Our Story

On 10/21/2025 Angie had this to say:
This place is great. Not the typical Mexican food at most places. Wide variety on the menu including vegetarian dishes. Nice selection of Margaritas also

On 10/17/2025 Ashlyn Collie had this to say:
Really good mexican food! And super reasonably priced for the amount of food. Salsa was super flavorful and just the right amount of heat. Super clean restaurant and bathrooms. Huge drink menu!

On 10/10/2025 linda lane had this to say:

On 10/5/2025 Michael Hancock had this to say:
Very nice place to eat. The food was great! No skimping on the taco filling at all and delicious salsa. We will definitely go back again.

On 9/19/2025 Sue Sanders had this to say:
My husband had a business trip in nearby Franklin and he planned dinner here for us. It was slow but we got there at about 5:30 on Wednesday evening. We were greeted and sat right away. It was very clean =) Hr brought fresh chips and salsa with the menus. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu while they made them. I ordered the Tinga chicken tacos with white cilantro rice and hubby has the carne asada tacos with the same rice. Drinks (I had the muled trawberry margarita and he had a Corona with a shot of tequila) and food came out very quickly and were AMAZING! If I had to say anything I would like better is that I prefer thinner chips and maybe a little more salt on them but that doesn't affect my rating. Definitely 5 out of 5 for me! I even think I liked the tinga chicken better than my favorite spot at home!
