Customer Reviews

"Serving a sampling of their ceviche, along with chips and salsa, when you are seated is a nice touch. Some Mexican restaurants can be so heavy with cheese and salt drowning out everything. Not here! The flavors were clean, fresh with depth in seasoning and citrus notes. Someone had a birthday and what a contagious fiesta that was! Fun, festive, lively vibe. We will be back."

"This was my second visit. I was attending my friend's birthday celebration. We had a such amazing time. My meal was delicious. I have three Hispanic friends from three different regions. They each were able to share something different and exciting that they weren't aware of about each other. Having Hispanic friends is teaching me about the cultural differences in Hispanic cuisine and celebrations. I love learning from them and about them. If only I can get the language quicker... I must say their birthday song and celebration was so exciting and vibrant. I want to come back every week just to experience that! Every week I'll have a birthday!!!"

"On the outside it doesn't look like much, and when you walk in, it can seem very small, but the staff was very friendly from start to finish! We came with a larger crowd and that can be overwhelming, but they handled it with ease! I was very impressed. Being that we had a large group it took a little longer for our fiod, but of course as a baseball team we expected that. Music was fun, the birthday celebrations are the most amazing restaurant birthday ever! Lights flash, music plays, lights up masks! It was a show to watch. We will absolutely be coming to this restaurant whenever we come to Dothan!"
