The food here was absolutely delicious! I had a quesadilla with steak and shrimp and boy did it hit the spot after a long day in the vehicle! My boyfriend also had a vodka lemonade that was made very well! Perfect ratio between lemon and vodka! Our service was satisfactory, she did her job well and quick!

Went on a road trip....stopped to eat. We ordered very interested dishes. I had a pineapple steak, chicken, & shrimp fajitas. It came with rice, beans, lettuce & tomatoes, sour cream, & guacamole. The presentation was spectacular! And the taste was delicious! You'll see in the pictures, I ate it all!!! I also had a margarita with jose cuervo called lime & coconut! Two sips & felt it.... My husband had fajuits also with steak, chicken, & shrimp but his dish was cooked in a stone bowl, it was delivered on a pedestal. He said, there was a lot of meat & it was delicious. Our sever was a gentleman & took care of our table well, checking on us often! Will go again! Pictures to come...

First time there. Great service. Great cooks. Got the classic arrozo con Pollo. Chicken had a great taste, good seasoning with just enough char to give it a little smoke. The free salsa was the best. Sweet with some heat at the end. The best thing they put in a pouring glass so you can put as much as you want in your dipping cup. They bring enough dipping cups for everyone at the table. So, no body has to worry about double dipping . Killer place. Good prices. Shoot from the hip and try it out. Enjoy

We took a drive today up to the Indian Lake Boat Show, and we passed this place I decided on the way back out to stop and eat. This place is not only beautiful it's clean the wait staff we had, he was absolutely wonderful, very attentive ,very efficient. The food was phenomenal! The people up around Russells Point and Indian Lake sure are fortunate to have this place I wish we had one around Dayton and Beavercreek

Absolutely our favorite mexican restaurant around! It's always a good time with great food (try the Tracy's Special) and a friendly, clean environment. The owner is always there working side by side with her crew and a big smile on her face. Highly recommend stopping by and checking out their variety of tequila and margartias! Not to mention, it's right by the lake, AND they have an outside patio! I'm so glad they reopened after the devastating tornado that tried to take them out last year. We will be back for sure.
