There's decent Mexican food everywhere, but this was exceptional. Food was fresh and delicious and the drinks were strong!

This should be the #1 Mexican restaurant in Springfield! We stopped by on a whim. The food is excellent! I would say it's definitely well above what you expect from a restaurant with these prices. I had the shrimp/scallop plate and it was cooked to perfection! The shrimp queso my sister had was "the best I've ever had", according to her. The jumbo 40 ounce margarita is only 10.99 and there is no short of flavor or tequila! The staff was amazing and the decor is perfect! We will definitely be making this a regular stop.

First time here and it was pretty good. Staff was super friendly and had good humor. While the prices were fair, the food was plenty. Hoping to come here when I'm not pregnant to check out the cool bar scene

Best Mexican in Springfield hands down, not up for debate. The restaurant itself has super cool decor, food is top notch, and lots of interesting drinks to choose from.

For a small quaint restaurant, the service was great. Not much of a lunch rush but great food. We were seated fairly quickly and had food pretty fast. Great place to go!
