We went this past Sunday and the food was amazing! Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. The portions were fantastic. The menu was 10-20 per plate. We had the tacos and stuffed shrimp and it was delicious. You do get complimentary chips and salsa as well. Their alcohol is good we had a ranch water and a mango margarita which tasted fresh and tasty. Would definitely try it again, you should check it out!
After having a bad experience our family of 10 found this restaurant. They were able to seat us outside which was nice. Had fresh salsa & chips waiting. The ceviche was amazing as was everything we ordered. The bonus was the hospitality & service. Thank you for making our one day in Galveston before we boarded a cruise ship amazing!
Definitely kid friendly my toddler Definitely felt like she was included. A little expensive but the service made up for it. Wish I remembered the servers name he was one of the best I've ever had. The fajitas were as good a expected, and the chicken fajitas were flavorful and juice. Some restaurants cannot cook chicken well and this one did it good.
Super good! We are here because we are going on a cruise out of Galveston. We wanted to try Tex Mex and this place has good reviews. I got shrimp and lobster tacos which were super good and reasonably priced. The sour cream was way way good and I didn’t think it was just sour cream, but the waiter said it was homemade! My husband loved his cheese enchiladas as well, and we also tried the churros which were amazing! My husband even said he’d come back just for the churros. My husband also loved the chips and salsa and specifically appreciated that they serve two kinds of salsa and being fresh chips for free. Good service and fun environment too.
I think I found a new favorite place! From the very moment I stepped inside, everything was perfect. The food, the service, the atmosphere! Even the beans were phenomenal:)
Good service and perfect location. The quesadilla with chicken was really good. And the chips with the queso salsa were delicious. I got the 4 piece Besos or something like that. They were alright I only ate one because their were too salty for my liking and server simply didn’t even ask if food was ok but I still paid for them.
We found this place just walking down around the strand; it was so good! Joe our server was amazing, if you stop by make sure to ask for him! We tried the Tacos Al Carbon and that fajita just melted in your mouth!.. the Spicy Tuna Ceviche was delicious!! It was a perfect ending for our anniversary trip.. definitely will come back when I’m the area!!
Everything was absolutely phenomenal. From the cilantro cream dip to the fajitas and everything in between. Our server was delightful and after a slight mistake, the manager was very kind and considerate. Will absolutely stop here again next rally season.
