Plates came out insanely hot, and with no warning, my wife and I grabbed the plate, burning our fingers. I still have a burn mark on my finger. Food was less than ideal, my wife said it reminded her of cat food. The best part about the meal was the mojito.

Delicious food. Large servings. I had enough left over for lunch the next day. But, the price was also sufficiently high to cover two meals.

The employees did the best they could, but you can only do so much with terrible food and a dirty bar and kitchen.It says something when the best food at a Mexican restaurant is mashed potatoes. When I ordered beans and potatoes as a side, I assumed they'd be seasoned fried potatoes, but no, as a first for a Mexican restaurant, I was given mashed potatoes from Sysco.The enchilada has dry beef inside with no cheese. The salsa was lacking flavor. The taco may as well have been from Taco Bell though it also lacked flavor. And the sangria tasted like grape juice.The bar was very dirty and old. We watched as the sink was left on and just spilled all over the floor for 5 minutes as it wasn't connected to a drain pipe. Then, we watched a second bartender just drop old drinks down the same sink with no pipe and the contents spilled all over the floor some more. There were old ingredients strewn all over while they made drinks. It was dirty and gross. Not to mention, the $10 queso tasted like it came out of an old can of cheese.I would definitely not recommend.

Service horrible! Ordered a burrito of the menu and only wanted carne asada which is steak sour cream,cheese and guacamole only. The waitress said now you're changing thing's and you can only have seasoned beef and shredded chicken. I can't have steak now? I wasn't even given the option to get that. Her smug attitude was uncalled for when I wanted to order what I wanted on the burrito. I had a nithr waitress come to me and say next time come get me and I'll put steak in your burrito. The fact that the waitress mentioned waiting 60 tables and was about the money made her service really poor.

Esther provided great service for our group. She was helpful with our dietary needs. She knew the ingredients and helped us order a vegetarian meal. The menu has dietary sections.

The food was fantastic. I ordered the soup and reynosa salad. The pineapple salsa was so good! The service was great, and so was the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

It was really good food and service. A little pricey but you do get a lot of food.Vegetarian options: I had chili rellenos, they were delicious and they had several other vegetarian options as well.

Super fun Atmosphere. Great food. Some fun twist in some of cuisine.Really fun cocktails and service is great. I think this place can get over looked because of some of the classics in Chattanooga for tex mex. And Mexican style.Don't get me wrong if you want real authentic or as close as you can get in the greater Chattanooga area, try tacos el lots of one of the loas .However, for a great sit down tex mex place , this is growing to be a favorite.

I don't even have the words to describe the disappointment in this restaurant. The salsa is not good. Ordered nachos and they came out as individual nachos in a circle on the plate with a little bit of toppings on each. Overpriced for subpar food. Service was good.
