Sangria margaritas, enchiladas verdes, tacos al carbon. A great after work restaurant. Nothing fancy. Good service and good food.- Good food. Service was top notch. Always checking on for drink or chip refills. One of my favorite Mexican Restaurants in the area.
Our favorite! Strong margaritas, cold beer, fresh limes, and the tamales are to die for! Try the queso flameado too!
Brandon TaylorAugust 4, 2013The best frozen margarita in Spring. The food is also reasonably priced and tasty.- Dustan NeylandJanuary 13, 2012The margaritas are delicious and strong. If you drink too much, call a cab. If you drive anyway and get a DWI, call me. Law Offices of Dustan Neyland - 281-312-0155.
Paula BushMay 31, 2014Well skip eating the boxed and canned food, nothing is fresh here But give them this they know how to make a margarita that will be strong enough just not strong enough to eat the retched food
Food is always good, drinks are always great, service always sucks.
Randy DFebruary 6, 2023WOW, 50% more expensive than typical meskin restaurant. Thank God I will never be in Houston to eat here.
The delicious margaritas are STRONG here. One & I'm DONE!!!
Wendi BartlettOctober 19, 2011Their ritas are no joke!! They should be served w/ a warning label!! Have a taxi waiting for you!!
Joshua MathisJanuary 5, 2013Crowded, with lots of kids. Decent food, but limited menu. There are better values to be had in the area.
Frances MoradoNovember 27, 2011This place is disgusting! Gotten sick every time I eat here no matter what I try on the menu. The only thing worth going is their margaritas. But their chips and salsa suck too!

"Loved the fries. Just enough crispy outside. Try the grilled cheese with bacon. Of course you need great bread to make it work and it has that."
