There are plenty of Mexican restaurants to choose around Anderson and this wouldn’t be my first choice. The best thing about this one is convenience off the interstate. It does have a little nicer dining room than many other Mexican restaurants since it was previously a Fatz Cafe.

The food might have been better if it had been warmer and fresher. The portion was good and I like the way the tacos were served with onions and cilantro on the side to add as I please. I think the flavor of the food was ok but it wasn’t “hot plate” or even very fresh in my opinion - like the meats and sides had been on a warmer for hours and the warmer wasn’t even warm enough.

The prices seem a little higher than other Mexican restaurants too. Again the portions might be a little bigger but that probably depends on the dish.

We had to ask multiple times for things we needed at our table - like more salsa which we never did get and a side dish we did get but also not warm.

I imagine I’ll try this place again at some point since I live in the area, but I can name three or four other places I’d drive a little further to based on this first impression.

Came and tried this place again and I probably won’t be back. This time the food was better. Tried the seafood and it was pretty good. Mexican and seafood is an odd theme combo but the seafood was good.

The service wasn’t really any better unfortunately. And this time I observed a disdain for cleanliness that is unacceptable for me.

I watched as the table beside us was cleaned and it didn’t seem too important to make it welcoming for the next customer.

Also the bathrooms were nasty.
