One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Daytona! Pictured is the Taco Salad Fajita and Carnitas (braised pork tips) never a disappointment!

The food was great, and the service was excellent. This is a pretty standard traditional Mexican restaurant, but i thought the service was wonderful. Our waiter was on top of it and we got our food very fast. They have ground beef too, which can be hard to find sometimes. I'd highly recommend coming here for some quality Mexican food!

This is an amazing place. We came here mainly because it seemed like chips and salsa were included. Some places around the area do not have it included so this was a draw to us. We had to wait at the door for about 10 minutes because they were busy. Don't let this deter you. They had so many options that I have not seen other places before, the food was so delicious. I loved both mine and my boyfriends meal. The portion sizes were very very generous. We made it two meals with the unlimited chip refills. The salsa was fresh, spicy and good. The service was so quick we did not have to wait for chip or drink refills. The sweet tea was fantastic. We were hesitant to come here at first because the reviews were negative about the bathrooms. But the whole facility was clean and as it should be. I highly recommend.

We were in the area for vacation; first time going here. They were polite and I got speedy service. I don't have any problems with things being spicy or hot in any way, but I didn't find the items ordered to have that problem if you fear hot or spicy foods. The meats were not tough or overcooked. I did find the guacamole to be a bit too much lime but that is my opinion.

My husband and I are visiting from upstate NY and were looking for an authentic Mexican meal. We found this place and tried it based on the reviews. We were nervous at first seeing their multiple locations that it was going to be a chain restaurant, but it fortunately was not at all! It was absolutely phenomenal!! Our server was amazing and our meals were even better! We ordered an app and our meals came out maybe 5 mins after the app was delivered. While I thoroughly appreciate the quick service, you may wish to put your food order in after your almost done your app as our whole experience was very quick ! Again, our experience was wonderful though, and we would not hesitate for a second to come back!

Came here with a large group from a local hotel. 2 for 1 drinks never hurt and I thought the frozen Margaritas were tasty. They had sizzling platters that were very good and very reasonable. We chose the sizzling carnitas platter. Will definitely come here again! Sorry I didn't get a photo of the Sizzling Menu. 10.98 Enjoy!
