About this business

The sombreros and parrots, mixed with the Mexican music in the background, could fool diners into thinking they stepped into a fiesta. This good old-fashioned restaurant is serious about its Mexican food, served with a progressive touch. From breakfasts of huevos, rancheros or migas to dinners of grilled chicken, shrimp, fajitas and more, the food here does not fail to satisfy. The atmosphere is casual; the patio is terrific and the hot sauce is great.

I always love this place, but today I was ignored at the bar. Went in with my wife with pastor nachos on my mind. Waited for 15 minutes as the bartender took care of an older gentleman next to me and never even offered me a drink or a water. I ended up leaving very disappointed and angry because I drove from Buda to eat and drink with y’all. I’ll most likely be back but hopefully next time I can get some decent service. (There was only 3 people at the bar including me and my wife)
