This was literally the most bland and unappetizing food I’ve ever had. I ate here 5 years ago and ranted to my coworkers about how great it was. I started working in the Greenbrier area again, so I thought this was a sure thing. I was embarrassed. After how bad the food, drinks, and service were….I don’t think anyone should go here. I tried to understand that there was a group of 30 or so celebrating something, but at the same time; my food was trash. There are literally 10 Tex-Mex restaurants in a rocks throw. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! Taco Bell could’ve been a better option than the $80 I spent on 2 people. And my stomach is busted up!

The hostess at the front was amazing and so sweet. Once we got to the table it was a different story, Our waitress very much rushed us to order right after we sat down. And throughout the dinner just quick to push answers and to have us out. There were a total of six tables being served and we were the only one that I could tell was hers. The restaurant was not full and we were just there to have a nice fun dinner. More than one person was going to order dessert and she brought us our checks prior to even asking. The queso was delicious but my trio fajitas were just okay. Definitely had more authentic and more flavorful.

The restaurant is easily accessible and was clean. We were seated quickly and service was top notch. The waitress was friendly, professional, and efficient.Unfortunately, the food was not great. The chicken in the enchilada was extremely dry and lacked any seasoning. The mashed potatoes were ok but nothing great.The restaurant was clean and service was wonderful, but the food was lacking.Parking: Large lot close to the entrance

When you first arrive it’s a really nice and neat location the interior is beautiful!! That’s about it that’s literally the most I can say. If you come with 6 or 7 people go elsewhere because they don't have the space. We just left and it was our first time but we won’t go back. The food was NASTY, I mean for the price you pay that’s just horrid. I was honestly expecting something amazing the steak was barely chewable the chicken was decent but bland but everything was incredibly salty. No one checks the food?? The kids food hit the table and their fries were all cold my sons nachos weren’t even nachos. The food is a joke! My waitress was inattentive but she wasn’t bad she probably hates her job but serving food like that I don’t blame her. The bar drinks were SPOT ON and fabulous. This was not authentic Mexican. I’d definitely recommend la patrona or Jose tequila but never this.

1st time here... Service was impeccable! My waitress was fast, attentive, and made great recommendations! I had a lemonade, chips & salsa, and a Mexican Stack. I saw this place on the way to my hotel and came here for an early lunch. It did not disappoint. When I learned of the 2 choices of salsa, I was sure I would choose the Traditional over the Cilantro Pineapple, but it was hard to choose. The Cilantro Pineapple was surprisingly very good! The Mexican Stack was kind of like Mexican pizza, but it was stacked with toppings, so a fork was necessary. Everything was filling and delicious and topped off with excellent service!!!

If you’re coming here turn around. Nothing authentic about microwaving food from a factory. I don’t typically post these but it’s just an over priced Taco Bell to be honest, and Taco Bell actually tastes better. Waste of money

My friend and I have an annual tradition of a meal, drinks and shopping for the wives for Christmas. Stefanie and Shyla made our meal and experience well worth the price. We ate and had drinks which were all delicious and their service was excellent.

I love to stop by for lunch when I'm traveling through. Today the tortilla soup was delicious as well as the enchilada plate. I appreciate the authenticity and effort of the Mexican food served here as I know the effort it takes. Thank much and I hope others check out the tortilla and other soups. There isn't any other comparison anywhere locally so if you like Mexican food, its the best. The staff and manager are delightful.

We just went here tonight for the first time in a long time. Every thing was great and the food was good! Our waitress, Stephanie, did an awesome job! We will definitely be coming back!

REALLY NOT GOOD ANYMORE. THE SALSA IS DIFFERENT AND NOT really tasty. Thick and tastes like from a jar. I just remember the old days at this place. Will not return.

Great service and delicious food! Stef in the bar was a friendly and excellent server. She makes a mean margarita. Highly recommend!

The bar tender Stefanie was magical! My drinks were presented as if a magical carpet with a genie granted my last wish. Her hospitality and service went above and beyond expectations. This was the best experience I've ever had at a restaurant ever!
