    Ridiculously yum The lunch specials are so budget friendly we had to double check the prices given the enormous amount of food. Steak fajitas and tacos were great quality beef mixed with the right touch of seasoning. The amount of vegetables were also excellent balance. The lunch special chili relleno had a slight kick which we loved. The salsa bar is insane!!!

    We had a nice dinner. We didn't know there was a self serve salsa bar until half way through our experience. They also give you a bean dip for your chips, which made more sense when you realized they had salsa available. The food was good. The place was busy, but seemed well managed.

    Seriously, the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time and I’m from Central Florida. Wonderful service from the really sweet young woman. Great atmosphere and good food, five out of five, highly recommend.

    Best Mexican food in the area! The menu has plenty of options & combos, though they could improve the variety of beans. The salsa bar was amazing — I loved trying several types, some for the first time ever. Truly an authentic Mexican experience. Highly recommend!

    This was by far the best Mexican place we ate at on our trip to NC. We enjoyed every bit of it. The food came out quickly, the staff was very kind and the food was delicious. Very authentic and very yummy. I would definitely come back to this place! The salsa bar was delightful!

    Love this place. It’s great service and awesome food. Highly recommend this place. You won’t regret it. Parking can be tricky but we had a great experience. We will be back. Edit: Another great meal. Great service too. Edit: Another great meal. However I ordered a fajita (steak) and it came out on a plate. It was good just not fajita hot. Always good service tho. 5 stars for sure.

    While in the area volunteering a group of us had dinner here. Seated pretty quickly, served quickly by a friendly server and the food was enjoyed by everyone! Would certainly recommend this business to anyone in the area! They even have a little salsa bar! The mango salsa was DELICIOUS, btw!
