  Best Mexican I've had in Billings. Crazy friendly staff and the portions are very large (and that is large + good quality ingredients and delicious outcomes). The low reviews are laughable (e.g. couldn't just show up and get a table, they wouldn't put on volleyball on the TV). Must hit dishes are guac, churros (dessert), and frankly the double skinny Marg may be the best on the menu. Oh, one more thing, they have an excellent habenero hot sauce for $2 (basically 0 margin). Come enjoy and make sure these guys stick around!!!!

  Mixed experience here. The margarita flights were great and definitely the highlight. Steak tacos were good, and the beans and rice were just okay. The green chicken enchiladas were decent, but the red enchilada sauce tasted more like marinara and was disappointing. I’d come back for the drinks, but the food was hit or miss.

  nothing beats a mid afternoon margarita 🥭🍊🍋‍🟩🍋🍓🥝🍍 TO DRINK: - ★★★ margarita flight which includes a strawberry, mango, house and reposado margarita TO ORDER: - ★★★ quesabirria tacos - ★ guacamole - ★★ churros the margarita flight was absolutely fantastic with my favourites being either the frozen mango marg or the house margarita. the quesabirrias blew me away, they were the perfect balance of meat, cheese and goodness and didn't feel too heavy which i loved! absolutely will be back again for seconds 😋

  Been here twice for date night, and really enjoyed both visits! Me and my boyfriend moved up here from Texas a year ago and LOVE Mexican food, and the food here is great! Even if there is a “wait” to be seated, both times we are seated no more than 10 minutes later. Staff is very quick, and service is great! Snapped this picture on our way out after the storms and thought I’d share :)

  I don't even know where to start.I couldn't order a patron margarita without having to order a house margarita and add patron. Their food tasted okay but the size for what you paid for disgusting. Also beware when you check your receipt. If you're paying in cash, make sure that there isn't a merchant's fee on the receipt. And if you don't get cash back and just give them an amount that includes the tip. Then, you are charged The merchant's fee so make well aware of that. It is against the law to charge a merchant's fee. If you don't use mastercard or visa or american express.And these guys got away with it. The manager told me it was basically my fault that we were charged The merchant's fee because I didn't ask for change. I included the tip in the amount that I handed the guy. It definitely isn't what it's cracked up to be
