Cute place. Great outside patio! Poor service. Bland food. MN is better at making fajitas than this place near MX, absolutely no spices at all. Over priced margaritas. Best around - no!

Service was a bit lacking - waiter was not always there to help. We did get seated quickly on a Sunday for lunch but they do get very busy so try to go in off times. There is a lot of seating. The carne asada...was great. Chips were served warm!More

Fairly generic decorations with a nice patio just off of main street in historic Grapevine. Lots of Tex-Mex standards and some unique stuff. Shrimp enchiladas were tender and plentiful and the sides were great. Limited draft beers but plenty of margarita choices.

This spot was below average. Texmex choices were bland and flavorless. We had puff tacos, enchiladas, grilled chicken taco salad and flautas. The flautas and Queso were good. We won’t be back though. Wait staff was not attentive and did not check on us for...refills. Previous reviews were nothing like we experienced.More

The service was great. Refills on salsa, drinks, and chips were given before we even asked. Food was out quickly and hot.

Saw reviews online and since we just moved to Grapevine, TX we thought we would support our Local Restaurants. Atmosphere is very Lively . Loved the Artwork. That's about it. Food was bland . No SPICE. Food tasted as if it were specifically catered to...Caucasian People . $7.99 for small dish of Queso cheese dip with Zero Meat. Explain to me how you make traditional Queso Dip without meat. It was called queso con chile, but still it had no kick. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, but it was so loud with everyone talking over each other that we pretty much couldn't talk to each other much less our waiter. Ended up with a migraine due to the noise. Maybe open a window? Or turn on some music? Something to disperse the noise. I think I might have enjoyed this place more had we sat outside, but today was not the weather for it. If you like mild food and are ok with very loud conversations all around you then this is the place for you.More

We went during Christmas and were disappointed with the 2 skinny enchiladas and small rice and bean portions for $14 per plate. Took less than 5 minutes to eat. Margaritas were tasty but weak on alcohol.

Really good Tex-Mex place in Grapevine. Our first visit as we need a place for the eight of us before we took the Polar Express Christmas Train from Grapevine. Arrived at 3:30pm on a Friday expecting a pretty empty place and plenty of time to...make our 4:30 check-in for the Polar Express. Wrong! Place was packed, but they quickly put two tables together for us and got us served and out in plenty of time to make check-in without feeling rushed. Super service! My enchiladas were excellent and my wife enjoyed her tortilla soup. All the grands lived their meals as did our son and daughter-in-law. And, let me add…the draft beer was nice and cold. What’s not to like. First visit…will not be our last. And…there is plenty of free parking available.More

We always enjoy this restaurant when we are in town and the weather permits patio dining. Excellent food and service. Not the cheapest tex mex by any stretch, so if you're not up for $25 per person may want to find another place to get...your fix for tex mex. But if you're good with that definitely give this place a try.More

That's a good question. I've not had wine there, but even though they are your standard Mexican Food place, they have a big wrap around fully stocked bar so I imagine they do. If you want some good wines, hit the winery's... More
