Waiter showed up in a reasonable amount of time to take my order. Order was delivered directly from the kitchen and was wrong, but I never saw my waiter again until long past the time I was finished eating. To go containers took another 10...minutes. I wish I was kidding. Food was good, but I had to pick out all the lettuce I had specifically asked NOT be in my order. Ambience was fine if you like noisy restaurants with lots of staff dashing around but poor service.More

This restaurant sets the bar for great Mexican food. I had the Grilled Shrimp Tacos - to say they were delicious is an understatement. I asked for the poblano sauce on the side and enjoyed every flavorful bite. The charro beans had extra cilantro -...perfection! Rice was so tasty too. Add fantastic service to the mix and this is a place you’ll come back to, just like us.More

I had the worst fish taco of my life here. The fish was not fresh, and the batter was soggy. It was quite fishy tasting, like old fish. Gag worthy. It consisted of a soggy piece of fish in a soft tortilla shell and some...wilted lettuce. No Mexican flavour, nothing delicious about this meal. I was very disappointed because i had researched plenty before visiting the island. This place got good reviews. It was NOT good. Not at all.More

This was a fun place to eat. There was a Mariachi band playing that was pretty good. The food was nice, priced fairly, and the service was good.

We've been coming here, giving good reviews for over a decade. We are seeing a disturbing trend of dogs allowed inside. On this visit, the dog was in the bar area, sitting on a high stool, sharing the food with the owner....an upper middle aged...male. He was bragging that the dog was a "chic magnet." He was not a handicapped or blind man. I asked our server about it, and he said "if a service dog we have to allow it." NO YOU DON"T. You have the right to refuse service to anyone. What happens when half the customers start doing this? It's gonna happen!More

Delicious food and even better service. Hot sauce was excellent, chips were hot and crispy. I had the fajitas. Came out sizzling. The rest of the gang were very happy with their food too. Our server was amazing too. She did an outstanding job.

A group of friends from a small school in Puerto Rico had a reunion in Galveston and we booked a private room at this restaurant. The manager, Jorge, worked with me on a special buffet and helped me to organize a very special night. We...paid for dinner, tax and tips in advance, and the only thing we had to pay for was alcohol. There was plenty of waitstaff to accommodate us, and everyone was exceptionally friendly and organized. We couldn’t have asked for a better spread and variety of food. Thank you so much for your help!More

First of all our server, Eduardo, was wonderful! The chips and salsa were quickly placed. Drinks took a little bit longer than they probably should honestly but we like to extend grace where we can. Eduardo was very busy with a rather large party. The...food was fast and delicious. We left satisfied and would visit again when in the area.More

Reviews say this is “the bes Mexican restaurant in Galveston’” and it probably is. A pleasure able dining experience is about more than the food. The hostess wasn’t friendly or welcoming. The waiter acted like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. Food delivery...was slow and just plopped down on the table. On a positive note, the food was good. Not great, but we liked it well enough. The margaritas were meh. All in all, service performance could use an overhaul.More
