    This place is top notch!! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant! Food comes out quick and taste delicious! Always provides to their customers with the best customer service! Everyone is so nice and I am so glad it is here in Kinston! Portions are big and well fitted for the price. I will be bringing my entire family here to try it when they come visit! I’m sad that I just found it since we move out of NC at the end of the year but I will be referring everyone here until the day I leave! Best Mexican restaurant hands down! I will definitely be coming here very often!

    Had a first date here, and when I tell you this place was an extension of the expectation i was trying to set and the impression I was trying to make. The menu has great selections and the prices are very pocket friendly. The service was amazing as well. So polite, so kind and gracious. And we didn't have to wait long for our food. Maybe 15 minutes after ordering. The portion of food that they give you is well worth the price. They serve big plates. We both thought the food was no less than amazing. As for the drinks, my tall modelo was ice cold and my date said she enjoyed the flavor and the fact that it was well blended. This was a great experience. Thank you very much!!!!

    We had an a party of 24 people on Father’s Day. They said they did not take reservations but said if we came in with that number, it would not be a problem. The service was amazing and they were very accommodating. We were happy to be split up but they said they could get tables together if we didn’t mind waiting for the space, which was not a problem. They made sure our drinks were full, chips refilled, and everyone’s food orders were correct the first time. The food was so good, the black beans were some of the best we’ve ever had, and the prices were extremely reasonable. The staff could not have been more kind, providing awesome service. We will definitely be back.

    Great Service! My first visit and I thought it was going to be an average experience with average food. But as soon as we entered we were greeted by multiple people. That set the atmosphere for me. I really felt like they appreciated my business and the staff was genuinely friendly. The food was great too! Never thought I would get that in Kinston, lol. I am definitely going again.

    We kept hearing about a new Mexican restaurant downtown Kinston. We had to go check it out. The restaurant itself is very well decorated and clean upon arrival. The gentleman who waited on us was excellent. He was so nice. The salsa that comes with the chips, let me tell you. It was the best I've had I believe. So fresh. We went for a late lunch, but they also offered dinner portions at the time. We just got lunch. The portions they give you are well worth what you pay for. That's a major plus. And the food itself was so good. It was so flavorful. . . And the prices are not outrageous. They just gained a few more regular customers because we will definitely be coming back. The other Mexican Restaurants in town really better step their game up because I found a new spot. If you haven't tried this place out you definitely should. No disappointment! Glad to see a new restaurant in town.

    Literally THE BEST Mexican restaurant and food EVER! The service was excellent and servers attentive but not overbearing. The portions were huge so I had lunch the next day as well. The quality of the food was absolutely outstanding, yet came out very quickly. The only bad thing is that I live in NJ so I can't have it often!
