Love going here!!! Been a few times now and the food is never a let down!!! I tired a new dish with pineapples and shrimp and it was AMAZING!!!!! The drinks were good and salsa was on point !!! The place was packed but only good places stay that busy!

Great service, the best salsa and queso around, and really lively atmosphere! I ordered the caldo de mariscos (seafood soup). The waiter warned me that it takes extra time to prepare. It took right under 30 minutes, but man, this soup is worth the wait! Loaded with everything, boiling hot, seasoned perfectly. It's a feast in a bowl!

Danilo was a fantastic server! I ordered the papa fajitas and the portion was gigantic. The food was okay, but nothing special. The restaurant was a little too loud so it was difficult to talk to my husband.

I think i found my new favorite Mexican restaurant! It's definitely a "come starving" kind of place. The food portions are huge. Very delicious. The salsa...ADDICTING. The fajitas...so good. I ate alot, but still took alot home as well. I will for sure be coming back!

Everything looked good & was delicious. My husband chose this Mexican Restaurant because his friends told him that Robots bring the food to the table, but that wasn't the case when we visited today for Lunch. We ordered 2 items from the Specials of the Day. My husband had Alambres and a Pink Lemonade. I ordered Chicken and Rice dish with a side of Refried Beans and a Sweet Tea. The Salsa was a chunky salsa which my husband liked. The Women's bathroom was clean & had 2 spacious stalls that were made to look like horse stalls with a big, somewhat heavy door. They were beautiful. Before we left, I ordered a Horchata to go. It's delicious. Oh, the waitress said the Robot was sleeping in the Kitchen. The waitress brought it out for us to see! So cool!

Great atmosphere for dining. Lots of cool lighting and a beautiful bar area. We had the cheese dip fresh guacamole and salsa to start. The beer was icy cold and served in a huge mug that weighed about 5 pounds. The chicken and rice Verde burrito and chimichanga were all good. Good service with table side guacamole. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We visited again and had the fajitas. There was also a robot that delivered food to the table next to us. What a beautifully decorated place.

The menu has changed a few times and my husbands favorite was the buffalo shrimp which has been taken off the menu. Honestly if they added that back we would visit more. The pics are from a girls night we had there and the cocktail de Cameron was delicious. I've been craving it ever since. The margaritas are strong so if you aren't a big drinker I definitely recommend sharing the flight. I can also recommend the soup. It's very wholesome and comfort food when you need it!

Our favorite place to eat in Hartselle!!! We always try to ask for Lupita, she takes such good care of us!!
