We got fajitas for two it was excellent quality hot and very good taste !! Hot sauce was spicy and very good !! Thank you guys !!

Mexican food is the same yet different in every restaurant you try. My friend explained it like this, every family cooks their rice differently. I was very pleased with this families versions. Excellent quality ingredients and someone cooking that tastes and likes eating the food they make. Would be a regular if I lived here.

I’ve been here three or four times and every time is delicious!

My favorite restaurant in Ponca City. Great food and prices. Chips and salsa are fantastic. Had steak chimichanga. So good!

So good! Queso was fantastic. Chips and salsa for the table was awesome. Great horchata. Sizable portions for a good value! Super friendly staff, too.

I don’t know where to start!! This was delicious. The service was amazing. Super fast. We had the chips and salsa of course. We ordered the Molcajete bowl, special guacamole, cheese sauce, and two regular tacos. It was all amazing. The cheese sauce was very creamy. The special guacamole is very fresh. The bowl had great flavor. When we saw the pricing we weren’t sure how the portions would be. They were huge!! I can’t believe how much our bill was. Great food, great service, and affordable! We will definitely be back!!!

The food was good, great chips and salsa, and the drinks were pretty decent as well. This was our final dinner in town, and it was worth it.

Overall, a solid Mexican restaurant with good prices. The service was great, the food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Not by any means the greatest Mexican food I’ve ever had, but the portions were good, the price was right, and overall it was worth a stop.
