Seated fairly quickly, immediately served with chips and salsa, not chunky or spicy at all. The queso was light and fluffy used up the rest on the quesadilla. Our server kept a watchful eye on our drinks and kept us refilled all night without even asking. Hubby ordered the beef burrito and taco with cheese sauce said it was like the best he has had. I got the chicken and cheese quesadilla and there was so much chicken it was overflowing the shell. Perfection on a platter, we will for sure make this our date night place. Oliver was our sever and he was awesome, will also ask for him.

I sincerely wish we had one of these located in SC! While in town visiting a friend, we actually ate at two different locations two nights in a row. We experienced the same great service and excellent food in both! My favorite part was the fact that there aren't TVs plastered around, which is honestly a rude distraction unless you are dining alone, or perhaps aren't enjoying the company you're keeping. The cocktails were also fantastic , and I personally recommend the Blue Motorcycle!

Came in for dining experience. Staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. It was well seasoned, hot and fresh. The music was a little louder than I prefer, but not bad. Overall a very pleasant experience. I will be back again.

Decent prices. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Got a quesadilla, which is my go to. Got extra meat, and it still wasn't expensive. Also, not super greasy, which is a big plus! Worth trying for sure!

My wife & I eat here every week & we love the food & the staff that works there. We call in to-go orders often & for the price you can feed 2 people for under 25 & have leftovers for the next day. Great food, great people, great price! We eat at the one in Gray & the one in Colonial Heights & they're both wonderful. You'll be glad you went there to eat. Best Mexican food around!
