Customer Reviews

"I love it here! It sends good vibes and brings happiness. The food is better than any $2000 dollar taco. Definitely worth it!"

- Anna R.

"It the only restaurant coming from Kaaterskill falls hiking. We were seated quick as we entered the restaurant. We ordered large Chips and salsa for $5. Usually they offered free in other Mexican restaurants. The chip portions was small too for the price. Sorry guys, Horchata is not available. Not that kind of authentic Mexican spot. Average entree was $15. Over priced for the portion sizes. The food flavor is average savory. Nothing exceptional that would stand out. Maybe will come again. Or not. I will look for somewhere else for food next time."

"My husband and I went for a little date night. We sat at the bar - enjoyed drinks and appetizers. The sangrita was delicious. The guacamole was very fresh and delicious. Shrimp cooked perfectly. Wings had a wonderful crisp. My husband would have liked them a little spicier but still enjoyed them very much. He said the sauce was delicious and tangy. The woman who served us was so nice! We will go back."
