I can’t remember if the server said her name was Christine or Christina but wow, the service was amazing and literally everything here was great! You guys exceeded our expectations in every way possible so thank you so much! We will definitely be back here again soon.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 9/10 We were invited by the mgmt to dine in and experience what looked to be a refreshed take on the restaurant — and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive, and the food? Absolutely outstanding. Flavorful, well-presented, and the portion sizes were way beyond what we expected. It’s clear the team is putting in serious effort to make a strong impression. If I had one small piece of feedback, it would be to consider adding a few more servers or lightening the table load a bit — our server did an amazing job, but was definitely stretched thin. Overall, a fantastic experience and a spot we’ll gladly return to. Hats off to the mgmt team for taking charge and setting the tone right.
The restaurant looks nice aesthetically, but service is to be desired. Our waiter couldn’t say what the house margarita meant to my elderly father. We all ordered margaritas and he got his (house isn’t very lime-y more sweet). We ordered a flight and it took 20 minutes to receive. The restaurant had all of maybe 4-5 tables, so they weren’t busy. These were not very good ritas. We came here because of reviews but left immediately after our drinks. The food is ridiculously priced. Who pays $30 for tacos? Check out other places as this one has a lot of work to do.
We went for dinner at this restaurant on Friday night. It was amazing. There were mariachis playing. It was a family atmosphere. The food was fantastic. The margaritas were on point. In short when we return to Corpus Christi, we will definitely be back ! Clean, organized, and well done. I just wanted to say, even though it was a family atmosphere. It could certainly also be a date night, depending on where you sat. And I’m sure the wait staff could figure that out for you. They all were clearly well trained, and loved their jobs.
Overall decent restaurant. Beautiful decor centralized at the mall. Plenty of parking. If you had Taco Palenque then the flavors will be familiar. They do offer menu items that they do not offer at taco restaurant. With that being said, it's double the price. I honestly do like the food. The service was excellent. The chips salsa and beans were excellent. But for the price, I'd rather stick to the taco restaurant. You're paying double for the same flavors. More upscale, because of the adult drinks and the environment but for the food itself, I would stick to the taco restaurant. Plenty of parking, nice variety of food on the menu.

Authentic Mexican flavors in a vibrant, upscale setting—where every meal feels like a celebration.
