Restaurant wasn't busy so we were seated quickly. Waitress was pleasant but more concerned with the people seated behind us & a party later that night. She never bothered to ask if we needed refills on drinks or any other service we might have needed. Food was so so. Our order had 2 dried up tortilla's. Wouldn't recommend wasting your... More

The food here was okay - not the best Mexican we have had. The chips and salsa were good. My husband had the nine layer dip, which was very filling. I had the guacamole enchiladas. Both were okay, just not spectacular. Our waitress was nice, but not overly friendly, which was uncharacteristic to many other places we have been in... More

We met friends here for dinner at 6PM on a week night - we were among the first diners for the evening. We were greeted and seated quickly but when my chair was pulled out I was appalled at all the food and filth under my chair. Had it not been our friend's choice of restaurants I might have left...

For those who are not accustomed to good Mexican food, this place may not be the pits. However, those who KNOW Mexican food would probably not frequent this place. Decor is not inviting, furniture is old and of poor quality, bathrooms are not clean and in good order. But most important, the food "no es nada llamativa" - nothing special... More

Seems very outdated and food wasn't that great. The margaritas were huge and tummy if you like strong ones. Not bad but won't eat here again.

We've been here several times and we love the food! We try to always try something new. I did notice the last time the waitress wasn't on point as we were use to having there, but maybe she was new.

The food was average and prices ok, but everything was worn out or broken, and worse still the place was filthy. The bathrooms were particularly nasty.

I was skeptical when I heard such amazing reviews of this place and never thought it would live up to it. Boy was I wrong. We had the molcajete, queso, guac, and their award winning "fruit loop" margarita. And it was amazing. The sauce was full of flavor and the salsa was actually spicy. The service was excellent too. Loved... More

This USED to be our favorite mexican restaurant in Colorado Springs....great food and GREAT margaritas. Our experience the last 2 times has been terrible and we won't go back - ever. Margaritias were weak and tasteless and I ordered the spinach & chicken enchaladas. They came about in less than 10 minutes....all spinach, very little cheese, almost no chicken...the taco... More

In 2012, we (locals) made 3 visits: 1) off season weekday- our food was out before we got our bottled beer and it tasted that way. Awful After hearing so many good reviews from friends, we decided to go back. 2) off season weekend- good experience all around! Since we thought it was good after this last experience, we thought...
