Tasty food, extensive menu and drink selections, cool chill vibe, I sat at the bar and watched baseball, ordered a combination plate that was delicious...also has seating inside and festive outdoor patio dining. Friendly service. Good value and refreshing peach margaritas!

I’m from Philly. I haven’t been excited to be in TX. Until last night. First, look at that margarita prices at 10.49! Waitress- I’m multiracial- sometimes well taken sometimes not. She made me feel like her Mexican cousin, because she was so personable and attentive. Very good, alls staff smile. Jeez it’s Friday night, let’s feel good! That was the atmosphere. I am making the review the next day because I finished that drink! Ahem. Lmao Also 28.00 w tax for banging enchiladas and that drink! I will definitely be back. I didn’t even have to drive here! Great place- had plenty convos at the bar! Just fosters good vibes!

Omg so good! It’s hard to find a place that has solid everything! Salsa was fresh. Service was super friendly & quick. Our food came out fast too! We ordered carnitas tacos (the pork had great flavor & texture), cheese enchilada, and chicken enchilada. The rice was moist. The only thing I’d say was a “negative” was that 1/4 of the chips were chewy/hard. Tres leches was 7/10! But overall fantastic food!

If you are driving through Wichita Falls and inchte mood for Tex- Mex this is your place. Great food and ambiance. Also very affordable with great quick service. The menu has a vegetarian options section and they are even willing to customize your food! I got the chimichanga customized vegetarian with beans, cheese, peppers and onions!

We all enjoyed our food. It was authentic. We even enjoyed the rice and beans, which we typically don’t like in other places. We are definitely coming back. We had the pollo ranchero, pollo Guadalajara, mixed fajitas, tapatio special, veggie quesadillas, pollo de caldo. All were great!

Very good Mexican (NOT Texmex) food. Service was great in a fun environment. We were just passing through but planning on stopping in next time we're in town.

Great food is always hot and fresh. I've only door dashed so far, but definitely will be visiting soon! Serving sizes are well worth the price, and taste is off the chain!

This restaurant was recommended by hotel staff. It was that pt What a Burger. We chose well. Nice little out of the way eatery. Fairly busy. The service was good from start to finish the Frajitas for two was out standing. Price was good. Would go there again given the opportunity
