    Great taste and service. Thanks for the great atmosphere too. Oh, and the margaritas are so tasty.

    I like to start with, they bring cheese dip along with salsa at no extra charge.  On my first visit I had the El Tapitio, flank steak served with scallops, shrimp, and mushrooms. The seafood is served in a butter spiced sauce that is amazing.  I poured it on everything.  Dipped my steak in it and even wanted to bath in it. I also enjoyed a margarita, it was chilled perfectly and tasted like a cup full of love.  
    On my second visit I ordered the Chili Verde.  The sauce lacked any flavor and the pork was dry.  The sauce was thin almost like it was watered down. Not a single tomatillo to be seen.  The portion size was small and I left a little hungry.
    Service on both visits lacked a little, but they did just open, so they may be fine tuning still.  

    I have high hopes for this place.  Grimes hasn't had a Mexican place in a few years.  Not that driving into DeMo is a hassle or anything just nice to have something close.  Two visits and I'm on the fence one great meal, one lacking in flavor and portion size.  Good thing their Marg's are good cuz that's how they'll get me to return and get off the fence.

    Despite the almost non existent wait staff and the confusion when you first walk in with nobody to seat you..the food is amazing and the fajitas are to die for make sure to get Queso with it

    Nice little spot in the mall. Good atmosphere and good food. Would definitely go back again. They have a sampler platter that has a variety of meats that is fabulous.

    We were so looking forward to this place opening- but what a disappointment.  Mine you- the food was tasty- but the service was slow, and the portions were small compared to the competition and price.  They need to go to Cancun or El Barco in Urbandale and see how a local place runs.  I had the chicken fajitas- overpriced and way too little portion for what you paid.  By the way- who charges the same for chicken, steak or shrimp fajitas?  They do.  Doesn't make sense! The chimi's were ok- but lacked any seasoning in the chicken.  
    We hope they make some changes- as they are new- but as of now...they won't survive.  Too bad as we really need a great Mex food place in Grimes.
