One of our favorite Mexican restaurants in Morganton. The fried Chimi Changas are great.

Food was pretty good and the service we got was excellent! Waiter came and checked on us a few time asking how our food was and if we needed anything. I was really surprised at how fast our food came out. We came in a group of four and all our food came out together. First time here and had a great experience!

It was ok. Good food, good drinks, pleasant waiters. Price was right. The chairs and tables are all made out of carved wood. I saw a lot of gringos drinking the corona margarita with an upside down bottle of beer sticking up in a glass.

Good food and service. Prices are average. $ 23.00 for two plus tip. I loved the décor. The bar is in the back which is nice because I would rather not sit by it. The restaurant in a good location in Morgantown. The serving size is smaller than what I get at another close Mexican restaurant. That is the only Reason I gave it only 4 stars.

Great friendly and fast service. Loved the chips and salsa. I had a chicken chimichanga with cheese sauce that was awesome. If I have time, I will return here during my two week trip…

Excellent service, great food! Love the cheese dip, the salsa is one of my favorites! Have to get a chicken taco, the stewed chicken is delicious! The chili conqueso with chicken is also amazing and super cheap. You can eat and be full for under $ 5. Can’t beat that at a fast food place. Love it here.

The service isn’t overwhelming with either speed of friendliness. The food is subpar despite having a very thorough menu. The house chips are really great but suffer when accompanied by possibly the worst salsa i’ve ever been given. The entire experience was awful. I had a margarita that tasted entirely like mix, where’s the tequila? I couldn’t bring myself to order more than just one taco after how bad my appetizer was along with the terrible salsa and miserable margarita. At least they were thorough in being awful, the taco was a hard shell with beef and cheese that tasted worse than what you could get for cheaper at Taco Bell. Interestingly, their menu starts with an introduction to Mexican food, but i doubt they’ve ever eaten any.

Great food at a great price! I highly recommend the Beef Tortas. Service is always excellent and the restaurant is always clean. Veggie Fajitas aren’t bad either … ?!
They’ve added a salsa bar and the chips are always fresh and hot!
