Guestbook
“ Typical Mexican food that is pretty good and the drinks were great! I got The Hacienda and a margarita flight both were good. They have an extensive food and drink menu so there's something for everyone. ”
“ This was our first time here and we loved it! The restaurant is very clean, the food is quick to come out. The pricing was reasonable for the two orders of lunch fajitas and it came out n large portions. The atmosphere is fun and bright. The only reason I give 4 stars is because the hostess didn’t seem happy to be there and didn’t bring a high chair or kids meal when we asked and clearly had a child with us. The rest of the staff were excellent and checked on us frequently. We’ll be back again soon! ”
“ We arrived around 8:30pm and although they were not busy, we had to wait for about 10min to get seated while they cleaned the table. Which, it was not that bad. Our server was nice and polite. My husband and I shared a margaritas flight with strawberry, mango, raspberry and pineapple margaritas. Our favorite were the pineapple and strawberry ones. We ordered: a plate of Birria tacos, which were our favorite, 1 taco al pastor, 2 taco Chimi Chimi Bang Bang, and 1 surf and turf taco. The Birria tacos were our favorites, it was full of meat and cheese, the consome was delicious and it also came with green salsa and pickled onions which gave it a great taste. Now, the individual tacos, they were good but they are leaving out a lot of potential by serving them on a flour tortilla. The tortilla was chewy and took out all the great flavor from the filling of it. I will give a 2nd chance to this place and try the tacos with corn tortillas if possible and try other dishes. ”
“ Wow! The food here blew me away—it had that food-truck level of flavor and authenticity that I absolutely love. Every bite was fresh and packed with taste. On top of that, Addy was an amazing server! She made the whole experience fun and effortless, always checking in at the right time and keeping everything running smoothly. Between the outstanding food and fantastic service, this place easily earns five stars. ”
“ Taco Tuesday! When this place first opened I was hesitant to give them a try, then heard some friends talking about how good it was, and gave it a try, boy I hate I waited so long. Been eating here over a year now, I come by myself, with my spouse or groups up to 10 and the service is always spot on, food is always great and a lot of it!!!! This is now my only place to eat Mexican food in matthews area!! ”
