This place is delicious. We were treated to a fine Mexican meal and enjoyed our margaritas while we waited for our table and also with chips and salsa. Can you believe they just brought them to the table along with the menu? I had beef fajitas and the misses had chicken fajitas. No one reads these, thumbs up if you like it.

I’ve been here several times. The food is always fantastic and the staff is great. The salsa is unique and delicious. I would highly recommend the Pollo Felize.

Our favorite place for Mexican and margs!! Seriously the best Margaritas, salsa and cheese dip. My husband doesn't even like Mexican food and we come all the time! He loves the fajitas (big portion) and I get the Pollo Tequila!! Soo good! Jacqueline is the sweetest waitress and we have to sit in her section every time!! Hands down the best in Lincoln!!

We enjoyed our Mexican fare and were given prompt and attentive service. Portions were ample (we took leftovers) and delicious. We came in early on a busy Sunday and had no wait to be seated. Would recommend for those who like Mexican dishes.

I have been here 3 times and every time I have been happy. I choose the vegetarian 3 options build your own meal. In the pic below I had the rice, bean burrito and cheese enchilada. The sauces here are one of a kind deliciously original and the salsa has just the right amount of cilantro in it so I can actually taste it!
