We enjoyed the service & food. Our experience was excellent. The food was delicious! The rice is the best we have had in any Mexican restaurant! We added some hot sauce to the salsa for our liking. Give it a try.

I eat here pretty often. The food is good, ive only gotten it once where the food wasnt that great but I order the same thing every time so I think it was just an off night (restaurants are run by humans they 100% allowed to have moments where things are perfect)

Staff is always nice and the service is fast. The only downside is I feel like their food is pretty expensive but that seems to be on par for Huntsville in general so thats not a huge deal. They still get my money ;)

Few customers on a Friday night yet we had to ask for refills, ask for tortillas, get up from our table to find a server, among the many just standing around, for anything. Fajita did not come out sizzling, the kids chicken tenders were 2 different colors. The cheese dip was good. The decor and paintings are gorgeous. We all had stomach aches that evening. Based on the good reviews I have to assume this was an "off" night.

I felt like I was at a Five Star restaurant. Not once did I have to ask for anything. When opening my silverware napkin, my knife fell to the floor. Within 30 seconds, someone came and placed another in front of me. Food was delicious and arrived within 10 minutes after ordering. Chips and salsa were refilled before the last chip was eaten. Drink prices were well below the prices at most restaurants. A pitcher of orange/raspberry margarita, was $28.00 vs the $17.95 medium Mango Margarita at Los Trojas. Quantity of food received was well within the price range.Great food, reasonable prices, and excellent service!

I ORDERED A TOSTADA IN CASE I DIDN'T LIKE THE TAMALE AND THE TOSTADA WAS FLAVORLESS WITH NO CRUNCH. I WILL NEVER GET THAT AGAIN BUT I'D GET WHAT I NORMALLY GET.

We ordered 3 chicken meals. Chicken was tough, but the refried beans and rice were plentiful, meat, not so much. In other words, this was over priced. My wife and I also purchased a chocolate chimichanga to share. This was ridiculous, it was beyond tough, I mean THICK tortilla tough. And the chocolate....ok make this at home, get a thick flour tortilla, poor chocolate chips into it and pour some Hershey's syrup over it and serve. I don't see us ordering anything from here again.

A lot of people I know have said nothing but good things about this restaurant. Since I was in athens thought I would give it a try. Got seated brought chips and salsa and that was it. No drink order or nothing. 3 different tables was seated after us and had drinks brought to them immediately. Will not return to actually try the food.

I expected more, it wasn’t all that especially for the price. Definitely not authentic Mexican food. The first couple of bites were flavorful, I realized it was the cheese sauce but the rest of the food didn’t have much flavor. The service was great, it was a little loud because it was game night. Overall I don’t think I’d go back.

I ordered online and had delivered . $24.00 for a beef burrito and maybe 6-8 of cheese dip. When I opened the bag the burrito was mushy, and piled up to one side of the container with the beans all over. (Drivers fault)
Maybe wrap the burrito separately?? It was a mushy mess that I wasted 24 bucks on. Never again.
Do better.

Everything on the plate tasted the same. Taco, chili relleno and enchilada all tasted exactly the same. A bland ground beef with cheese and shell. Need to add some variety to the flavors. Go try Rosie's for example. Also, server was nice but forgot one side item and got one entree item wrong.

My wife and I just move to the Carbondale area and were out exploring when we came across this gem I Overbrook, Ks.

The owner is very nice and conscientious. The food was prepared quickly and was amazing BIG flavor, and the portions were huge. I honestly cannot think of one thing that we didn’t love; including the sideways kick of the Margaritas. 🤪

This is better than anything you were going to get in Topeka, or Lawrence.
