Hidden gem in Spring! Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Easily trumps Alicia's and a really strong contender with Mama Juanita's. Great drinks, great food for the price, and exceptional service. Very unassuming ambiance but don't let first impressions fool you. Very rare to find a place here that serves fried whole tilapia but boy do they fry and season it soooo good! Glad I don't have to drive all the way to Mambo's for this now. Just two things.. Please don't serve this awesome fried tilapia with fries,just Spanish rice and Pico would be awesome. Also the flan was really good, if it's made with little to no egg whites then this flan would be fantastic!

We ordered the Parillada Celaya...it was sooo good. The shrimp wrapped in bacon w jalapeno was off the chart. I also had the flight of Margaritas (left-right) strawberry, mango,blue caracao and peach (durazno), I had never had such great barista. I recommend Divian, she did an awesome job preparing the Margaritas . Jose the Manager, was super great. He substituted the quail for more shrimp. I'm telling you, they were really good! I am very pleased with the food & service. If ordering drinks, ask for Divian!

Awesome place!! The service was SUPER. As soon as we sat down we got some chips and salsa, and were offered drinks. There was not just one person taking care of our table, almost every waiter was offering to refill our drinks and chips. The place is not big or crowded, which in my personal opinion ITS AMAZING! It actually feels like a home. Food was delicious! **UPDATE** We invited my parents-in-law this time and they LOVED IT TOO! They felt like home, found food delicious as well and the service, OUTSTANDING! The waiter even offered a bag and cup to-go for us to take our chips and salsa for later in the night. Totally recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some home style Mexican food .

One of my favorite local Tex Mex Restaurants. Delicious Salsa. Great Meals. Amazing Margaritas. Friendly Staff. Not to mention complimentary queso at lunch time.

My go to Mexican restaurant in the Spring area. Can always count of the food to be consistently good and have exceptional margaritas. The fajita beef is flavorful and the enchilada sauce is second to none.

In from Galveston, TX to visit our dear cousins. Went on Sunday @ 11:30AM and no one was there. We don't know why because the food and drinks were very good. Service very good as well and don't forget to get the salsa verde.
