Let me start by saying how surprised I was to see an authentic Mexican restaurant in a place like Sylvan Beach! The atmosphere is very cool inside with Mexican music playing an overall cool vibe. You get served fresh warm tortillas with the best salsa I've ever had, you can taste the freshness in every bite. For those that may be sensitive to heat I'd say unless you have an extremely low tolerance than no worries here, the salsa had just a pleasant heat to it that builds the more you eat but never to a level that's unpleasant. I had shrimp tacos with a side of beans and rice. The beans were fantastic as was the rice, I loved how simple everything was yet so delicious. The shrimp in my taco was very fresh, cooked perfectly. They were tender and well seasoned, the sauce for my taco brought the whole thing together perfectly. My wife had the chicken fajitas, they came out on a sizzling cast iron skillet. The chicken was cooked perfectly, it was tender, juicy and delicious! The peppers and onions were perfectly caramelized. Now you may be asking why not give 5 stars? The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because you only get 2 tiny tortillas with your fajitas, you can see in my pic how much you get with this meal. What are you doing with 2 small tortillas? Of course we asked for more twice because you can make at least 5 fajitas out of this. It made me feel like I was in TGI Fridays, in the future I hope they start you out with at least 4 shells. The service was fantastic, the waiter was very nice and very attentive even though we were the only people in the restaurant Lol. I hope this place does well, I highly recommend it and will definitely...
Read moreMeh. Not impressive Mexican by any means.
We came in because we had a desire for Mexican and it was ok. Nothing more. Several things were disappointing about our visit. First, it was VERY hot and they had an open dining room with no air conditioning, so that wasn’t great. The second thing was while they have drinks on their menu - they do not serve alcohol because they don’t have their liquor license yet.
So when you go out of your way to enjoy a Mexican meal and can’t wait for a margarita - you can imagine the disappointment when you can’t get one.
The chips and salsa were good and came quickly to the table as soon as we were seated. The service was probably the best part of our dinner and it wasn’t fantastic, merely passable.
The meals were also nothing special. I had a chicken burrito and it was lacking in flavor.
Lastly, the decor is a weird mix of motorcycle theme, gas station theme, and other oddities hanging from the walls. A very odd vibe. Almost like they either didn’t know what to do or just left the decor from the previous establishment and moved into...
Read moreIt was my family's first time here and it was just okay. We were bummed to find out that they didn't have their liquor license yet but that is to be expected with a new business. We were seated promptly and got our drinks/food quickly. There were 4 of us with a toddler and they sat us at a small table with barely any space for all the dishes that were brought out. The shrimp fajitas were disappointing. The vegetables were under cooked and very hard, the beans were bland and you only get 2 small tortilla wraps for a whole bunch of food. My boyfriend's chicken and steak fajitas were not good. The chicken and steak were overcooked, dry and almost uneatable because of all the char on them. Also his vegetables were hard and undercooked. The rice was good but a little dry. The chips had no taste but the salsa was delicious. We had empty cups the entire time and the server never came back after we got our food to ask if we wanted refills or needed anything else. Overall, pretty disappointed considering they had...
