My first trip to Ocean City Maryland and I traveled with my miniature poodle. I wanted a place i could have her at and this place had outside seats. I am a bit fussy so I wasn't sure if I would like it. My server Jayden was amazing!!! She was very patient and helped me figure out the perfect dish, which we did. I'm here till Saturday and will probably go back. Remember to travel Jayden and go camp at Aseteauge lol.

Let me tell You!I This place was amazing!! From service and food. It won’t disappoint you. The food was so delicious! I would recommend this place if you want Mexican food. I’ll Definitely come back here again. My son husband enjoyed our time here! Thank you!

Our table ordered the Grande Guacamole which was made table side... it was delicious! Lefty’s Lust which my daughter had to take out the black beans bc she doesn’t like them and I’m not sure but she said that they were not listed on the menu or she wouldn’t have gotten that dish. Beef Enchiladas which were good (my other daughter said). I got the Taco Salad with the mushrooms and it was delicious! We came in the evening during a rain storm! It was crowded but we only waited 30 mins. The atmosphere was good temperature and music wasn’t too loud. I didn’t like that the tall table we sat at had a metal top that made a popping sound when we leaned on it. But overall we had a nice experience. I thought our server had a tiny bit of attitude when we were first seated but it may have been me being over sensitive to her disposition. I’m whole food plant based and was able to order the Taco Salad with mushrooms and held the cheese. It was a bit spicy and I didn’t see any spicy items listed on the menu but I can handle a tiny bit of spicy, this was just the right amount.

Stopped here with my husband and our friends for dinner on a Friday night. We were seated right away. The table surface was a little uneven which was weird, but the food was good. I had the Lefty's Lust and my husband had the Pistol Pete's. Our friends had the beef enchiladas and chicken enchiladas. The margaritas were excellent. Happy hour was buy one, get one half price. Our waitress didn't make much of an appearance, but luckily we didn't need much.

Great place to take your family for Mexican food in OC. We had a group of 8, Brian our server was great and on top of everything! Food was very tasty - guacamole to start is highly recommended. Place will not disappoint!

Amazing!!!! Such a small little place but you must stop by. The food is amazing. Prices aren’t that bad as well. Service was fast and friendly. Staff helping each other out. Got a bit busy and then there was a small wait to get in but.... I had the Three Amigos Steak Chalupa, Chicken Queso Crunch Taco and a Mini Beef Chimichanga served with Fiesta Rice 23 well worth it.... A

I tried this restaurant twice during my week long stay. First night, large delicious bowl of queso & warm tortilla chips & a hot fresh salsa. My main course was a steak quesadilla. Everything had great flavor & while not authentic, it is very good. My second visit I started with the chipotle honey wings. They’re so fresh and hot I had a hard time eating them. Some of the meatiest wings I’ve ever had. My main course was the chicken chimichanga - so so good! On my last visit my server was slammed with a few large, needy & stupid parties. Hear me out, this one table asked her get new chips as they were way too warm. Did they have salsa that wasn’t hot? Then almost the entire party wanted their meal specialized. Maybe not go to a Mexican restaurant? Another party sits next to me and the woman asks if she can replace something with cheese, specifically mozzarella cheese. In a Mexican restaurant?!

10/10. They were great - they closed at 9pm and we were headed to de lazy lizard but we took a wrong turn and it was 20 mins to get back across that bridge so we decided to run into this restaurant to wait it out. We arrived at 8:47. I know we suck. The host had a warm welcome. The waitress came let us know we needed to order before 9 which we figured and she was so kind about it. I had the chicken soup and nachos 10/10 al good best nachos I’ve had. My husband had the burrito 9/10 I give it a 9 due to the rice not tasting authentic. Great portions. The drinks were good as well from the bar. We had everything we needed. Would come back when we are in town. Great job.
