Biggest Margarita I have ever seen! And tasty as well. Had the shrimp la creama and it was wonderful! Service was good and the folks serving me were very friendly. Definitely a must visit in Potosi Mo.

I've been coming here since the place opened, which had to have been back around 2002-3. It's great tex mex food, and one of the best restaurants in town. The food comes out pretty quick, and they can easily serve parties of 8. If you're looking for a place to stop for lunch or dinner in Potosi, this is a solid option.

Always have a great experience when dining in. Our most recent visit, we had Mario's quesadilla, 1-person steak fajitas, and chicken quesadilla. All was hot and fresh. Quick preparation, I think we only had to wait 10 minutes for food to arrive. Super delicious. Highly recommend if in the area. You won't be disappointed. The portions are generous and I don't really have complaints. (It is often cooler in there, so if you get cold easy might want a light jacket) 10 out of 10 will be back. Don't forget the jumbo margaritas to compliment the meal.

Heading back to St. Louis on a road trip, and we were on the lookout for a dinner spot. Stopped in on a whim, because when isn't Mexican food a good idea? (The answer is never). We were seated right away and the staff were friendly. Service was quick, and the menu had a good amount of variety. So much so that it was hard to pick what to order. We enjoyed complimentary chips and salsa while we looked over the menu and made our selections. After we ordered, it was just a short time before our food was ready. It came out piping hot, and very tasty. We didn't feel rushed to eat our food so that they could seat another couple, but they seemed decently busy, which is always a good sign. We'll certainly keep it in mind as a dining option in the future if we have another road trip that brings us to the area.

Very run down looking and needs a good deep clean - but the food was pretty good and the service was great.

Food is always good. Usually very quick to get things we ask for. Wait time to get your food is minimal. Overall a wonderful place to get an authentic Mexican dinner.

Great menu, almost too many to choose from. Large portions and quick service. Very friendly staff, constantly checking on drinks and whether they could do more for us. The Shrimp ala Diablo was full of shrimp and well spiced, the chicken burrito was humongous and filled to the brim with savory chicken and cheese.
