Went here with two friends for a chill dinner. The free chips & salsa were great, but when it came around to my avocado fish taco, the fish was really firm. The others seemed to have enjoyed their quesadilla and enchilada, but I noticed a lot of stuff left on the plate at the end- the portions are definitely on the bigger end.Our server was buzzing around our table frequently, which was fine until she handed us the check while we still wanted to sit, chat, and maybe order a couple more drinks. I’m not sure if it was a cultural misunderstanding, but I felt rushed to leave, despite the fact that the restaurant had many, many available seats.

Lost my order again. Still have yet to try your food. Your staff needs to do a better job of checking pickup orders.

‼️Horrible service experience.Me, my wife and friend went to have lunch. We went in at 3:30 pm. We gave order by 3:45 pm.One quesadilla and one chicken fajita .The server took 1 hour and bring food at 4:45 pm. Then take more 5 minute to bring us plates. We we were sitting in front of food super hungry which the server could have given us early.She gave us coke while giving she drop some on the table and then put straws over wet table.After we ate she bought check where she charged us with 2 quesadilla and 2 fajita with 76$When we said you charged double she then said ok I made mistake and I can pay 47$.The math did not add up why it will be 47$ also so we asked for paper bill.After 5 min she came and gave us bill of 40$In the whole process she never showed remorse that she made so many mistake during serving and asked us to pay wrong amount.I know in Mexican Restuarent food comes late but her service and behavior looks like she did not give a damn about us. We are from Indian (South Asia) origin so May be for her we were not worth the service. We felt that way.Been in Maine for long time and always felt welcome dining out.FYI still provide 10% tip. ( my wife is angry why I tip her . )Only giving 2 star cause food was good enough.

From entering the building to exiting it was an a amazing experience. The decor is beautiful and has that Mexican restaurant feel. The Host very friendly. Our server ( so sorry didn't get her name) very professional, and friendly. Her smile could brighten up a room. The food was hands down the best I have had in over 6 years. This restaurant is truly the only great Mexican restaurant in central maine.

Went with my wife after having minor surgery, had not eaten since previous day. Wasn't sure what to have and my server recommended the Mexican flag enchiladas. They were fantastic. My wife had the chicken fajitas which were great too. Our server, Everett S. was attentive and made meal extra enjoyable. Will definitely be back!

The food is always delicious and a great value for your $. Friday night we had Emma as our server and she was a 10+ great employee! Hope to see her again next time! Unfortunately the hostess needs some work. Her back was to us and was not greeted for some time. Usually not the case at this location - usually always greeted upon arrival and when we leave:)

My friend was visiting from Arizona and our server refused to serve her because she thought her ID was fake. I get it she's just doing her job but it was a big bummer for us. Food was pretty nasty too.
