Enjoyed a delicious meal here for lunch. Chips were light and crisp. Salsa was fresh and homemade and very flavorful.The tamales and enchiladas were fantastic! A limited menu but everything on it is wonderfully done. Big portions and so tasty.We will be back.

I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PLACE! The place itself was a nice setting, server gave awesome service. Food was disgusting! Peas in my beef. Rice tasted like microwave rice. This place is far from authentic when it comes to Mexican food. I got two basic plates and waters. My bill was 21 and some change. I gave a 5$ tip. I was in a hurry to catch the bus so didn't really question my bill or look at it. So the overall bill was 26 and change. Next day I see they charged me a extra 6$. And I called and asked why. And she said it was because she gave me the wrong bill. Which I thought was crazy and told her that u can't just go charging my card after I left for your mixup. Waiting to hear back from the manager. But very unprofessional. Between the food and them charging my card without my consent I would not go back.

When you call up there you can't understand what the person is saying and they don't understand you and it's just aggravating. Lack of professionalism. Pretty much disorganized and sloppy staff. Do better!

Margaritas were very weak, my food was not hot and the service was not great.

To tortilla soup has tender steak and the ingredients make a taste that brings this to top of my meal it was very enjoyable to eat. The fried tacos were okay but needed something else to taste more Mexican I guess am trying to say. Guacamole was very good and salsa was chunky and had a good tang taste. Margarita were okay preference would be another lime mix. Wife's birthday was treated with a fried cheesecake it was a treat very good. Service was meet with expectation and was okay. Table could be little larger but made the order with a little rearranging otherwise I do recommend this establishment, ambiance is not over the top but lighted well.

This is usually a go to place in Edwardsville but tonight it was a little underwhelming. Something was just..."off"...on the beef in the nachos. Service was a little slower then what we've been use to in the past. But...the fried cheesecake was on lint and redeemed the night! We will be back...eventually.

Food was above average but not blow your mind great. Good portion size and decent flavors. I was not a fan of their chips and salsa due to salsa having larger chunks of tomato but that is a personal pereferance. Flavor was

It's definitely a good lil Mexican restaurant. They didn't have Dr. Pepper, but they had DIET Dr. Pepper... food came out hot and delicious and just like I ordered. Waitress was very nice. Place was clean and very inviting.

Food was great, service was ok, If you go and eat at this restaurant I highly suggest that you take a picture of your receipt. I left a standard tip and when I saw my charges on my bank account 2 days later someone had doubled the tip , I repeatedly tried to call the restaurant and every time I was told that the manager was not there and had no idea when she would come in. Probably not going back.
