We always have a great time when we eat here. It is a wonderful locally owned restaurant. The food is excellent and freshly prepared, the staff is friendly and attentive, and we feel so welcome every time we eat here. This is our go to place for a casual dinner, or a birthday celebration, or taking out of town friends to eat. Across the board all of the food is good and between our large family and as many times as we've eaten here, we've probably tried just about everything.

Music is good as my wife and I walk in before five PM. The server is welcoming and attentive. The menu is huge with meat, chicken, fish, and even vegetarian selections. We order fish dishes. Each was delicious and portions were generous.

Great food after a long day of duck hunting. Could not have asked for better service. Food came very quickly, and was much more than I was expecting for the price. They brought us chips choice.

I"ve been here a bunch. Usually eat in but I've done takeout before too. It's been great every time. It's a pretty standard tex mex restaurant, but it's well executed. Tasty food, family friendly atmosphere, friendly service. Occasionally slow.

My boyfriend and I moved to this town from out of state this past year. We decided to try this place out, soon after and it instantly became our #1 food spot, here in Tappahannock. Always, amazing service by all of the wonderful waiters & waitresses, especially Johanna! Food is always hot and delicious! You guys are the best!

Went out with friends after church! It was pretty good!! The staff was friendly towards us even tho they were busy! It was a bit slow waiting for our stuff, but that was probably from being there around 12 on a Sunday! I had the Fajita Nachos on the appetizers as I wasn't that hungry, but the portion size was huge! I was expecting much smaller and was sad we had a long drive ahead and couldn't take it with me. Overall, definitely recommend for some decent Mexican food!
