It is so rare to find a place that does many things well. This place does.
Came in looking for Mexican food but ended up ordering mostly Asian.
The lunch 2 meat special is a great way to try multiple dishes.
Waitress was willing to customize everything, even the sauces on the dishes.
Wonderful experience, I will eat here and recommend it every time I am in Tuscaloosa.

I really like this place. There is a lot to choose from. I got guacamole dip as an appetizer and it was so fresh! The Street Tacos were fantastic with fresh cilantro. Quick service and friendly staff. I would revisit this place again.

Strange combo of a restaurant as they have 2 menus…. Mexican and Asian Bistro. Can’t speak for the Asian food, but the Mexican food was great and the portions are huge. We ordered the steak fajitas for one and 2 of us still took home left overs. Even the chips and salsa was fantastic. Don’t judge a book by its cover and try this restaurant!

In an old Ruby Tuesday building... It's two restaurants in one building. When you are seated, you are given a menu for the Mexican restaurant and a menu for the Chinese restaurant. I've tried both and they are what you would expect. It's fun to order off both menus. Chips, salsa and general Tso's chicken. Good times.

Incredibly slow wait. Very nice waitstaff. Had to wait forever to get drinks or get our order taken, and the restaurant was not slammed. We also never got drink refills.
Everyone who ordered Chinese options loved their food. One member of our party ordered the taco salad. If you order the grilled chicken/grilled vegetable mix, you get delicious chicken and great refried beans and everything else gets quickly ruined because the veggies are covered in a tomato-salsa + sweet and sour sauce combination that is one of the worst things I have ever tasted. They also don’t really cook the carrots (and why on earth are carrots in a taco salad?), so you have huge pieces of raw carrot and cooked onion that are drowned in that awful sauce and end up making the whole thing disgusting.
So: we recommend any of the Chinese dishes, and to avoid the taco salad.
HONEST REVIEW!!!
Me and my Girlfriend Saturday for lunch. They do not serve Asian food on Saturdays, so we were left with Mexican. We ended up ordering take out for her mom as well.
SERVICE: The service was great, explain the menu very well, and kept drinks refilled.
Food: I got the Cancún Rice Bowl Combo 3 . and it was good, well seasoned, get a nice size bowl. it is Mexican Rice bowl topped with queso, sautéed veggies, (Bell Peppers, and Onions) shrimp, beef, and chicken with pico. Only downside about the dish is, They should of seasoned the vegetables a little more.
Guacamole: it was okay, it lacked lime and salt.
Taco salad: girlfriend got the salad and she didn't like it. She said the meat didn't have a good texture to it, the lettuce was to wet, and felt like the salad needed a kick.
Shrimp Taco: She didn't care for the shrimp taco, said the Shrimp was bland.
Messy Nacho: Didn't like the nachos, Felt like they didn't give her the right amount of serving, didn't have no flavor,
