So happy this place is here ! Have been twice and had excellent meals each time. Food is very tasty, fresh and high quality. Lots of drink options including many types of margaritas. My partner and I both commented that the food is much better than a lot of regular places we are used to. Its casual but more of a sit down, apps/drinks/desserts kind of dining situation which was also sorely needed in the authentic Mexican food in the area, while still having an affordable and diverse menu. Service is attentive, friendly and professional; food arrived quickly but we did not feel hurried. the chips and salsa are delicious. It is very clean inside and smells great.
My only complaint is the lighting and noise. The lights are very bright white LED bulbs that you can’t even really look at. The walls are cool gray so the whole interior feels kind of icy and sterile. Black leather studded booths are comfy and nice but the overall atmosphere is kind of weird.Also both times I have been in there was no music playing and several TVs on. It felt too loud, too bright while also being a sit down booth place so was hard to relax. None of it is a dealbreaker but I wish there was a bit of a calmer, warmer decor or light situation. would be easier to deal with color schemes if the lighting was lower and warmer but the combo is awful.

Read moreFirst time trying this place and I would say it's in the top five best Mexican restaurants in the quad cities. This restaurant is a blend of Americanized and authentic Mexican food.
The food was fantastic. I got the Hawaiian fajitas and my wife got the shrimp enchiladas. I would definitely order that again but the menu is so large that I have to try something the next time we stop in. The chips and salsa which is a staple at all Mexican restaurants was great. The chips were thick, crispy and salty. The salsa was chunky and fresh. Five stars for the food. See video and pictures attached.
The service was equally as good. We stopped in on a Friday night and was able to get seated very quickly, we were greeted immediately when we sat down and did not have to wait for drinks. After we ordered, we waited maybe 8 to 10 minutes. Server checked on us. And could not ask for better service. The prices reflect the quality of the food and the portion sizes.
The Establishment is super nice and super clean with an awesome bar. The bathrooms are super clean, plenty of parking outside and overall a great experience.
I will definitely be back again to try more items off the menu and I would highly encourage anyone in the area to try...
Read moreNow...my most favorite & Authentic Mexican Restaurant of all. I live in Sterling, IL & the Mexican food choices are many. Your Restaurant has made a great impression on my taste buds & your customer service is hard to beat. The whole atmosphere there, was so welcoming that I didn't want to leave. Most of all....the Menu is over the top, high quality fresh everything. I enjoyed the Shrimp entree with other veggies in it, to put in a Tortilla & eat Heavenly recipes. Both mild & hot salsa were very addictive with the Chips. Also....the prices were very reasonable, so the whole combination will definitely bring me back. I'm anxious for my wife to visit your Restaurant with me. I look forward to many more visits in your Restaurant. Just lastly, well done EVERYONE, YOU TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK & it shows. Best wishes for much success & may God always carry you all, throughout your business years & God Bless your Families. Thank-you for a memorable eating experience. Yours...
