I mean-- talk about a hidden gem. I would not have even pulled in this parking lot-- much less thought to lol for food here. The outside is NOT sexy. But inside is a great atmosphere, good people and really good food so far. We've been twice. We will be back.

This is probably the best Mexican restaurant in the area for food. My all time favorite is El Vaquero in Columbus and Phenix City for food AND best margaritas. This place,I feel, is equivalent to El Vaquero in food quality and service but margaritas are just a small step below....but still very good!
