“ This place is awesome! A friend advised they are one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Topeka. I definitely agree! We were greeted with friendly Hello's from the staff at the door. Our waiter was pleasant, prompt and our food came out fresh, hot, & pretty quick. They had a mobile guacamole cart and we had fresh guacamole made at our table. Other waiters checked on us as they walked by and the staff thanked us as we were leaving. I give this place all 5 stars the atmosphere was great and the food was awesome as well. After visiting this restaurant I would have to agree with my friend that this is one of the greatest Mexican restaurants in Topeka! I want to say thanks to everyone working here for the best vibrations and food experience!! ”

But the guac she made tasted so good I had to over look the sound. Our was was cool! I forgot to take pictures of my platter because I was ready to eat. But it was wonderful! ”
