad the last 3 times we went. Also, plan for a night on the toilet afterward. This is all just my opinion, but I would eat at another of the many Mexican restaurants in Jupiter / Tequesta.

Tacos de Birria is one of my wife’s favorite meals, we’ve had it delivered here twice. I tried it and it was the best one I’ve had yet! I’m looking to expand on other menu options.

$45 fajitas, meat was tasteless, the few vegetables at the bottom no flavor again, none of the characteristic sauce that usually come in the fajitas. The burrito, thankfully we asked for the sauce on the side because it was bad, the rice same.Pozole was decent but nothing good for this kind of restaurant and its prices.Brisket taco, what an embarrassment really. It was just the small tortilla extra thin pieces of meat which didn’t taste like brisket and that’s it.Tres leches was more like a red velvet cake soaked in milk with some merengue on top. That is not tres leches.The only decent food was the quesadilla, again too expensive for what it was.
