    National Margarita Day - so they really did the Best they could with a Massive crowd!.As always- margs were Delicious! Machete marg is nice blend of a slight spice and watermelon. Ceviche is best in DFW. ITS MAINLY seafood- most places seem to be the Vegggies- fruits. Always ask for a quiet table on your reservation- as big glassed in room to the right is perfect for the music ambience but also being able to hear and chat!

    Many visits here, this was the most lively and crowded due to National Margarita Day. Our server was excellent and unruffled by the loud party atmosphere. We had table side margaritas which was a fun touch. The squash blossom quesadillas are the best, the enchiladas were great! The pork chop was so-so not much seasoning but overall always a great experience. Our go to spot in Plano for fresh Mexican food.

    Great place to eat, the food was wonderful. It did take a while for the server to stop by the table at first, but was very attentive after that. It was very loud, but with hard surfaces all around it would be hard to be more quiet. .
