- David S.

"When it comes to Mexican Restaurants it is very hard, from my experience, to distinguish one from the other. For this restaurant, my experience has been good. The food is typical however it is at the top of list in the Baton Rouge area. Fresh, tasty and not too spicy. You either like it or you don't. Won't do wrong here."

- Glynn L.

"I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant during my first visit. Keegan was incredibly attentive and made sure that my son, who has a speech impediment, felt comfortable ordering. He took the time to explain the menu and didn't rush us at all. The food was outstanding - the taco salad, fajitas, quesadillas, and fried ice cream were all fresh and delicious. I had read some previous reviews mentioning a rude manager, but Keegan cleared that up for me and all of the staff were polite and welcoming. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future. FYI- the so called rude manager was extremely nice us as soon as we walked in. It just shows you have to experience things for yourself. Thanks again"

"We absolutely love this place!! The friendly service is also spot on! My kids love the quesadillas. The rest of my family order various other things that taste great also. My favorite believe it or not is the Grilled Salmon!! I'm not even a big on salmon but it is to die for here!! A "must try" item!! Also the frozen mango margarita is very good! We never miss a Taco Tuesday either!!! Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the area."

- Lesley H.

"It was hopping on a Taco Tuesday! Great deal on pitchers of mango margaritas, and the 5 tacos that my wife and I had (total) was only $10! The food is fantastic and the service is, too. There's a reason that it was packed, and had a 20-minute wait!"

- Keith S.
