“ Who doesn’t love a great Mexican restaurant! I always try something new. Every item is delicious and worth trying. The chips and salsa are my favorite. The Service above and beyond and well the view is the only pictures I take. These videos are from separate visits! I love to frequent for obvious reasons. ”
“ Free chips and salsa, as is standard with many Mexican restaurants. Cowboy Brisket Bowl was good and hearty. Cheese quesadilla was typical, but good. Food came out super fast. Service was very good. Inside seating was a bit noisy. Outside seating is available, though near the road. It appeared that there was to be entertainment setting up when we left. All in all we would go back on a future visit. We did not order any drinks. I couldn't tell wether or not if they have any NA beers. We could have inquired but didn't need any on this visit. ”
“ Absolutely Amazing Experience! I absolutely love this place! The ambiance is perfect, sitting outside with a view of the ocean, watching people ride by on bicycles, walking with their beach gear, laughing and chatting. You can choose to sit under a shady umbrella or bask in the sun. The food is always fresh and delicious, no matter if I’m enjoying breakfast or dinner. It never takes long to arrive, and the quality is consistently top-notch. The service is fantastic: I’ve never had to wait, and the staff make you feel like family. It’s so refreshing to visit a place where guests are treated like friends. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ Great breakfast with a Gulfview. It is one of the best places for breakfast on AMI. The bloody mary uses a nice mix that compliments the Mexican dishes. Their margaritas are just alcohol and lime juice, nothing artificial. Lunch and dinners are also great. Just a great restaurant! ”
“ Went for a date. I pass this place all the time. This is not just a bar - great food! And nearly beachfront with the view! Love music we sat outdoors. Doubled the grouper tacos. And quesso is sooooo good! And you can judge a place by the chips and salsa. Everything finished ! ”
