What diners say — our read

Popularity and sanitation part ways on this listing. Where service comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.6, so it reads as a strength. Serving size is the next most common subject, in 24% of reviews (averaging 3.8).

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (18 reviews). One subject never comes up here: how clean the place looks. Newer reviews score better than older ones (5.0 recent against 3.6 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average.

Set against that, the state's own inspection graded the kitchen an F (50/100), with 4 high-priority, 4 intermediate, and 6 basic violations recorded. Reviews describe the meal; the grade describes the conditions it was made in. DBPR last walked in on February 18, 2026. Ranked against Brevard County, it is safer than 2% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include food from approved source and potentially hazardous foods properly thawed.

The practical read: people enjoy eating here, and the kitchen still failed its last inspection. Those are separate claims, and only the second one gets checked by anybody. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    Food is always excellent. Service is great. Nice sized portions. Try the table side guacamole! Definitely recommend this place.

    The service was phenomenal, and Jesus really went above and beyond, and the food was to die for. The enchiladas and birra tacos were out of this world. We will definitely be back!

    Es la primera vez que vengo y se ha convertido en mi restaurante favorito, Ronald fue nuestro mesero, fue muy amable y atento con nosotros, el lugar es muy bonito y la música era solamente de cantantes mexicanos, la comida estuvo muy rica y al salir todos se despedían de nosotros, todo el personal muy amable, te hacen sentir como en casa

    I was impressed by the quickness and quality of the food being served. The prices are on the higher side for sure. But they do have some lunch specials.

    Tried this place for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. Even with a good sized crowd, our server was very attentive and the our food came out super quickly. Everything was fresh and delicious, including our margaritas. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone who loves good Mexican food!

    Have eaten here several times. Food, service and atmosphere is great. Had lunch today and ordered the fresh guacamole and fajitas, with a skinny margarita 🍹. Everything was delicious! Valerie was our server and was the best!

    Great little place. Nice theme and great food. Had the blackened chicken salad. Very good.

  • May 28, 2026

    Food was nasty, not worth $20 per plate Stingy with salsa at a Mexican restaurant, chips tasted like soap

  • May 27, 2026

    DO NOT EAT HERE. I’m a local and used to come regularly, but it’s gone down hill since new ownership. Chincey over portions and drinks, to go orders they give you left over chips that taste like cleaner, staff is rude and profit comes before customer service. $80 to go order with 1 (ONE) salsa and I ordered $8 queso dip and they charged me for another bag of chips. I guess they want you to drink the queso

    Food is awesome, but their takeout policy is weird. You get a big bag of chips and one tiny cup of salsa, no matter how many people you’re getting food for. I place an order for each person separately so that everyone eating can have salsa, and pay in cash to avoid the high service fee of paying with card. It also makes it easier for everyone ordering to have the correct bill when I’m picking it up for them. I had four different people trying to take my payment, all speaking in Spanish to each other and acting very annoyed with me. They kept saying “it’s a lot of work to do it this way” while counting my change. Maybe don’t have a cash option if you don’t want to count cash? Or don’t make the tiny to-go salsa cups the same price as the full bowl of salsa you get in-restaurant? Again, the food is very good, and you get great portions and quality for the price, which is why it’s so strange that they nickel-and-dime you on the smallest things. And are so rude about it when they do.
