Ate here last night with my Grandpa & Mom. Our food order was completely messed up. We ended up with beef enchiladas when we all had ordered cheese, an extra bowl of charro beans that we didn't order, a huge side of rice. It was a mess. And the waitress got so confused she asked another lady for help to see if she had given us the right plates. The other lady said yes. Then my Grandpa looked at the enchiladas he was given and said these are beef. The waitress told us to just keep them b/c they'd have to throw the plate away and she'd get the right plate out to my Grandpa. So my Mom took the extra plate and was eating it. Then the manager and waitress come back and the manager showed no apology whatsoever for our messed up order and said if you eat it, you have to pay for it. So my Mom just picked the plate up and said take it! The manager went on to say that those WERE cheese enchiladas they just had a lot of meat sauce on them. The manager took the food, I don't think she ever apologized. They did bring my Grandpa the right plate after that. To keep from further ruining our dining experience we didn't say anything else, but the plate my Mom was eating was beef enchiladas, not cheese. The waitress apologized several times and told us we woudnt be charged for the extra food. The extra food was even put on our ticket but shown as deducted ... food WE NEVER HAD ORDERED TO BEGIN WITH. We will never be back. It was a terrible and embarrassing experience. Should have been handled very differently.

Food was good a little on the pricey side for their food. Food was good no issues with our order. My family and I was in town visiting and we were traveling with two of our fur babies. We needed a place to eat that was dog friendly. The patio seating is dog friendly. My daughter and I shared the steak fajita and my husband got a burrito. Portions were good sized but with tip we paid almost 75 and that was only two meals and drinks.

My doughter and I are doing a roadtrip in the US. We're from Germay and enjoy the southern food a lot. Tavia and the kitchencrew behind her did a beautiful job. We had brisket tacos and a burger. Once back in Waco we'll definetly come back!

If I could give zero stars I would BUT I cannot because my first time experience was absolutely MIND BLOWING AMAZING and I cannot wait to return!! I wish i could give five thousand stars!! Austin was the best bartender thus far since my move from South Dakota -- his personality, demeanor, positivity, customer service and knowledge was unbelievable!! Best Mexican food I have found in Waco and so fresh and flavorful!! Michelada was delicious as well as the creative margaritas! I felt very welcomed by staff and patrons as soon as I walked in the door!! Such a clean, fun atmosphere!! Keep doing amazing! I cannot wait for my next visit!!
