You'll be immediately greeted with the smell of steak, shrimp, and lime..... it's divine. My only complaint is that or steak and groundbeef entries were slightly overcooked, but the flavors were amazing. The sides were fresh, and the chips and house made salsawere tasty. The staff, though busy, were friendly and helpful. The drinks were well made and my double came with the extra shoton the side (a nice touch). If you're in Frederick and craving Mexican or Spanish food give thus place a shot!

Excellent service from the time our party of 3 walked in on a busy Friday evening at 7 until our desserts were finished. And the food was perfect. I had Combination Saltada, Husband had Paella and friend had Seafood Soup. Fried IceCream, Chocolate Mousse and a third for Husband that I can't remember. All delicious!Highly recommend.

It threw me off at how pushy the staff was to get our order in. My niece and I went to go use the little girls room and wasdisturbed by the filth. You can tell the difference between that day mess and mess that has been there. Blood on the stall wallswith dried dark streaks, dark spots on the floor, and just ew. On our way back, noticed that the chips and salsa are just storedon a shelf that has no temperature regulation above a bus tub for dirty dishes. When our food came out, we were let down. Theportion did not match the price. We did not expect baked beans from a can as our refried beans. These beans had pork chunks thatwe were not expecting and turned our stomachs as we do not eat pork. The tortillas with the fajita were cold. My niece couldn'teat most of her chicken tenders because they were so rubbery. We were not that impressed and have blacklisted this restaurantfrom places we will go back to. It was dirty and overpriced.

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very welcoming, and the location is perfect.We've had everything queso, fajitas. chile relleno, roasted chicken, Paella Velanciana, margaritas, Sangria, fried ice cream,chocolate mousse, and the churro bowl, just to name a few things of the top of my head, and they've all been delicious.
