★★★★★ 5.0 Jose De Leon · Mar 2026

So happy I chose here instead of across the street. Food was flavorful, perfect view, fun light vibe! Perfect Sunday birthday lunch and Carly was the cherry on top, ask for her! She went above and beyond to make sure the food and drinks were to my liking. Next trip up from FL will be stopping here for sure. *Had the shrimp quesadillas and veggie bowl*

★★★☆☆ 3.0 James Casey · Jul 2025

Only two others in the restraunt besides us. Got seated at 2:27 pm, asked for the lunch special which goes to 2:30. Server took our drink order first, came back and said now at 2:33 we could not get the lunch special, okay. He didnt understand my wife asking for moscato wine and brought back mescal tequila asked the other server and she explained it to him in Spanish Made our food order and asked to bring back water as well. Received our food, my wife's order with 3 items, 2 of them the wrong item and no chicken as she asked for, still no water. Finally I said aqua, and he brought over 1 glass. She ate what they brought an said it was just okay, but the wine was good. My texas burrito was loaded with chicken, steak, and shrimp and veggies. One of the best burritos I've ever had. My

I typically enjoy my experience here but not today. My family and I went to dinner and during our visit the server was basically non existent I understand everyone makes mistakes but to avoid us almost the entire time is ridiculous especially when we were being very understanding we waited 10-15 minutes for more chips to go with our big bowl of cheese dip and for the big bowl of salsa that we ordered my sons water was never refilled and we had to pretty much eat without any drinks the server then messes up our order and brought hard shell tocos instead of soft shells and lettuce on them when we requested non when one of the other waitresses came over with chips I said thank you and she straight up ignored me with straight face when they “fixed” the tocos all they did was transfer the stuf

★★★★★ 5.0 Jason McClain · May 2025

What sets this place apart is the lake view, hopping atmosphere and extensive Tex-Mex menu. If they don’t have something tasty you like, then you probably blew off your tastebuds in some sort of tragic industrial accident.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Phil Stevens · Sep 2025

Great fajitas and a nice view of the lack in a relaxed environment. The chips and salsa were fine. Good value.
