Customer service server was great as far as the restaurant and itself. We were celebrating an event very eventful for our family and they turn the lights out right in the middle of our dinner. Trash food is decent will not return. I gave them a second chance next time will be won’t be back again.

The service was incredibly the food came out quick and the server went above and beyond and was very pleasant, we ordered the Birria tacos and they was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection! We will definitely be returning again! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came on a Thursday night, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was empty, I feel bad for them, but it was nice for us that it wasn’t too crowded! Jalapeño cucumber margaritas were delicious, salsa tasted like a thick Pace Picante variety, didn’t care for it but the queso with chorizo was AHHHHMAZING!! Chile relleno for dinner. It was nice they served two with the meal (including beans & rice) Nice waitress who was always making sure we were happy. Will be back!!

Nothing to write home about ... food is average at best. Very bland and lacked flavor or seasoning. Meh. The search for good Mexican food in the area continues.... Pico - needed lime Chicken - needed seasoning, no salt

This was not good - service was very good - people were very attentive. Salsa had no flavor - tasted like tomato paste with a few onions. Carnitas were moist and OK, but bland almost like it was boiled. Chicken burrito was mostly rice - not horrible - but I wouldn't order it again. I will note that in all of Martin County - I haven't found any Mexican restaurants that have impressed me. Maybe the Food Truck on Dixie Hwy.

My wife and I ordered two different dishes. The waitress came out with two of the same dish I ordered and explained that they were out of the dish my wife ordered. Really? Common sense says that you’d immediately come back to the table when the kitchen tells you “we’re out of that” and inform the person who ordered that dish, but regardless, you don’t just choose a dish for them. Food wasn’t hot enough. The red pepper that was in the description couldn’t have been more than 1 square inch total in the dish. In my opinion, there are plenty of better Mexican restaurants in the area, which probably explains why we were the only patrons in the entire place.

Food was fantastic, drinks REALLY good - they have a HUGE selection of tequila and mezcal. Staff super friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant, think it’s the best Mexican in Stuart area.

The food was out right terrible. Lets start with the salsa it was just tomatoe sauce, it had no flavor and just a red sauce, I ask the server about the salsa she said it is just the tomatoes juice nothing else, YUCK, and the chip plates were dirty. That should of been my first red flag, I orderted tamales and they were hard and like rubber, the rice was just a scoop of yellow rice ( no flavor) the refried beans were like mush ( no flavor). I complained i was told (It is fine). I. said i do not want it and she said the food is fine the 2nd order at our table same thing the food was below subpar, and the order was wrong I said something I was told ok, that was the last time i saw any type of server, there were 3 more people in our party and their food was not eaten either. all the order was wrong and food was terrible. I had to hunt someone down for more water and a spoon and hot sauce. NO ONE ever checked on our table . When it came time to pay I had to argue about the total they refused to remove the wrong orders during the course of our meal. ( I tracked the server down as the night went on and complained about those orders she said food is fine) OMG really....and all 5 meals were terrible and left uneaten, Anyway I ended paying for 3 of the combo meals. NO MATTER how hungry you are DO NOT eat there. and the place was empty there was 1 other table with people and it was 530 pm dinner time , IT was a big disappointment and the place had no ambiance no music just terrible..... run

Waiting at the bar. Glasses empty. As the 7 people that were suppose to be working only waiting on the beautiful blondes. While we were thirsty and hungry. Our service was on a better Buzz than we were. We were 2 of 4 people in the entire restaurant.

Smells terrible when you walk in, that should've been a sign... but yet we stayed. Restarant was dead, we sat at the bar. Our server was too busy making jokes with 6 or 7 other employees so we sat without drinks and food for at least 20 minutes. Didn't end up ordering food, we were too afraid to. The entire group of employees appeared high and were having a lot of fun, without a care in the world. May be a fun place to "work", but not eat.

Great food and friendly service. Enjoyed the ambiance there as well. The food was delicious and the margaritas were great too

My experience was pricey and everything is extra. The food ranged from just ok to pretty good. The restaurant is nicely decorated but very empty. My daughter asked for lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream in her kids burrito and that added $8 to the price. The sweet waitress was understanding at my shock when I got the bill & took off the extra charges however with a 20% tip dinner out for my 2 daughters and I was over $65. 2 adult entrees, 1 kids meal, 1 kids drink, two ice waters & some queso.
