Excellent Mexican food... Their Nachos and Tacos are excellent... So is the Texas Fajita... And an awesome array of beautiful looking cocktails... We were celebrating my wife's birthday and the team joined in to sing and perform and offer free shots of tequila... The decor is beautiful too... Wonderful experience!

I had the ACP and it was so good! The chicken was tender, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and that cheese sauce? Chef’s kiss. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely hitting this spot again next time I’m craving Mexican comfort food!

Delicious food, generous portion sizes, good enough patio space, great selection of margaritas. Their prices are reasonable. I was also surprised to see plenty of vegetarian options on their menu. This can be your perfect next door Mexican restaurant.

Good experience and great tasting food. The presentation was top tier. Just the right amount of food, not over the top, but just right. Wife love the creamy chipotle sauce over her plaza del mar.

I had a wonderful experience here! The quality of the food and the presentation is on point 10 out of 10, I decided to try a cocktail and I had a Paloma super refreshing and it tasted like alcohol well balanced honestly! The restaurant looks great and its maintain super clean. Bathrooms are clean. Service is great, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. The music that was being played was fantastic and the fresh guacamole was unbeatable thank you guys. You guys are doing a great job.

Delicious Mexican food and huge portions! The salsa had just the right amount of spice. They are able to accommodate larger groups with ease. Highly recommend the chicken fajitas or the pork carnitas. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great ambiance. We were celebrating two birthdays and it really made their night to have the entire restaurant sing to them. I’ll be back soon for a giant margarita!

Absolutely delicious food right from the start. We were greeted by very friendly staff seated comfortably, served chips with fresh salsa, added in extra Queso and guacamole which to our delight was custom made fresh at our table! Definitely recommend getting the guacamole!! Delicious! We had fajita dishes that were served sizzling with fresh vegetables, fresh shrimp, chicken and steak all delicious. With Margarita, beer and extras it still was reasonably priced for the fresh enormous portions we were served! I highly recommend this place in Briar Creek. Marie was our server and was fantastic!
