    The food has really gone down him from even On The Border first came to Corpus. I haven't been to the establishment in quite some time and recently was invited to a birthday gathering here. The enchiladas tasted at of they were made with canned chili. The refried beans tasted at of they were from a can and the fajitas were the only thing close to authenticity. The drinks and service were good and our server was great. He tended to everyone with such courtesy and positive patience, it was contagious. Note to self. Maybe just for drinks on the next visit.

    Me and my family decided to go to this restaurant on our way to Port Aransas! And it was the best decision we ever made! The Fajitas and tacos were amazing, and our server Alyssa was so kind! We definitely recommend coming to this restaurant!
