"This place is a great spot for Mexican food. Server was great. Food was good and the $5 margaritas were great. We even got free shots with other customers at the bar. Friendly place. Definitely give them a try!"

- Lor V.

"Currently on a taco tour this will be #37 Chips and salsa: The chips were big yellow corn chips and good for dipping. There was no salt on the chips. The salsa was really good, pureed and a hint of heat - 4 Lime Margartia on the Rocks: It was a really good margarita. It tasted like the margarita mix from Costco, which isn't a bad thing at all - 4 Steak Taco: Flavor: 5 Fullness: 5 Appearance: 5 The steak was chopped up in to nice size pieces and had a nice char on it as well as seasoned really good. The meat did not have any gristly pieces. They use red onions, which is a win for us. The tortillas were nicely fried on the flat top. Chicken Taco: Flavor: 3 Fullness: 5 Appearance: 5 The chicken was made with peppers but it didn't taste like, but had good flavor. The chicken was moist. The cheese had a very over powering and distinct flavor which took over the taco unfortunately. Service: Everything came out as ordered and was fast - 5 Give us a follow on Instagram @gbdiningdykes"
