Lisa Ferguson-SellsOctober 13, 2014Love love love the salsa - it's more like a chunky pico de gallo. Food was delicious. Think it depends on what you like. Nice sangria. Hostess wasn't super friendly but otherwise good experience
Jen BadeauxJuly 14, 2012With the mixed reviews we were skeptical but we tried it anyway. We were very pleased! All 6 of us enjoyed our dinners and service was spot on. Yummy cheese dip too.
Stephanie ChambersOctober 2, 2016Fajitas Were Amazing!! We had a group of 7, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Everything was super fresh!! The ratings had me worried!!
Steve LeeAugust 2, 2018The salsa is genuine Mexican recipe, guacamole is very good as is the queso. Best Chile Rellenos I ever ate. Real Mexican.
Kevin EatonApril 8, 2015Flautas were great! Had great service from Lebron! Good place for a group and looks like a nice patio area in the summer.
Jennifer ReyesJuly 25, 2017The food was excellent; the service was awesome. It was a great experience. Thank you No Way Jose. 😊
- Zach AndersonOctober 31, 2013Large portions, good margaritas, and good service. A refreshing stop right off from the Aquarium. Definitely going here again!
The seafood fajitas are pretty tasty. Consistently good food.
Todd PackAugust 17, 2013Patio is 21 & over only. If you have kids, ask for a seat overlooking the river. There are usually ducks swimming.
Leora WoodrowSeptember 23, 2014I had "The Outrageous" Chimichanga and a Banana marg. It was outrageously good! My family (all 7 of us) enjoyed the meal.
Ellen MillerJune 10, 2012The food is very good. The servers are great,friendly and makes sure you get everything you want.
- Bev RogersApril 10, 2013Good Mexican food in the mountains? YES and it's super reasonably priced too!
Lee ShackelfordNovember 22, 2012Caution the "fried ice cream" isn't fried ice cream at all! Just vanilla topped with whipped cream!
AmandaJanuary 26, 2014so you like microwaved tortillas with American cheese? this is the place for you!
Doug SmithSeptember 3, 2011Try the fresh guacamole - superb !! Excellent food & very cute & friendly waiter !!- Allie Marie SilvernaleSeptember 26, 2012Ultimate tacos are DELICIOUS!!! N bartender was extremely nice!! :)
Jennifer RaeJuly 26, 2014HORRIBLE! Salsa sucked, had three rude waitresses at the bar, no substitutions allowed, very loud host, this place was not worth the price. We ended up in Pigeon @ Villa Zapata - hands down the best:)
Libby HagedonMay 19, 2013Best way to describe this place: meh. Bland salsa, lukewarm cheese enchilada with melted, then cooled, then served cheddar cheese inside. Not flavorful.- Jennifer RaeJuly 26, 2014Oh, can't forget about ALL the onion in almost every dish. Once again. HORRIBLE place.
Chad TownsApril 14, 2013So No Way to eating here! . Server is arguing with me over food that poorly prepared . My chimi was literally dripping grease and pooling on plate. App came after entree, which was wrong at that.
Demi GregoryOctober 8, 2011Epic FAIL...bad service (she was new...but she through a cup of lemons at me because she wasn't looking at what she was doing), food wasn't very good, and the wait was not worth the quality of food!!
Devon CaseyApril 7, 2012Nothing special. Food is decent, service is okay. It survives on gimmick-hungry tourism and that's about all it's got goin for it.

"Homemade warm salas are amazing here. The chops and several seasonal dips come along side of the meal. Quesadillas are fantastic, I prefer the chicken."
