Best Mexican restaurant in Mauldin! Authentic, delicious and well priced. The portion sizes are huge. The service is fast and friendly. They start you out with complimentary chips, a fresh salsa bar and a warm bean dip. The chips were amazing, freshly made and still warm with just the right amount of salt. I ordered the Shrimp enchilada with beans and rice and it was fantastic and more than I could eat. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this place. I love Mexican food all the way around, but this place does it the best. I ate here once on a lunch break at work, and literally thought about coming back multiple times over the next week until I could find time to come back again. 10/10 by far my favorite place I've found while visiting South Carolina.

This one is close to our house so we come here more often. It’s always clean, service is always 10/10 and the food... always good and consistent.

This restaurant is like walking into another country. Such a happy place, bright colors, great decor. And if you go away hungry you can't blame the cook. The portions are Hugh. We took half of our food home. I highly recommend dining here. You will not be dissappointed. Second verse....same as the first. Great restaurant.

The food was really delicious, and the service was pretty good. I decided to have the pineapple fajitas and I was glad I selected that one . But the atmosphere was not so good. It was a very noisy place, and a lot of the noise actually came from the kitchen.

While this is one of many locations of this chain, it is a quality establishment and took good care of us. We visited the first time during the aftermath of the hurricane, so the crowd was insane and the staff both overwhelmed and stressed, yet they still took good care of us. The food was just right and, even with the sheer number to serve, they got it to us in a reasonable timeframe.

Last time I ate here was really good, I can’t remember the guy who attended me but his service was overall excellent. He had white hair. Will def recommend this place as it has excellent food at a very good price too.
