    My family loves the food here. Portions are large & we always have leftovers. One of these days, I'm going to have dessert first as I'm always stuffed by the end of the meal. Service is good all the time, and once in a while, it's great.

    This is one of my family's favorite places to eat. The food is always amazing, and the service is very friendly. We have come to this location for over a year now, and I do not think we have ever got anything less than 5 star quality. If you want the ultimate treat, get Sophia's Molcajete. It's a family favorite...

    Hospitality was great from the time I walked in to when I left. Cleanliness is a priority for this restaurant and you can tell with how it looks and feels. Love the way that they take care of each customer as a team and not wait till your assigned server returns. Food was hot and fresh and taste was amazing.

    We went there for lunch Sunday afternoon. They do have a good selection of menus. Food was awesome, the service was good and the atmosphere was nice. The owner Lorena came to our table and talked to us. That was nice

    True rating 5/10 Simple and clean Tex-Mex. Great free appetizers with the chip dipping options that are great. Ordered Steak and Shrimp also Shrimp of Ajo. Shrimp was excellent but the steak ordered rare didn't seem up to par. Service was fast for both my orders. Restaurant also participating in the T-Mobile dining advantage. They also have Coca Cola Zero.

    Lovely Little Elm gem! We stopped in for a quick lunch after just driving by the area. Very nice yet casual interior setup, our server was friendly and helpful in recommending the specialty items. We ordered a chicken fajita taco salad and chicken fajita quesadilla, both were packed with flavor and ample portion sizes. The chips and dip/salsas were delish as well. Frozen Margaritas were just right, just enough punch and blended just right. Oh and there is a happy hour offered. Win win! We are already scoping out the menu for our next visit.
