Samantha LaineNovember 18, 2018Super busy! Way too small a place for amount of traffic - usually huge wait Fri/Sat nights - 45min for 1-person. Super worth it & very cost-effective. Favourites: Nachos, Chimichanga, Mexican Pizza!
Bartenders are awesome. Food is amazing. Still can't choose a favorite because everything is delish. Cooks do a great job everytime. Have not been disappointed. The drinks are very good on top of it!
Matt SharpJanuary 20, 2012Wow awesome! I love Mexican food and eat it all the time. And this place rocked! Have to pay for chips but $10 4 salsa guacamole n cheese is well worth it. Best guac ever. enchiladas are great!
Bobbie VenturaNovember 12, 2017We come here every time we vaca in Madeira Beach. Good food good drinks.
Little place. Patio out back. Everyone's really nice. Margaritas are great, and they are big. Nachos are excellent, huge, lots of fresh, shredded cheese (no cheese sauce). Good spot.
Taylor HartzelAugust 8, 2017Probably one of the best Mexican places I've been. All of the ingredients are farm fresh and the servers are super personable. The sizzling veggie fajitas didn't disappoint!
I am newly in love with the Philly Cheese Steak Burrito! Have tried many items on the VIP menu, but this has become my new favorite!
Love the 3 Amigos appetizer (great Guac) and the house margaritas! We make the trip weekly for these two things.
KaralyMarch 7, 2013If you dare try the Burrito Loco spicy monster burrito challenge. If you can eat this 18in long burrito in less than an hour it's free.
It doesn't look like much but the food rocks the staff is great and ya can't beat their Margaritas. Been coming here for years, it's that good!
Sandy SteenbergMarch 4, 2016Margaritas, wet burritos, tacos...everything is good! Friendly efficient staff and never disappoints.
Enchiladas con mole - totally rocks. Monday special. I love the pork!
Teresa BrewerMarch 16, 2013Awesome margaritas and taco salad is delicious! Service is a bit slow, but not a big deal if you're not in a hurry.
Neva RobertsOctober 27, 2014The Mexican Rolls will blow your mind! Awesome! Great Food! Small dive bar!! Loved it!
Jeanie TurnerJanuary 25, 2016Margaritas, burritos and all food is great Busy and small, so allow wait time..
Great local joint. Tough on seasonal folks used to more sedate dining but, worth the adjustment. Some wonderful fare plus wicked good margaritas.
The fajitas are sizzling magic, the margy's are delicious. All in a dive format. Come, enjoy.
Mindy HillJune 4, 2012Eat inside where other patrons bump into you, your server will ignore you, and you get to kill your own cockroach as climbs down the wall next to you!
Awesome place! Shredded beef quessadillas and Mexican rolls are great. Their margaritas are the best.
Scott BergochJanuary 15, 2011Be sure to arrive before 10:30 on a friday night... Or the servers will give you 30 seconds to order your food. If time runs out... McDonalds is within walking distance

Yes margaritaz r da bomb n the chicken pizza my son loves it
