Worst service I’ve had in a while. My wife never got her meal, then when they realized it, she was only brought part of her meal. The part they brought was incorrect and not the complete meal she ordered. They offered to pay for her meal and give us dessert, but after 20 minutes and no dessert in sight, we decided to leave. One star was required or they’d have gotten none.

Food? Okay Service? Bad We went on Sunday with a big group of family and didn’t realize we were going during the church rush. Needless to say, we spent a good hour in the courtyard waiting for our table. Our one request? Drinks. We had fussy little kids and a drink for them would drastically improve our situation. They said someone would be right out, but it took over 20 minutes for them to realize we were still waiting and another 20 to actually get our drinks. Once seated, the waitress was more focused on making sure she didn’t get suckered out of any drinks than making sure we had an ample amount of fresh chips spread around the table. We had to repeatedly ask for high chairs and it wasn’t until we went to grab one from an empty table that our waitress snapped to the fact that we were still waiting. Our chips were stale and we requested fresh ones, but she said ‘they shouldn’t be stale’ and ignored our request. Of course, we had ordered queso(which was surprisingly good!), so the chips were gobbled up anyway. Repeated requests for more chips were ignored, and while the number of patrons in the restaurant had easily cut in half by the time we were seated it still took well over an hour to get our food. We didn’t come here for the TexMex, we actually came because my family is filled with burger fanatics and there’s were supposedly good. I got a chicken burger and had no complaints except for the cold, bland fries. They forgot the cheese on my husbands burger and rather than offer to re-make it or take it back to the kitchen they offered to bring him a cold slice of cheese to top it with. Another family member got sick after leaving because her bun had been burnt and she opted to eat it rather than complain. Overall the food was just okay. I don’t live close enough to eat here regularly, but it would be a nice dining experience on a summer evening. It’s definitely worth another try to test out their fajitas.

Great Texmex restaurant absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. Stuffed avocados are to die for along with the steak a la Mexicana. I also absolutely fell in love with their habanero salsa which is one of their homemade SPICY sauce! Definitely going back.

I really think this place is a hidden gem. It’s overshadowed by the Gin and now has competition for customers from Scores, but the food is phenomenal and their margaritas are borderline epic. If you are looking for a more personal dining atmosphere that isn’t trying too hard(like the Gin), go here. Arguably the best Tex-Mex option in town.

I had a quiet lunch alone on a Tuesday morning just as they opened. The Mexican egg rolls, with a spicy chicken filling, were exactly enough for lunch, maybe because I didn’t fill up on chips. This should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: Yes, the salsa is made in-house daily. The chips came out warm and with exactly enough salt. Service was attentive without being annoying.

Went Saturday for lunch. Of course, found it on Unilocal.The location is fantastic. An old cotton gin area by a running creek has been transformed into a food and entertainment area. Lots of families playing and swimming in the creek. The water was very clean with nice grassy banks. Big shady gazebo overlooking swim area. They have spent a lot of time and money to make this a nice area. the restaurant patio overlooks the creek so nice view. The food was great. My steak a la Mexicana was seasoned perfectly and a large portion. Glenda had her usual enchiladas that were really good. Salsa was ok. Now, for the perfect ending. I ordered the Mexican coffee(see picture of menu). OMG. I could of drank 5, but I was driving. Perfect sweetness covered in whip cream. I highly recommend this place for the food and the location.

Another disappointing restaurant experience in Belton… We tried this place just after moving here earlier this year This is not Mexican food. It’s Americanized for American taste buds. Not even tex-mex quality I ordered the most common enchilada plate My enchiladas were covered in chili and cheese My husband’s food was smothered in cheese as well Salsa was on the bland side Margaritas were overloaded with sugar. Over priced for the quality The restaurant itself isn’t very nice. Think they didn’t more on the sign than the atmosphere Won’t be coming back.

The food is amazing and the atmosphere is unlike anything else in the area. I absolutely love where the restaurant is located this is hands down my favorite place to go get Mexican food in the temple/belton area. The food is good and authentic nothing fussy just delicious food with a warm, welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. My favorite menu item is the beef fajita I usually get the beef fajita nachos. I have never had a negative experience and the service is very consistently plesant. Sitting outside is beautiful especially as the sun sets and the string lights in the Nolan creek common area are turned on. Occasionally there is live music and the fire pits will be going– the setting is truly lovely!

First visit here was for lunch on a Saturday about a year ago. We were seated right away and ordered within 5 min. Our food was brought out 5 min after that almost immediately followed by the check — not what I was looking for for a slow relaxing Saturday lunch with waiter hovering and waiting for payment! By the way, food was just OK. Second visit is today, 5th May. Ordered frozen margaritas at 6 pm. Got chips and 6.15. At 6.20 pm told that margarita machine was broken(really? Today?!) Switched to beer and margarita on the rocks which arrived promptly. Still waiting for the steak quesadilla and the extra chips… It is now 6.30… I give up! Server is trying but they are under staffed. Don’t think there’ll be a third chance.

I had the Ceviche and a Tequila Sunset. Great drink and great appetizer. Extremely quick service and great rustic Mexican atmosphere. The building exterior is awesome and fits the area. I did go there on a date. Horrible date but the food and drink is definitely the most memorable part. I would recommend the place due to food, atmosphere and fair prices. I did find the queso and the salsa & chips average as far as flavor.

This is not real Mexican. Do not eat here I tried so hard to find things worth praising here. My service was good? My food was. Cooked? Lets go with the basics: — The salsa was very possibly spicy tomato paste. No signs of any other salsa like ingredients. — The only hot sauce they had available was Tabasco. — My rice was straight, plain yellow goya rice. Not seasoned or flavored in any way. — My chicken was the same. The only flavor it had was from being flattened and grilled. The veggies on top were the only good part. — The queso also lacked seasoning, peppers or anything other than melted Monterey cheese. Please change its name on the menu to Semi-liquid cheese sauce. Essentially, literally everything I ate here was bland and depressed. Texas is suppose to have real Mexican & this is upsetting. I cannot imagine how this place is ‘Belton’ s Best Mexican’ unless it is the only Mexican place in town.
