Family friendly restaurant. Quick and friendly service. Lots of menu options including vegetarian! I tried the vegetarian fajitas and it was pretty delicious. I want to learn how to make veggies like these at home! On a Sunday night, we were seated and given chips and salsa right away. We got our food within 15 min of ordering. All hot and fresh.

I frequent this place every now-and-then and it always hits the spot if you're having a Mexican crave. Complimentary chips and salsa are provided. The chips are salt-less which is probably for the best health-wise, but you can always add salt. The salsa is OK, nothing special. Food overall is solid, but I was pleasantly surprised this visit how the side of rice included was quite tasty and seasoned compared to most Mexican restaurants' rice. Lunch specials are available and pictured is one of them. I'm happy to return to this place in the future for a quick Mexican bite, especially since the service is so quick.

The food was solid, but nothing special. The restaurant feels clean and has an inviting atmosphere. The service was great, they are quick to bring and refill complementary chips and salsa. The margaritas are huge fishbowl style. I got the skinny margarita and it was bad, really sweet with hardly any tequila. I would go back but I wouldn’t get a marg again. Good option for Mexican food in Grand Rapids.

The food is always great and the service is always fantastic! This has been our lunch spot for years. I've tried pretty much most on the menu. Very authentic. This time was dinner and the drinks were slamming! Always love coming back here. Fantastic service and food.

This place was pretty good! Service was quick and efficient, not very talkative or chatty but nothing wrong with that! Food was pretty good too, chimichangas were really packed full of chicken, a little too full for my liking but the sauce they served over top was very tasty. Bean dip was delish, and so was the salsa. Tamales and enchiladas were also pretty good. I would recommend getting one of the combos, they were a great value. Rice was a little weird, it had corn, peas, lima beans, and carrots in it and wasn’t very flavorful. It wasn’t repulsive but not the best either. The food came out super quick which was nice. Overall a good experience and definitely worth a try!

The food was great. I've been here a few times and never had a bad experience. Food usually comes from the kitchen within 10-15 minutes and everything is well seasoned.

I ate the Hawaiian fajitas. The bacon gave a unique flavor to the chicken and beef. Portions larger than what I could eat. Great value and delicious food. The server was a little too preoccupied with prepping silverware. We had to call her twice for service. But I expect that she will learn as she matures.

This place was good, a solid choice for Latin American food. They do the basics very well and nothing tasted bad. Their service was pretty good as well, but the highlight of the meal were the churros. Also note of you ask for hot sauce it is recently spicy and homemade, I personally loved it but it was super hot. Great new spot, we'll be back.

We showed up for an early dinner. Everyone was very friendly. Ordered Chile Verde, and like always it was out of this world. The meat was very tender and the sauce was PERFECTLY seasoned. We also ordered queso with chorizo and it was also very good, did not have that top layer of grease you find at other locations. My husband asked for a different salad dressing for his salad, and we were told they did not have any, but soon there after the waiter came with the packer of Salad dressing. They actually went out and bought some while we ate. Like I said, excellent customer service. We love this place, wonderful food, clean place, and great staff.

One of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in Grand Rapids. Consistently great quality with speedy friendly service. The most amazing Chile Verde! They go above and beyond. They ran out of Ranch Dressing and actually had someone run out to get more...and did it fast! Great drink specials. Nice family atmosphere. Prices are fair. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy authentic Mexican food.

Service is always fast and efficient. Authentic Mexican food that tastes great. Why go to Taco Bell across the street when you can have way better food and service at a better price!

I am a trucker and was making a delivery nearby. I wanted lunch so I looked on Google earth to see what was nearby. I saw this place and thought I could go for some Mexican food. I placed a phone order and went to pick it up. I got back to my truck ready to throw down. It did not disappoint. I had the pollo Verde with rice and beans tortillas and an extra taco. I will definitely go there again when I'm in the area!

Awesome service and parking and food was very good. All homemade from the kitchen and not from cans! We had a lovely dinner and the margaritas were very good! Very festive atmosphere 👌
