I cant speak for the entire menu, but the shrimp and grits are really good. Probably not the best Ive ever had, but very very good. The Jalapa sauce has similar characteristics to a Vodka sauce. Also, the side of veggies was a big bowl of deliciousness, you will definitely be full after this meal. I will definitely get the shrimp and grits on my next visit.

Food was excellent! Fiesta shrimp was awesome. Also had rosemary chicken salad which was great. The chef really knows what he is doing and all the items we had were homemade you could tell. Service was fast and very attentive. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 only because it does not have a lunch menu which would be nice.

This place is a hole in the wall but its amazing. Great food and a friendly staff, the prices have went up a bit in the last year but we still think its worth it. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a few TVs that always have a game on. Fair warning: parking can be scarce at times.

Having been an understudy for a Mexican chef, this is the place for reasonably priced darned great cuisine. Hector is a whiz in the kitchen! Presentation is amazing...every table wowed when their food arrived at the table. Highly recommend!!

The fish tacos are my favorite, but everything Ive had there has been delicious! The service was also excellent---the waitress seemed to anticipate our every need, but without hovering or smothering.

Great local restaurant...Hector is a fantastic chef. They have your traditional tacos and burritos, but Hector also crafts RIDICULOUS authentic specials. Definitely worth a trip!!

Great food, excellent customer service and excellent selection of different dinner or lunch plates. Customer service is spot on and the atmosphere is lively. Highly recommend.

The food and service are both awesome! This is not at all like all the other Mexican restaurants - they have exciting and fresh choices, and the classics are also way better!

The shrimp tacos were ah-may-zing! The waiter, Oscar, was welcoming, professional, and quite dashing. He provided excellent recommendations and a memorable dining experience.

Service was good but the food was not and the restaurant was not clean. Paid same price as going to a any other sit down restaurant for food that was very basic.

Liked sitting outside on their front porch drinking from ice cold mugs and eating a quesadilla. Fish tacos were great. Will come back again and again.

Stale chips. And they got a pathetic 75 on their health inspection. I will not be back there.
