“ Food is good and service is always awesome, Great group of people here ”
“ The food always tastes great and the people are so friendly. Always a good choice ”
“ This place is kinda weird. It's the first Mexican restaurant I've been to with a lion king mural....which oddly adds to the atmosphere. The food is spectacular. And for the amount of food you get, the cost is decent. All good people there, and never waited over ten minutes for my food. ”
“ Food was delicious. Staff was a great experience also. I would recommend anyone go here if u want a good meal at a fair price. U won't leave hungry ”
“ Very good Mexican food with great service. We had the Shrimp Fajitas and the Speddy Gonzalez. Food came out very quickly and was delish! ”
“ This is our 2nd time eating at this restaurant. Both times food and service has been excellent at good pricing with a great menu to choose from. Of course the chips and salsa came very quick after sitting down. Beer is cold and meals (Shrimp Burrito and Burrito Bluebank) plates were fresh and hot and delicious. We enjoyed talking to the manager. The flowers out front of the parking are part of the tradition with all the yards in Mexico displaying many of them especially the orange marigolds. Quite festive and bright even in October. Our personal goal is to enjoy locally owned restaurants instead of 'large corporate chains' when we eat out. This will be at the top of the list to get a great meal. They also do a great take out business. Mid afternoon, weekday was quiet but most times parking is pretty full when we drive up to Flemingsburg. Glad to see their business is good. ”
“ In Flemingsurg for a softball tournament and decided to stop in during a game break. Service was a little slow, but probably due to the large crowd that the tournament produced. Traditional choices and specials, with all the flavor to match make up for this. Definitely a solid go to and easy to find if you're in the area ”
“ This was an excellent first-time experience. The restaurant was clean, and my special order was accommodated and executed to perfection. The pork was served fork tender and delicious. I will certainly seek seconds when visiting the area again. ”
