" I had high hopes coming here based on the reviews, but the experience was a rollercoaster. The service was attentive, but the food could have been better. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were decent but lacked that punch of authentic flavor I was expecting. The atmosphere was cozy, but I felt like the pricing for the portion sizes didn't match the quality we received. I might give it another shot in the future, but I'm not sure yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a wonderful time. The decor is lively and inviting, making it a fun place to eat. The food was good; I especially enjoyed the quesadillas and the house made guacamole! Service was friendly and quick. We definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an experience! The owner personally attended to us, and you could tell they genuinely cared about our satisfaction. The stacked tacos I ordered were bursting with flavor, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. Not to mention the margaritas were some of the best I've tasted. We indulged in the special of the day too, and it was spectacular! Will definitely back for more culinary excellence! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely find in Ames! We had a large group, and despite being busy, the staff handled it well. The food was flavorful, albeit a little spicy for my taste. The ambiance was festive and added a nice vibe to our meal. I’d recommend the carnitas, which were juicy and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family out to Celaya TexMex after hearing such positive feedback and we're glad we did! Everyone found something they liked, and the chicken enchiladas were especially popular. The portions were generous, and everything tasted freshly made. The decor is vibrant and adds a nice touch to the overall dining experience. We will definitely be coming back to try the dinner specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos were loaded with delicious toppings! I admired how the owners kept checking on us—that personal touch was nice. The only downside was the price slightly higher than expected, given the portion size. Otherwise, I had a great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" A decent enough experience. The portion sizes were generous, but I found my burrito to be a bit bland. Service was good, and the atmosphere was vibrant, but I wish the food had more flavor. I might give it another try, but I’ll choose different items on the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)
