A great place for authentic Mexican food with large portions, reasonable prices and quality food. An extensive menu and so many great combinations available. Busy at dinner time so come a bit earlier if you want to eat onsite. Or order to go for a well packed and easy to serve meal. Really busy on Sunday evening but worth the wait.

We go there every time we want Mexican food. The food is hot, tasty and the wait is short. The ambiance is Mexican, and the staff is very friendly I don't want to forget this: The price for meals is very affordable. We drive down from Pueblo West, it is worth our drive.

Best take out Mexican food. I went in and ordered enchiladas. They packed my food in a aluminum container that kept my food from getting cold or soggy before I got home near Westcliffe

Went to Royal Gorge in the AM and needed a snack after. Margs on the rocks with nachos did the trick. Service fast and waiter very nice. The place looked packed from the parking lot but we had choice of table or booth. Cool inside was good because 100 outside. Salsa and chips good, as was the guacamole. Will have to go back to get a dinner.
