I should've took pictures but the food was amazing we ordered a chimichanga with margaritas if we pass through here again we will be stopping for another go around and the waiter is great as well always checking on us and the food came out faster than any Mexican restaurant I have seen

I had the Crazy Fajita, and the food was excellent. The server was attentive and happy. The atmosphere was good. It was crowded, but the booths separate us enough to have a peaceful dining experience

This is my go to restaurant when I’m entertaining my out of state friends. The grilled shrimp in any dish is my favorite. The flavors in their dishes had my husband and I visit there establishment three times in one week. Excellent food and healthy portion. Love their homemade Sangria!

I would give them 5 stars for their food, it was delicious! But the service is a little slower than we usually receive at the same kind of places. Horchata was so so good, I've been to Mexico, and this is what they serve in the little road side eateries, love love it.

The food was great and the service was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I drive from Portage to Battle Creek to eat here because there is nothing around us that compares. I'll be back.
