Feb 07, 2026"Mexican done right! First gotta shout out to the chip and salsa bar. Self serve never ending warm chips and various yummy salsas. I love the chicken quesadilla grande! It's huge and filled with meat veggies and cheese. I always bring half home for later. New fav is the grande burrito with chicken and California veggies! Great food, good service and easy on the wallet make this a local fav for me."

Jan 17, 2026"My husband and I are working out of state from Florida, after a hard week this restaurant was a boost!! By far one of the best we’ve found!! The chips and salsa bar is awesome!! All of the ingredients were so fresh. We ordered chicken enchiladas verdes and the steak quesadilla grande for dinner. WOW!! Biggest steak quesadilla I’ve ever had, and the price can’t be beat. To think we almost visited that giant Mexican restaurant down the street. I’m so glad we chose this quaint spot instead. 10/10 recommended"

Jan 16, 2026"Had an appointment in Statesboro which finished just about lunch time, so we decided to stop in for lunch and we certainly were not disappointed. The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the portions were quite generous. The prices were a tad less than we pay at our normal "go-to" Mexican place, too. We decided it's going to be our regular stop when we're in Statesboro!"
