I walked in, Roberto was all over me, best lookin waiter in town hands down. The three amigos was amazing, it came to the table with cilantro, which I can’t have due to the fact I’m not a huge fan. The moonlight bay Mexican Lager set the whole experience right off. Best place in town for sure.

This is my favourite restaurant in the area! The food is excellent, never disappoints. The decorations inside are so cute and make you feel like you are in another country. The drinks are amazing! Oh, did i mention this is the best Mexican food i’ve ever tasted? The staff are very informative, friendly and go above and beyond. I recommend the nachos and you can’t leave without having the churros!!

Went here on a whim for lunch while visiting Wainwright, so glad we did. Although it was quite busy, the guy running the place (assuming he's the owner?) Took the time to take our takeout order with accuracy. Even saved us a couple bucks! He was very polite with us. Only waiting about 10 mins and the food was ready, we took it down to our trailer and enjoyed it. The tacos were so good.... came with a smokey, savory, and a little spicy red sauce which complimented the tacos perfectly. The tortilla chips were fresh and delicious, lightly salted with an amazing crunch. If your in the area for some mexican food, look no further! Check this place out, you won't regret it.

We loved this authentic Mexican restaurant experience in the heart of Main Street Wainwright. Great food, Roca shrimp were on point, tacos same, and the best churo's this side of the 49th parallel. First time my Mom had them. The cocktail list is fantastic, mmmmm Mojito. Varied mexican music playing and some great decor. The real deal, Wainwright get on out! Ole!

Highly recommend - we were pleasantly surprised with our entire experience. Shrimp tacos, nachos, and beef flour tortilla tacos (Carmelo) were all delicious. Lime margarita was excellent too. Owner Roberto made sure everyone was happy with their dish. Definitely the best food in Wainwright - we will be back!

If you find yourself traveling through Wainwright, AB take the time to stop at this great place. The food was amazing, service excellent and the atmosphere is charming. Possibly the best tacos I’ve had. And the churos are wonderful.
