I recently had an unpleasant experience with your restaurant. In trying too pay for my meals i was told that my gift card 30553 0000 01366 was no good. I spent $38.07 on it (attached) and there is a remainder of $35.93. The receipt is very faded and illegible. I understand your system has changed. Any chance I can get the $35.93+ lost? I am a Crystal Park HOA resident. Diane Whitlock

Always an amazing dining experience. Getting a little pricey but what isn't. This place is worth it.

Very good Mexican restaurant with excellent margaritas. It's far from the chaos in the middle of Manitou Springs. Plenty of parking. Fairly small but quaint decor. The service was slow to start but to be honest it was packed! We had the wings (highly recommend) and the mocajete. Also recommend. Sorry no photos, we devoured everything before I even thought of it. Will return! Definitely!

Found this cute restaurant when we were in Manitou Springs this weekend. My hubs ordered a delicious Cantina Cadillac margarita and steak tacos. I had the shrimp tacos. Guacamole was 10/10. Steak tacos he said we're absolutely delicious. My shrimp tacos were good but they needed a little bit more flavor. The mango salsa was good, but there was very little of it on the tacos. It was a fun restaurant. I would probably go back.

Hidden gem! My vrbo hosts recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Set outside at dusk, gorgeous atmosphere. Good service and the food was delicious. Started with Cantina Margherita then had the Mexican mix with Chilli rieno, beef enchilada and shrimp tacos. So good

We went here for lunch today 7/9/24 and it was pretty good. We got there for an early lunch around 11 and looked like the firsts guests there. (We have been on a mission to find good Mexican food here and it's hard) We were seated fast and got nice cold water brought to our table which we decided to sit out on the patio and it was really nice plus they had umbrellas so was helpful with the sun out. The salsa wasn't the best salsa (just hard to find a really amazing salsa which has a good kick, :( so that was a bummer but I've had worse so it wasn't that bad but wasn't something I would want to go back and try again). The pulled pork tacos were great thought. It was done well and had a good flavor too and the beans were awesome and rice was different than what I'm used to but it was good. Every one was friendly and service was great too. We love to try new places and glad we stopped here to try. We will go back again to try something else but probably on our next vacation.

My daughter and I found this cute and charming place after a day of shopping in Manitou. We were very happy and surprised by what we found. The parking is a little tricky. There's a few slots and then space on the opposite side of the road, which was pretty busy on a Friday afternoon. The building and interior was very cute and looked very nice with the various colors and decorations giving off a great authentic Mexican vibe. The restaurant was very lively for 2 pm on a Friday and the two waitresses were very busy, but handling things well. I felt a bit bad for them when a difficult woman came in to eat, yet they handled her well and directed her smoothly. Great service! As for the food it was absolutely amazing! The flavors were so good and everything tasted so good. We were especially impressed with the guacamole and my steak tacos were wonderfully marinated. If I had to say anything needed work, the salsa tasted a bit burnt or overdone. Prices were very reasonable and we were just really pleased with our find. Now to introduce the men in our family to this gem!
