    Amazing family place. Super quick service. No issues. We will be back. Food was good, hot, and tasty.

    I had the best Chicharrones that I have ever tasted here. It is worth the 45-minute drive for me, I would say. In addition, their quesadilla is two quesadillas in one serving and they're packed with cheese and chicken. Delicious food, delicious drinks, and a nice atmosphere.

    Excellent food.

  • June 5, 2026

    Always delicious and always tastes fresh. Best taco salads. Nachos are a must try as well. Best chips and salsa in town

    We've been to this place many times, and put up with the average food b/c they make the best margaritas in town, but we're never visiting again! They advertise their table service hours til 9pm on week-days, we got here on Taco Tuesday just after sunset 8:45[ half the place was turned upside down with the cleaning crew mopping the floors using heavy duty chemicals , the place smelled like a chemical plant. It took 5 min for someone to seat us and another 5-min for the waiter to show up and when we ordered drinks he said "the bar is closed" and "you need to hurry up and place your order the kitchen is closing in 2-minutes" The rudeness was over the top! treating customers like a nuisance, like we were there to beg for change and free food. How does the owner or management allow their restaurant to smell like Chernobyl while people are still eating? and how do they allow their staff to treat customers with such contempt? I guess they were upset b/c we were the last table of the night, but the sun had barely set and this restaurant is located in the busiest intersection of a town of 60k people, on one of the busiest nights (Taco Tuesday) and they don't expect anyone to come in after 8:30???? And they're also the most expensive Mexican restaurant, the four of us would have spent over $200. What a bunch of clowns! If you want to close before the sunset, then open a taco truck on a desolate road in Seville, not on INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY IN A TOWN OF 60K WITH A HUGE COLLEGE STUDENT…

    Well...never thought I would have to worry about my husband dying while having an enchilada. Deathly allergic to pineapple and there were many chunks throught it. No mention of it on the menu at all. Mention it to the server and no apologies at all...what would have been done if his airways had closed during his meal...I am so glad he takes his time. As far as quality of other food not great. I got a Ceci combo and could not tell difference at all between an enchilada and a burrito. Friend did not enjoy her pork meal. Rice was very hard and bland. Not on my recommend list.

    Pork chops on point tonight! So tasty!😋

  • May 10, 2026

    Second time coming here... Great food, price is very reasonable service was excellent, highly recommend!!! The first time here, I took the family here for dinner, and we were a party of five. Service was great, food was great. The best of all we paid for appetizers, drinks, and dinner under $150 for a party of five. Great value. I will definitely be going back.

    Los mejores quesobirria que he comido, los recomendó al 100%

    Nice decor inside. There is plenty of parking. They have 2 areas to eat outdoors. Our food was very good and the service was as well.

  • May 5, 2026

    Not what I would call traditional Mexican. My chicken taco tasted like pork and my flour shell was not toasted. Nothing here couldn't have gotten at my local gas station. The matradee was a crazy person, repremanding employees in Spanish and escorting them to their stations putting that in front of seating guests. I wouldn't expect to see this place around in a year or so. On another note, wait staff were very friendly and eager to please.

    My wife and I drove to Deltona to do some antiquing and we stumbled across the restaurant and went in for dinner. It was good food and service.

  • April 29, 2026

    Great service and sitting outside was a treat. Went back recently things were not as good, food, service 😑
