  •   What a great find! We happened to be eating next door and saw many Hispanics going here. We saw all the great reviews and today discovered why. We had a... read more taco salad and a chicken fajita burrito and both were outstanding. The pico de gallo is freshly made. We will certainly be back to try many other dishes

      We were in town to play golf but not eating indoors. We ordered two burritos and queso. It was a ton of food. The queso was great. The pick-up was... read more easy and fast. It was also easy to order via the phone. The burritos could be two meals. When back in the area would stop again. It is a corner of a shopping center and that was the only hiccup was finding it.

      I don’t often give 5-star reviews, but somehow feel this place deserves this rating — perhaps mostly because of its authenticity.

    From the music to the counter staff ...... read more from the shy, beautiful women cooking out the back to the actual food itself ... and from the gentle simplicity of the cantina to the line-up of beer-drinking locals at the bar ... one could almost mistake oneself for actually being in Mexico.

    Once we ordered our meals from the front counter (which was a tough thing to do ... if only because the menu is so extensive and it was hard to decide what to eat!) and took our seat at a table, our drinks and then meals were quickly served. And oh my, those meals!

    Super fresh and absolutely GINORMOUS. None of us could finish what we’d ordered (probably shouldn’t have ordered the chips and salsa as a starter...) and took about 2/3 of it home as leftovers.

    My taco salad with chicken was one of the best Mexican salads I’ve ever had, though my husband wishes he’d ordered something other than the chicken fajita burrito — he loves burritos but not so much fajitas, so will try something else when we go back.

    Loved the cozy atmosphere and the decor — one could sit and idle away hours here, just sipping beer and staring at the walls!

    Will definitely return when we’re back here in the summer.

      This small restaurant is really, really good. The burritos are Nerf football sized and the ingredients are very fresh. We had house margaritas that were some of the best we’ve... read more ever had. Food on other tables looked good, especially the taco salad. Many people came in for take out. We could only manage half of our burrito so lunch is made for tomorrow! Julie was our server and she was awesome. Everyone there was friendly and working their behinds off!

Needless to say (but I will anyway!) we will be regulars whenever we are visiting Hilton Head. Ask for Carolyn, owner and hostess. She is terrific.
