  Most disgusting food I have ever had!!!  I got a burrito and could only take two bites.  The best thing on the plate was the side of iceberg lettuce.  Stay away from this place if you want anything edible.  On a positive the staff were nice.

  Man has this place improved with time. It is now my family's favorite restaurant to go to in Goochland. We have eaten almost everything off of the menu and have enjoyed it all. The steaks are sometimes thin, but are cooked the way I want them. The whole family enjoys the cheese dip and guaco that they make at table side. My sons alwasy get the same: nachos, tacos, or soft tacos. The food flavor has definitely improved and the daqauri's are fantastic.

  Had the jalapeno poppers, burrito grande, and flan.
  * The poppers were delicious, with plenty of hot cheese inside and nice crispy breading, and great flavor, but one of them was a runt. I didn't feel like making a big deal out of it, but just from a presentation perspective, you should use that one for chopping up into salsa or something.
  * The flan was very well made - the waitress said she made it herself, and it tasted like it.
  
  If only for those two items, this place could have had four stars. The service was not that great, though. In order to get drink refills I had to flag down the waitress - one wasn't even mine. It wasn't terrible, but could have been improved, especially with the number of different waitstaff I saw. If you're not doing anything, keep an eye on the customers! I can't expect my drink to be magically refilled, but places that do that earn the fifth star.
  
  Then there's the burrito. Yes, it was grande, very filling. But it had no taste to it. Mexican food is more than basic ingredients in a tortilla. While they seemed to be fresh, there wasn't much in the way of spices added. I should be thankful that at least there was plenty of meat inside - some places love to skimp on that.
  
  Overall, if you want good quality food, this place is a lot better than the chains around it. If you want authentic Mexican taste, though, this is not the place. Except, maybe, that flan. I almost want to give that a separate review. Come for the flan. Seriously.

  My wife and I were so excited to have a Mexican restaurant in Goochland. We eat a lot is Mexican food and it is traditionally hard to mess up Mexican restaurant food. But this place found plenty of ways to do just that. From beginning to end, this was an awful dining experience for two people who are generally easy to please. The nachos were bland and flavorless. The salsa was ice box / freezer cold and not very flavorful. The service took forever to take our order and deliver out completely forgettable dishes. Even the beans were boring and tasteless. Very sad to say but we will be driving past this place in our way to get Mexican food in Richmond.
  
  Upon second visit, food greatly improved.
