I don t know what happened this time but service was horrible the girl waitress took forever to take our drinks she seemed lost never came to ask if we needed refills and was quick about getting our ticket. Sad to say we are not going back again to top it off received our food and 10 minutes later received our tortillas.

Im sure the sports bar side of the house is great. The resturaunt side was lacking. Not the bold, Susans alone taste in dishes that I expect from Mexican cuisine.

I ordered the taco plate barbacoa and asada. The plate and tacos came out cold. We advised the waitress about the plate , she took the plate and returned it 10 minutes later. The same plate with same tacos seemed they either placed it in microwave or oven. When tasting the barbacoa tacos they tasted very very burnt and dry.

We were visiting from out of town and came to this place cause it was closest. Atmosphere was good..waiters were on on top of their tables. Smiles and good representation. Food was great. Salsa was good. One factor I wasnt pleased with was the hamburger meat. It was good but very soggy and mushy. To eat their own, i guess lol. Just not used to hamburger meat that way. Other then that... keep up the great work

I placed an order for shrimp aguachiles & understood that it may take longer for it to be prepared. When everyone in our party was almost finished, another server let us know they were making fresh salsa for it, so I requested it to be bagged to-go instead. 10 minutes after everyone has finished & the ticket has been paid, we are told that it is being bagged up & they will bring it right out. 5 more minutes, I finally received a refund because I was advised that it was actually accidentally sent out twice to other tables that ordered after us. I cant say it tasted good because I never got my food. Thankfully I did have my grandbabies to entertain while I never received my food.

Oh how I wish I could give this restaurant ZERO STARS! Bartenders (2 females) really changed our mood... they were unpleasant, not friendly, no smiles, no excitement and were not in an hurry to take our orders! Definitely not who should welcome us 1st in the door! Next, the waiter... slow, honestly I we thought he left, went home or ran errands and then decided to return to charge us an outrageous amount for dinner! Lets get to the food... horrible, sad theyre calling this mexican food.. dry, no taste, bland, boring, disgusting.. sad.. Now to the icing on the cake... total cost of meal.. $138.71.. $106.14 subtotal + 8.76 Tax + 19.12 Gratuity + 4.69 SERVICE!!!! This restaurant was a total waste of time & money & bar staff really turned our mood upside down... GO SOMEWHERE ELSE - GO TO TACO BELL - this place is worthless.

$38 for two? Yes please First off, the rice was fully cooked & tasted great (a lot of places tend to have some hard pieces, or it s over cooked & soggy), $14 asada was delicious, $16 fajitas were amazing & it didn t break the bank! Server was attentive, my glass was never empty. Will definitely come back and try their quesadillas next time.

I visited Lubbock from out of state and my friends took me here. We had and paid for drinks from the bar while we were waiting for our table. The drink and food were both great. I had the Mexican flag enchilada plate, with one beef and 2 cheese. The beef was under seasoned, but the cheese enchiladas were great and all 3 of the sauces were good also. My only complaint is that the bartender turned my $1 tip into a $10 tip. I dont know if that was accidental or on purpose, but I had to submit a claim to my bank. Still giving 5 overall stars since one worker shouldnt ruin the whole experience.

Not worth the wait. We waited 25 minutes to be seated for lunch on a Saturday. It was another 10 minutes before anyone took our drink order. Food took a while (more than two rounds of chips and salsa). The enchiladas and tacos were bland, and the chili rellenos were soggy. But the waiter and waitress were friendly.

I usually get the enchiladas supremas and its a large meal so I have plenty of leftover to take home and there queso is the best in town. And of course I have to brag on the flan and tres leches cake they are amazing. You will not be disappointed if you go to Cancun trust me it will become your date night spot...

$7.50 for three of the tiniest jalapeños poppers I have ever seen served at a restaurant. Thats a small take out container btw but Im sure you can tell by the toothpick size what I mean. Tacos didnt come with the beans, cilantro, or the limes I asked for. And the fajita meal we got, stated it would be served with grilled shrimp on the menu, yet we didnt receive those either.

I ve only eaten here twice, however this restaurant does not miss. The first time I visited I had the four enchilada plate with a chilton and that was delicious. I think their cheese enchilada was my favorite. The second time I ordered the giant burrito ranchero with a cantarito. This meal was portioned just right. I never had a single bite that was too much one thing or another. And their staff is quick, polite and very friendly. If your looking for some of the best Mexican food in Lubbock that won t break your bank look no further than Cancun
