Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Coming from Texas, we eat Mexican at least once a week. This is the ONLY Mexican place in town, and it is actually good. Not much English, but still a great experience. The queso was fine and the guacamole was good too. When you are are really going through withdrawals and you want good Mexican this is perfect. Good experience and will hit again before we leave.

The waitress tried very hard but was over whelmed with so many tables at 6pm on a Saturday night. Food average at best.

Been here two or three times with a good friend of mine, the decor is awful and the food is just okay it's hard to order because none of the servers speak very much English I always found myself repeating myself when I order and using the menu I do have to say the wait staff are nice but I don't go out of my way to go here. Definitely not my favorite place to go.. Won't be recommending to anyone.

Food was very good and service was fast. Queso was served a little cold for our liking, but other than that- great food. Free wifi made it a plus. We will go back for sure when in town.

Salsa from a plastic jug, stale chips from a bag, my flautas looked and tasted like what you buy in a wholesale store. The "service"? unattentive and while I walked out the waitstaff was downright rude. Citrus County folks really ought to demand better from their restaurants. This place wouldn't last five minutes in any place with a choice. Avoid this place if you value your eating experience.

Absolutely horrible. If you have been out west and gotten used to authentic Mexican food, this might have been taco bell. I had the hot and spicy try if it you dare burrito and it wasn't spicy at all. To top it off I asked if they could put onions and cilantro in it and they looked at me like i was crazy. Drive by and don't stop. I would give it zero stars.

Horrible. I've read reviews about a restaurant being bad, but went anyway and had a good experience. Everyone has an opinion, but folks trust me it's bad. We have heard others say the same thing. Service is terrible. A friend went last night, had to literally grab his waiter by the arm to get the check. The lack of a good Mexican restaurants in Crystal River forces some to give in and go here from time to time, but it's pretty much a regretable experience from everyone I know who has gone there. I got a chile relleno, worst I've ever had. Not even a whole pepper, not a poblano, and a BLOCK of partially melted white Mexican melting cheese on it, covered with some tomato sauce and more cheese. I had to hunt for the pepper. All the cheese was making me so sid to my stomach I threw most of it away. The waiter was very rude to me also. There should be an option to give no stars, I would use it here.

The restaurant was just perfect for what we wanted. We had been on the road all day, weren't real hungry and had already had a lot of seafood that week. Service was quick. Everyone was attentive and friendly. My quesadias were delicious! But the margaritas were horrible. I did manage to drink 2. Next time I will bring my Crystal Light margarita drink mix!

Simple restaurant but tasty food and low prices. Big refill glasses on soda. No liquor . I would prefer hotter salsa

This is the ONLY Mexican place in crystal river. We arrived at 5pm on a Wednesday And it was packed in the parking lot!! It was just opening but filled fast. This place is authentic Mexican. Fast service, nice servers, food is cooked fast and chips and drinks are always full. If we visit the area again I will be back!

Service was excellent and food was delicious. Husband loves the cheese dip and for the both of us it was only $23 for our meal. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

We were in this restaurant this week. The service was great, price reasonable and the food was fantastic. Their homemade salsa is the best. We ate here last year and the food was just as good as I remember. Definitely will go back.

Gross food. Beef looks like Alpo and chicken chimi was all dark meet. The chips and salsa were good so we filled up on that. it also came with a side of rice, so I had chips and rice for my lunch. I didn't eat my chicken chimi. I really think Taco Bell looks like fine dining compared to this place. This is the only Mexican place in town (I'm not counting the chain restaurants because I rarely eat at a chain restaurant) so they can be as bad as they want and still get business. Bypass this place!

excellent service always, never have we had a bad meal. This is our go to mexican spot.
(5)Richard N.
Spanish really is the primary language at this restaurant, so english ordering may or may not get you what you think you ordered. Not a pleasant experience so we will not be back.
(1)Jayne S.
We love to eat here and go almost weekly. For Citrus County is it the best "Mexican" around with friendly staff - although all don't speak English very well. I try something different all the time!
