Really good Mexican food. FOOD: The chips were good and the salsa was bright with good flavor. I will ask for spicy next time. The torta was delicious and had a nice balanced flavor. The chicken chimichanga has really tender and flavorful meat and was a fair portion with rice beans and fresh guac salad and sour cream. It could have used a bit more time to get that crisp crunch. The tea was spot on. SERVICE: The service was good. LOCATION: Midtown, right at the center of Pelham Road, Pleasantburg, East North and Wade Hampton so you can get here within minutes of JUST about anywhere in Greenville/Greer/Taylors PRICE: Fair enough for the portion sizes UPDATE> went for dinner June 2025 Three chicken taco meal Did NOT disappoint I had to take one home for lunch the next day

5/05/23 Celebrated Cinco De Mayo! These folks really made it a fun night for all. We had excellent service by Sara. Everything was delicious from the chips & fresh guacamole to the shrimp cocktails with fresh avocado to our entrees. The restaurant was festive with music, laughter and fun for all ages. Loved the gift of tee shirts to commemorate the night. Thanks to all the wonderful staff. Tef 5/05/19 Love the shrimp cocktail with avocado. Tef

This place is cool enough man. The food is at a very reasonable price and the portions are nice. They keep the place clean and service is prompt. The normal salsa they give is pretty bad. Like it's kind of sweet tomato adjacent bad. Ask for the spicy salsa, it's a mix of orange and green. It's some good stuff man. Still like negligible heat, like 1/12th if a jalapeno, but that's better than nothing. The chips themselves were crispy but not too interesting flavor-wise on their own. Or with the regular salsa. Their fajita quesadilla is pretty stuffed and that cook it just right. Slather some of that spicy salsa on that jawn and you going crazy. The rice and beans have noticable onions in them, if that's not your jive, then stay away. I will say, it kind of put me off that the TVs were there but they weren't on anything. The was honestly more distracting than if they are on with something playing.

College graduation dinner on Friday night included 11 people. We came here because the chain restaurants had 2-hour waits. The waiter was awesome. He didn't write down any of our orders, but everyone got their food correctly. He then divided up our tickets by memory. Even though it was a large group, the gratuity was not automatically included like most restaurants do "for groups over 6 people." The food was great! If I'm ever back in the area I will definitely be here.
