    Awesome chips and salsa! Salsa made my lips tingle and it is delicious! Had chicken fajitas and they were great! Sizzling and onions were actually caramelized! Service was fast and friendly!

    Really generous portions and tasty cocktails. I can recommend the Spider-man Margarita, full of color and fun :) And our waiter was awesome, not sure why others didn't like this place...

    This restaurant has outdoor seating right on the Riverwalk. Try the Happy Hour Margarita and Happy Hour appetizer sampler. Fun place! Beware of the aggressive pigeons!

    I had a great experience. The service was fast and friendly. My server Corey made some great suggestions. I had the shrimp Tijuana and a top shelf margarita.

    Our waiter Joey was wonderful! Very Intuitive. The salsa was okay not the greatest but still just fine. They have solid margaritas. The food was great too.

    I liked the Loyola Tacos. I could have used a bit more garnish with them, but they were still good and the price was reasonable for the strip.

    The salsa is warm… From a spice AND temperature perspective. An odd but pleasant combination for a chilly evening while seated outside.

    Feel bad for the bad review. I find the staff friendly and the food is good. The salsa is tangy with a bit of bite. Not your out of a jar from the supermarket salsa at all.

    Carne Guisada is delish- flavorful without being too spicy (I don't like spicy at all).

    Great place to sit outside, have a few drinks and people watch. Service was good...but it wasn't very busy. Typical food for tourists...not fantastic, but tasted good.

    Came here after the Spurs river parade because we were starving. Unfortunately it's not a real Mexican food place but rather Tex-Mex. Everyone at my table felt the food was mediocre at best.

    Don't order the fajitas, they only give you two tortillas for a half pound of meat. You have to pay for more.

    Order the "carne guisada" with hand made corn tortillas and savor it; you won't find it as well made anywhere else. Great prices, happy hour and very nice staff.
