This is a take out review: The most difficult thing moving out of LA to the east coast is the food... Especially Mexican food! To heal our cravings we went to this place close by to try it out. We do already have a few spots for authentic Mexican food on our list, but we have yet to try Tex-Mex. We ordered online about 30 mins before arrival. The site estimated it will be ready in 15-25 mins, but soon got a message to say food will be ready in 30 mins instead. We got there and the staff ask for my name and went to find my order. It was not a bad wait about 10 mins, and I can see it was quite busy inside about 2/3 tables filled, also a lot of take out orders prepared to be picked up as well. Once they found my order, the staff helped me take it to my car (it wasn't that much, just 2 bags and a drink, but he offered help quickly), very nice! I am not sure about the service with this short amount of interaction, but for this short interaction with their assistance, I'd say their service is pretty good. Food! We ordered beef and chicken chimichangas, salsa and chips, and a horchata. Since it's our first time trying Tex-Mex, we want to try something we usually get from the places we liked. Wow! I am impressed! It's not the best of the best, but it's very decent! Tender meats, not overcooked flavored rice, decent quality gua, salsa and chips, and really strong cinnamon horchata! Overall in good quality and good portion. Only small downsides: One of the chimichangas were grilled a bit too long and it does have a burnt flavor to it, not heavy, but it's there. Horchata is very strong cinnamon, not bad if you have textured drinks, but it's a bit too much if you are looking for a refreshing drink. It could be the take out that makes it difficult to not become watery, but the sour cream became pretty watery once we got home, and the chimichangas also gets quite wet once you are half way eating it. I understand it's for flavors and just naturally caused by not eating right away, but to assume people get take out and bring home, I wish they figured a solution to prevent it for take out orders...like pack cold sauce separately with warm food. We loved it! It's a solid dinner for us, and the flavors and portion is decent for the price. We know they are famous for Fajita so we have to go back and dine in for that to be sure if this is a new go to for Mexican food. I'd recommend if you want to enjoy a good Tex-Mex meal with family and friends. Good parking, good seating and distance, and good food with a decent price!

We were visiting The Villages and stopped to have lunch here. My wife and I both found the food and service to be excellent. The decor was appropriate, and we both enjoyed our lunch. I have a more complete review here already.

My daughter and I went there on a Thursday night when many families had gone there to celebrate graduations. It was crowded. It worked out for us because we wanted to sit outside. We were greeted and taken to a table on the patio. Our waiter, Jonathon, was very friendly. The Margarita's were quite good. I could the singer inside, maybe a mariachi-type singer and quite good. Our food didn't take too long, it was excellent. The waiter checked on us and brought more water. Overall I would give this place 5 stars. Also prices were reasonable.
