    I've been to many Mexican restaurants over the years, but this is by far the very best of them all! There were five in our dinner party, one of whom is a professional chef. After finishing his meal, his comment was "This is the best I've ever eaten!" Not only was the food excellent, but the ambiance was relaxing and friendly. Our server got every order correct, checked on us frequently and shared his great sense of humor with us, which we all enjoyed! Two other staff members made friendly appearances. As for a recommendation, we all would highly recommend this gem of an eatery!! We also thank the entire staff for providing us an excellent experience. Out of a five star rating, we give it a ten!!!

    A wonderful Mexican restaurant in Morristown many people might not know about. Service was impeccable. A real cozy atmosphere and not very crowded when I was here. The food was delicious. I will definitely be back again.

    This restaurant doesn't deserve five stars but it also probably is a little better than a four. The food was a little bland and it's kind of a cheap quick place to eat. Nothing spectacular but I would definitely go there again. The chips were okay but the salsa was a little bland although they did have multiple versions of their salsa.
