    The cups of salsa they give you are so small, but it is pretty good. Ordered a chimichanga but the queso they put on, made it soggy and soft. It was loud inside, but I think that was expected for this type of casual establishment. The table we had was in pretty poor shape and it just seemed a bit dirty inside the restaurant overall. The service was just okay, neither good nor bad.

    Our server was nice. Food was mediocre. Disappointed food did not come out hot. Guacamole made fresh at your table but was tasteless. Not the authentic Mexican food I was looking for like the reviews mentioned

    Excellent service, we were celebrating a birthday and the waiter and support staff were very attentive. Food was amazing! Loved the mole chicken enchiladas the queso fundido and the chips and salsa. Will definitely return. Oh and the margs were awesome too, we tried the guava, passion fruit and strawberry.

    The food was authentic and delicious. We picked the restaurant because it was the closest Mexican restaurant to where we were visiting, but it turned out to be a great choice and we would definitely return when we visit Clermont again.

    1. Restaurant was virtually empty yet service was slow. 2. Food was terrible—tasteless. We had three carnitas platters, mahi fish tacos, chiles rellenos and shrimp diablo. None of it was outstanding or even good. 3. The one outstanding dish was the guacamole; we asked for two; got one and the bill had charged us for two. 4. We asked for salsa verde; were charged for it and the sauce was insipid and dull. This is the first time that we have been charged for an item that is a staple in Mexican cuisine and restaurants 5. We were charged an 18% service charge. We were 6 adults and two toddlers and were never when making the reservation told this would happen. 6. Service was mediocre—non professional. 7. The cost given the quality of the food and service was exorbitant! WILL NOT RETURN—ever!

    Table-side guacamole is the must! Everything that we have eaten here over the past 5 visits has been very good. We especially love the Chile Releno. Great cocktails and attentive service. Probably our favorite Mexican restaurant in Clermont or Winter Garden.

    The food quality was really good, and the service was excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we all enjoyed our meals and will be returning soon! It gets pretty loud when busy inside, but outdoor seating is available and will be perfect in cooler and drier weather.

    Can't believe we didn't know about this place before and we have lived here forever! Service was excellent, probably the best we have had in a very long time. Food tasted authentic and fresh. Drinks out of this world. Tons of choices for a margarita.

    Booked for back patio, tried calling restaurant to request particular table only to discover that, it's only Spanish, only voicemail, and disconnect at end of message .. Lo Siento -- arrived and patio was closed (no apology and no reason provided) .. if we hadn't been there many times, we'd have left .. not the experience we'd hoped for out of town guests to enjoy you for the first time -- so we sat on front patio: noise from 2 streets, next door establishment and kids shouting across the road -- not the Friday night we usually enjoy with you! ☹️

    Large variety of margaritas to choose from, fresh guacamole (delicious) made right at your table and an extensive menu to choose from. I had the chimichurri steak with rice and black beans and it was FANTASTIC! For dessert I had the churros with cinnamon and chocolate sauce, also FANTASTIC! Moderately priced in lovely downtown Clermont. Highly recommend!

    This was our second visit and it was just as good as our first, maybe even better. We were seated quickly, chips and salsa were on the table within a minute or two of sitting down. Server was knowledgeable and attentive. Table side guacamole was delicious. We ordered drinks from the bar and the strawberry jalapeño margarita was fantastic.. had two! Ordered Fajita Fundida and it was flavorful and full of all the extra sides you can think of to add to your fajita. Ambiance is casual, but a great positive vibe. Charming little spot. Highly recommend.

    My wifes dish was hot and very good, but my dish was served well below what I would consider a safe temp. It was room temp at best. Hence the 3 stars for food. I will be back for another try, and if the food is cold again I will send it back and leave.
