A group of us were out for a Bachelorette weekend and our bride wanted Mexican food. We were so happy to have found this spot. Everyone left satisfied with the food and service. The food was authentic and delicious and our waitresses were ON POINT! The drinks were great. Everything came out in a decent time; we didn't wait too long. I do suggest calling and making a reservation especially if your group is big since it's a nice cozy restaurant. We were a group of 7 and called ahead of time. Our table was ready for us when we walked in so we didn't have to wait to be seated. It was a great experience from the phone call to make the reservation to arriving and enjoying our dinner. If I'm ever back in the area I will definitely be returning.

Quaint little 8 table restaurant serving up some sizable and authentic mexican dishes. Doesn’t hurt it also offers a beautiful beach front view of Long Island sound. The cocktails are prepared well, appetizers fresh and if I must say, the carne asada is mind blowing good. I’ve been coming here for few years now and the friendly atmosphere makes it all worth while. It’s a bit out of the way, but trust me, they’re worth the trip.

Great choice if you are in the area and want Mexican food (some Italiano options on the menus) and reasonable prices and warm service and waterview. It was tasty.

Yum!! This place was recommended to us by our friend who lives in Bayville. She told us specifically that we HAD to eat here, because food from anywhere else would be less than as good from here. So we took her word for it and we were pleasantly satisfied and happy, she was right! We all loved our three dishes including chicken and veggies, quesadilla, and enchiladas. We also got a delicious pitcher of sangria! The food and drinks were worth it! Would certainly come back :). Don’t forget to pair this restaurant with either the beach across the street or golfing next door! So fun!
