“ If you want amazing authentic Mexican food this is your spot! KP is amazing an amazing server. Overall excellent service and experience! The entire staff here is very friendly, and makes you feel like family! They were also so very accommodating to food allergies as well. Will be back time and time again! ”
“ I don’t usually write reviews but I just had the best shrimp tacos I have ever had in my life from here and it would be a shame not to acknowledge it. Who ever cooked them shrimp tacos tonight deserves a raise. I ordered take out so I knew the food wasn’t going to have the same integrity as it would had I eaten them fresh but I was blown away by how much flavor, texture, and intensity my lukewarm tacos still had by the time I got home. Great job! Adding a photo for the algorithm; but note these tacos were so much better than they looked! ”
“ Chips and salsa were fantastic. Our meals were very good. Drinks were also very good. ”
“ Our server was the only server on, taking care of both the inside and outside tables and he did it efficiently and with a smile on his face! The food is only outdone by the service! ”
“ Delicious food, attentive waitress, and a hometown ambience. I ate here with a party of five. I had a burrito and the chile rellenos. I lost track of what everyone else in my party was eating, as I was too preoccupied with gobbling down my selections. If you get out to Watertown I highly recommend that you make this your destination lunch spot. ”
“ My wife and I really enjoyed our food and drinks we had. I highly recommend this place, great service and amazing food on top of it all. Hands down sone of the best I've had around this area! We plan on going back very soon. Yummy ”
“ Had early dinner here tonight- menu is huge but we started with Texas margaritas which were dangerously good! While we tried to figure out what to have for dinner, we ordered the Catrina guacamole-this was by far the best guacamole I have ever had and I grew up in California! I ordered the carne asada and it was everything I had missed from the authentic Mexican restaurants out west! We will definitely be back! Food and service was 5 star! ”
“ Stopped in after a long bike ride from Minneapolis. I ordered the Chimichanga and it was good, my wife got the Chimi-fajita which she enjoyed and a friend ordered the large Catrina’s Guac. The best item was the handmade guac. The added mango and jalapenos was great. Overall the food, service and atmosphere was good. Would recommend. ”
