Salsa was decent, beer and drinks seem reasonable. The shrimp were good, the chicken taste like it was freezer burnt and the beef was very salty. Staff was friendly.

Terrible service When we first got here we had to wait 5 minutes to be seated then we had to wait 15 minutes to order our drinks and I found a piece of hair in my food I would not recommend coming here. El puertos is way better than this. Muy mal

Right off the exit. We had Cancun, chicken and chorizo, shrimp a la diabala. Shrimp was very very spicy and good. Family said their meals were berry good also. Cancun looked great. A nice surprise off the interstate.

GREAT FAHITAS. Best I've had outside San Antonio. Huge sizzling cast iron plate piled with roast pork, steak, shrimp, and chicken. Peppers and onions. Refried beans,rice, and shredded lettuce salad also.Outdoor patio for these covid times. Will try to stop back. Just off 77

I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich ( I have allergies I cant eat anything else and my family wanted to go here) and they put sandwich cheese on it even though it's not listed on the menu as having cheese (sandwich American)so I sent it back, they cut both sides of the chicken off and just brought it back super thin... will not be back. Apparently for mexican food it's amazing but for someone with allergies dont bother going and trying to get something else.

Loved the outdoor patio and large beverage glasses but the food took a long time to be served, (it wasn't busy) and my dinner was cold. I would have sent it back but time was an issue. The tamale had a good flavor but the enchilada meat was very bland. (I had actually ordered a Chile relleno, not an enchilada) On the plus side, our server was very polite.

We went early, about 5. Only one front person to seat and wait tables but only one other table seated when we arrived so worked out fine. I didn't care for their salsa, more of a tex-mex flavor. I had the Cancun (shrimp, fish and scallops with grilled veggies over rice with cheese sauce). It was delicious! I would have liked more veggies and considered asking for a side of plain veggies! Large serving and brought enough home for a second meal.

What a great little restaurant! I'm staying at a hotel nearby and the desk clerk recommended it. Three of us ate full meals with 2 orders of guacamole to start, and the whole bill was $30. The server was very nice. I'm a vegan, and it was easy to get a good meal here, and the server knew to hold off a dairy topping that I didn't know would have otherwise come with the burrito I ordered. Service was very fast too. We were in and out in an hour, which was great after a long day of travel. I definitely recommend this place.

A little hard to find and the exterior is a bit off putting however, get pass that and go inside, you find a Mexican restaurant with friendly staff and a large menu. I would suggest to them they might have something like chicken tenders or something for small children who don't appreciate their non-normal foods.

Great place, the staff is super friendly, best Mexican you can find around the area, it shows enough Mexican culture without it being to over the top, my personal favorite is the Texanos fajitas.

Waited 45 mins for my to go order in the curbside spaces. When i called to let them know i arrived, i was told i had to come inside. I had my child asleep in the car so i said i couldnt come in. The woman i spoke with said i would have to wait. I had to call back after waiting 45 mins to ask if they were gonna bring my order.

Food quality and portions are supreme. Service is not the warmest but prompt. Language and inexperienced crew members some of the reasons for service not perfect, but again is prompt. Never had an empty cup for long. Reviews should be tempered, perfection may be obtainable at a restaurant, but never expect it. Good food fast and proper level of attention is enough.

Food wasn't good. Was so busy New year's Eve that the service was awful. I would expect that it was because it was New year's and they were busy. I would expect it to be better. The guy that was our waiter/host/bartender/cook/cashier was clearly busy. I would think he would take the time to apologize for the bad service though. He was clearly overwhelmed.
