We stopped here based on a happy hour recommendation, which they donât serve on weekends but we stopped on our way down from viewing the sunset at Haleakala anyway. They have really fresh, chunky, unique salsa and their chips are also good. We had a handful of flour chips thrown in with our corn chips, which seemed to be a thing they do, and I really liked that twist. Our food was good, but not the best Mexican food Iâve ever eaten (Iâve had some great meals in TX and CA). We did enjoy our dinner, though, and the portions are huge, prices are reasonable. FYI, our waitress said the enchiladas all have a âred sauceâ but it was actually a mole sauceâtwo totally different things. It was fine, but not what I expected so I wouldâve ordered something else had I realized that. In any case, this is a neat little joint with a great atmosphere and the food is good enough to enjoy.

We ate here with another couple one night when we were on the hunt for Mexican food. Personally I didnât enjoy my dish but the other 4 in my party enjoyed theirs. I would say it was an average place. Not bad but not particularly good either.

My spouse has been on a roll with giving me great recommendations on restaurants Iâve never been to! My friend who came along also had a great experience here, so two positives should be enough confirmation. ATMOSPHERE:Theyâre located in the Azeka Shopping Center in the south wing where the gas station is. Itâs a quaint eatery with high ceilings which gives that airy feeling. Thereâs a small bar and low tops throughout. MENU:All the traditional Mexican fare including a childrenâs menu and a handful of desserts. They also have an arsenal of tequila along with cocktails and beer. BEVERAGE:Hawaiian Hibiscus Margarita - $11.00Iâve had hibiscus juice in Mexico and liked it. Itâs similar to fruit punch but not as sweet. Combining that in a margarita sounded refreshing so this was an easy choice. I got it on the rocks, no salt. It was put together well with the perfect amount of alcohol and juice. FOOD:Burrito Grande - $13.99I added ground beef for $3.99 more. IMO, ground beef is the quintessential meat for anything Mexican as itâs easy to eat, eliminating the need for silverware or âtooth-cuttingâ. And, I prefer its texture compared to strips of steak. The burrito comes loaded with rice (which I axed), refried beans, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, grilled bell peppers, grilled onions and oddly mozzarella cheese, topped with a drizzle of sour cream. Yum, yum, yum. Soft and fresh tortilla, tasty filling, good portion size. My only complaint is the onions couldâve grilled more. SERVICE:We were immediately greeted and seated by Hugh who ended up being our server. Very friendly and professional guy for his young age. A small hiccup with my order was immediately fixed without hassle as I received my burrito without ground beef. Thank you! OVERALL:Any Mexican eatery that serves ground beef is a winner in my book! Good food and service. A nice alternative to my favorite local Mexican chain.
