"Loved dining here! The environment that the waiters created was kind and lovely. The food tasted so good. I got the ACP and it was an easy super good. It came with some nice and soft tortillas which sometimes some restaurants give out as hard and dry. 10/10 totally recommend before or after shopping at the food lion next to it."

"This place is amazing, I'm so happy we finally have a Mexican restaurant in Chocowinity. The food and atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The owner himself served us and he was truly one of the kindest people I've ever met. He was incredibly respectful and patient. Will definitely be coming back here. Highly recommend to anyone who lives in Chocowinity and doesn't want to go all the way to Washington to get some high quality Mexican food."

"1st time visit, just passing thru. Great greetings and customer service. We ordered the Xheese dip, Margarita special, Chori Chicken, and the Enchiladas Emoladas, lunch size. The corn tortillas are homemade like my abuelita makes. The salsa is not too spicy and the chips were hot. Just enough to fill you up. Definitely would stop by again. They have a sister restaurant called El Tequila in Jacksonville, that is awesome! We eat there often."
