The food was so fresh and delicious!! Beautifully presented a well. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely go back. We ordered water (because drinks are too expensive everywhere), we were given bottled water with the offer of a glass of ice. They did not charge for the waters.

Food was awesome, well seasoned. Authentic tastes, portions are a lot, had to get a doggy bag. Definitely would recommend this place for great food and excellent service. Had the Tableta Potrero and the Fried fish and I tell you, this is now our favorite spot on Hilton Head Island.

I ordered shrimp soup and wanted to share with my friend. So I asked for 2 empty bowls. But our waitress brought 2 separate bowls with soup. At first we thought she heard us wrong and made 2 orders because the bowls seemed really big. But it turned out that it was just one order and she just split for us in advance. She was the only one waitress but she was very fast. The restaurant was crowded but we didn’t have to wait long for our foods. Highly recommended this place to try Mexican foods. It’s cheap and huge amount of foods.

I’m always excited to try authentic Mexican food restaurants. On my first visit, I walked in and all of the staff was behind the counter. I waited for someone to greet me but it did not happen. I approached the staff and asked if anywhere was ok and they said yes. I sat down, received my chips, salsa and drink quickly. It took about ten minutes for the waitress to come back and ask me about my order. Despite not being that busy, my food took awhile to arrive. The chicken enchiladas, rice and beans were delicious. The orange salsa at the salsa bar was some of the hottest and tastiest salsa I have ever had. Staff never came back to ask if things were ok or to refill my drink. On my second visit, (mainly because of the salsa) it was a different experience with the staff. Maria was very attentive and took great care of me. The grilled tilapia, rice and beans were absolutely perfect. I can’t wait to come back and eat more. I highly recommend this place for authentic Mexican food lovers.

I order the seafood soup and the shrimp fajita with rice and beans. They sell soft drinks and beer so I order a nice cold Corona. The atmosphere was nice and so was the staff. I'm definitely going back.
