Downtown Dickson's Best Vibe! Tex-Mex style Craft Street Tacos, Quesadillas & Fresh Squeezed Margaritas are only a few of the items we are known for. We have multiple photo ops and a phenomenal playlist sure to get you in the mood for a Margarita, a Mojito or Two. We feature Taco Tuesday and drink specials throughout the week. Chris Maguire has mastered the flavor as our head chef along with Akinde Olagundoye running the bar program. Don't sleep on the Coconut Mojito or the Queso Fundido.

Great food and such a diverse menu. They had a wonderful local celebration for Cinco de Mayo and it was amazingly fun!!! The staff was so friendly and kind.

We went on Cinco De Mayo, expected a bit more celebration but there was just loud music that was current hits. Deco was kind of blah but nice enough. Service was great and our waitress was always making sure we were ok. Did not care for the salsa, it was spicy but bland and did not taste or look fresh. Queso dip was ok. The pina Colada frozen margarita was very good but my husband’s mixed drink was pretty weak. Meal itself was fair, nothing special but decent taste. My BIGGEST issue was the cost, I should not have to spend 100.00 for two people in a small town like Dickson unless the food was amazing and it was just “ok”. Our drinks cost the most. Overall it was fair but I probably won’t be going back.

The service really was the only good part of this place. This was our first time in and was hoping for good food. The only item we liked was the armadillo eggs and the plantains . Everything else was bland and not good at all. The music was a little loud for me.

Took my mother there for a night out, CRAZY LOUD MUSIC!! Food had no spice, you had to pay for chips and salsa, drink selection and flavors were great. I wouldn’t say I’d go back, but if you are someone who wants to try it out it is worth one shot.

A nice change of pace from the typical American Mexican restaurant. Alyssa on only working there for 2 days was a pleasure. I will come back and bring friends.

We will not be returning. The drinks were the only good thing about this place. We ordered the dip trio appetizer and were served the blandest guacamole I’ve ever had in my life, gross queso, and average salsa. (They also charge for chips & salsa - no freebies here.) Chips & dips were clearly store bought. We also got the armadillo eggs which were soggy and the cheese inside was grainy. We ordered 8 of the street tacos (it seems like they have expanded the menu since) and could not choose a favorite because they were all terrible - we didn’t even finish some of them because they were disgusting. The tortillas were soggy. Nothing was served hot, only room temp. Our bill was over $150 for two people and some of the worst food we’ve had in Dickson. Definitely do not recommend this place unless all you want is a cute picture for instagram.

I had heard amazing things about this place so I tried it . I was disappointed, it’s EXTREMELY loud I met a friend there and could barely hear anything she said even though we were sitting right next to each other . I ordered queso, it was okay a bit spicy, the salsa was extremely spicy to me . The quesadilla was very good but I wouldn’t make a special trip to go back to this place . If you looking for a place to take pictures to post on instagram then this place is for you.
