I have ordered out and dined in a handful of times. Staff are always friendly. Food is always good, though during one visit beans were a little too salty and the flautas were not crispy enough. Could pass on the salsa. Overall, authentic Mexican flavors, ambiance, and deliciousness !! Will continue to c

The food was pretty good. Got chips and dip on the side. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this place if you are in the area.

My wife and I go there all the time! The food and service are always great. Now I've never been to Mexico to eat but I've eaten at a lot of Mexican Restaurants, and this is the best. The food is always fresh and made to order. The salsa has a nice bite, and the chips are always fresh. We like the Mango Margreta's.

We've been here a bunch of times for lunch more because Ethelred the only Mexican in Rome, but also because they have a nice outdoor patio. The service is good and the food is, too. It's what you would expect from Mexican - you get chips and salsa when seated. They have margaritas, but I think they're kind of weak. If there was another option for Mexican in Rome, we might rather try another place, but since it's the only place in town - we eat here. I rated them 4 stars based on this. The reality is if there was any competition - I'd probably only rate them 3 stars.

My fiancé and I love authentic style Mexican food and this place delivers every time. I love that everything they serve is actually made and not a pre-made store bought product. The staff is always friendly and the taco Tuesday deal you can't beat. Everyone must try this you won't regret it!

We stopped for lunch and were pleased with the meal. Restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. Staff were friendly and welcoming, food was delicious and the prices were VERY reasonable. I'm glad we found this establishment and will surely be back! Thank you for a fantastic experience.

I've been living overseas for a few years now and mexican is one thing I have craved the entire time. Europeans can't seem to do this at all. Its a breathe of fresh air to have a local mexican restaurant nearby. My husband and I plan on giving them a lot of business. We enjoy their food for the price. He orders margaritas by the buckets with fajitas. He tried their Carne Asada meal during lunch hours but it wasn't great. It was like a piece of leather. The Fajita meat was much better. I enjoy the simplicity of their tacos. I prefer their chicken over the beef. Their beef is more of a cereal consistency if you know what I mean. I can eat 10 hardshell tacos in one sitting so I go to their Taco Tuesday. For the price, we love this place and the service is fast and friendly. I really enjoy their free chips and salsa. Yummm!!!
