Second time at this location. The service is fast and friendly. The food is delicious and well prepared. There are multiple options for all different tastes and dietary preferences. We will continue to eat here when we are in the Lakeland area!
Our waitress, Jenna, was so incredibly nice and helpful that I included a picture of her with the review (with her permission prior to taking). The restaurant was beautiful, great atmosphere, and even has a statue with a water fountain you can make wishes at. Murals all over and the food wasn't just good but it was reasonably priced. Two people with an appetizer ran around $54.00. Will definitely go back.
This was our first time here and we have a great time there, The Food was so delicious the plates big . super, the attendance was very nice and I ask a couple questions of recommendations and she was very attentive and nice. I totally recommend this place for Mexican food.
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Every time we go, our hostess is quick to greet us and friendly. Our server is usually very tentative , friendly and helpful. The food is delicious! Every dish I’ve ordered has been incredible. The prices may seem a bit expensive, but the platter size & taste is more than worth every penny. I highly recommend this place if you’re wanting a sophisticated, delicious, friendly atmosphere and some Mexican food. You won’t be disappointed.
First off I drove 35 miles to go to this restaurant. My friend was adamant that this was one of the best Mexican restaurants around. It did not disappoint! I do recommend bringing a jacket because they keep the restaurant pretty cold. The food was delicious. We got the three salsas and the appetizer combo. I still cant decide which salsa I liked more, but I think the salsa verde! The queso with the meat was so good! We got the grande meal and a burrito with queso over it. We ate it ALL. We will be going back! Make sure to go when you are really hungry and wear loose pants!
Really great food. We met up with friends and we all had wonderful authentic food experiences. All plates came hot! We noticed that a number of people here were celebrating milestones. It's an appropriate place to dress up a little and the decor and atmosphere is classy and has a good feel.
Our first time here and it was wonderful! Our waitress Karina was the best! We had a large party of 14 and she was great. Drinks and food came out quickly, refills of drinks and chips happened like magic! The food was excellent.
Delicious! Celebrated my wife’s birthday with wonderful drinks and a meal. The food was delicious. Our server checked on us often and took good care of us. No waiting, we were immediately seated. I used the reservation feature on google maps. Plenty of free parking. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our lunch here and if in the area would definitely go again. We had the lunch quesadilla and lunch Durango burrito. Both were quite big for lunch size so the full meal one must be huge! Both were delicious and the only criticism I have is that neither were particularly spicy. Even the "hot" sauce given was pretty mild so not very authentic Mexican. We still really enjoyed it and we especially liked that they give chips and 3 different kinds of salsa.
I come to this restaurant fairly often. The food is always excellent. The drinks are always on point. Occasionally we have have to wait for a table, but never long. Their service is wonderful. However, this trip became a whole dining experience because of our server Daniel (Dan B on our check). He was observant, attentive, polite, never intrusive, fast. Just seriously excellent, professional service that is rare these days. Daniel is probably in the top 10% of hospitality professionals I have experienced. If you see this Dan, THANK YOU!
