Shrink flation on portions, compared to others alike in the area. Watered down salsa. A problem with bill, poor customer service in correcting the error. Does not live up to advertisements. My 2nd visit will not go back.

Food is pretty good. Presentation for their drinks is the best I've seen from any restaurant

We were in the area and stopped here. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. I would definitely go back. If I’m ever in that area again I would highly recommend it.

A friend & I went there in support of a fundraiser for a program at many of our public schools. We both have heard good things about this restaurant, and thought this was a win-win.When we got there, we informed the hostess of why we were there, and she claimed she had no idea what we were talking about.We were seated, and told the waiter why we were there. He too had no idea, but he did get the manager for us.The manager informed us that it was take-out only. He then told us we could have a meal to go if we want.We said no, but our suspicions were raised. We pulled up the flyer on our phones, and nowhere did it say there was takeout only.We then showed it to the waiter. He claimed that the words dine out really meant takeout. At that point my friend, who spoke fluent Spanish, asked me if it a cultural thing or a slang. The waiter then said are you saying that because we're Mexican?It was then we decided to leave. He went to get the manager, who sent a message back to us that we were free to go on our way. Like he could ever stop us, since we did not order our meals. He didn't even have the respect to come and talk to us.So we went to another restaurant on the list that was nearby. Every single person we talk to who worked at that restaurant knew exactly why we were there, even showed the little signs that they had put up around the tables showing that they were supporting the schools.I also found out from others that they too went to the restaurant that evening, and the manager /owner didn't even bother to speak to them when they questioned whether or not the restaurant was supporting this fundraiser.By the way, the other restaurant was fabulous. I ate there before, and enjoyed it, but wanted to try something new. My friend, who has never been to this establishment, loved it!This was my first, and last experience at this restaurant.

Visited Rocky Mount for a volleyball tournament and based on reviews decided this would be the restaurant for our team dinner. Called and reserved without any issues a table for 34 people. We had two great waitresses take care of us and while the checkout process was a bit slow and the only reason the restaurant did not get 5 stars. Let's talk about the food. Delicious, I had the fajita burrito which is something I always order at most Mexican restaurants and it was delicious. I didn't tell her chicken so I was a bit disappointed that it was steak but that was my fault and not the waitress. My husband and my middle child ordered the same meal I can't remember the name but they both said it was good!! THE drinks are my favorite!! We ordered for our table of 4 adults the pineapple margarita tower !! OMG when it came out I was shocked but loved the idea of having this at the table to share with 4 adults . I received our own cups with sugar on the rim and fruit... If and when I go back I'm ordering again!! Hands down it's the best Mexican restaurant I've experienced and lives up to all the positive reviews !!

Very good, I would recommend for a lunch stop for sure. We had a nice lunch and were able to park our small camper in the spacious area.

The food was just not good. Service was slow. Screaming children in the background. An overall bad experience.
