We came here for a birthday party for my brother and not only was the waitress precise with her taking the orders she got everything right and didn't mess up anything at all. We would still have drinks left in our cups and she would be back with refills. Definitely amazing service and I will definitely be going back

5 stars!!!!! This place had THE best Mexican food that my husband and I have EVER had out at a restaurant EVER! EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! From the chips and yummy salsa, to the visually pretty as well as really delicious strawberry Margarita, to the actual meals that we ordered as well as the dessert- ALL of it was Ah-mazing!!!!! Our 2 girls inhaled their food and enjoyed every bite. The service was so fast as well as friendly and they gave my active duty Army husband a military discount off of our tab. Super nice of the owner to support our military like that. I love it when businesses appreciate us and it makes me want to just go do business with them more. Too bad we were only passing through town or else we would dine out here weekly but I am so glad we stopped here to eat, best choice ever! I highly recommend. You will love it!!

A delicious Tex Mex location in downtown Madisonville. I had the street tacos and the meat was well seasoned pretty moist. The salsa was flavorful and spicy. The service was friendly. The atmosphere was very inviting the music, the decorations very good restaurant clean interior, clean bathrooms and would recommend and look forward to coming back. The parking can be a little bit tough with it being downtown has very limited spots but worth walking to if needed. Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend. Still looking for the 5 Star. 5 Stars: Top of their game. Great food. Great service. Would recommend and plan on returning.

What a find! On route from Houston to Plano, we could have chosen anywhere, but we are very pleased we found Lalos for a quick bite to eat! Well worth a visit to experience all the theming and authentic cuisine. This is a very large restaurant, it is colourful and friendly.

Married to a 16 year chef. It's hard to find places with very good seasoned food that he truly enjoys. Well at least whoever prepared our food did a great job he as well as I, very much enjoyed the food, and the environment just felt friendly and well and nicely clean keep place. The staff were very polite and well presented. I truly recommend this place.

I've been here twice already, and it's always been an excellent dining experience. The decor is really nice and feels very Mexico! They give out complimentary chips and salsa and black beans, which were so good. All their menu items come out delicious, so you can't go wrong with anything you order. Margaritas are massive, and they do the job!! Service is friendly and attentive.

Vibrant Mexican restaurant with courteous staff and ready to serve cuisine. The restaurant is full of color and wonderful atmosphere. Parking is on the street and has ample seating arrangements inside. The food tastes good however felt lack of Mexican spices, the meat was dry. The drinks are really good. The price is very reasonable and they even have complimentary softy machine. They have cool decor and Mexican style hats for visitors to enjoy the Mexican vibe. Would definitely come back here.

I was there on Saturday 4/12/25, our waitress was Lexi. Not only was the food absolutely amazing, but so was the waitress. Her customer skills and knowledge of the menu was at a top-tier level. Not only did she engage with the customers, but she was also entertaining with a Quick wit and great sense of humor. It was an absolute pleasure to be her customer.. We will definitely be going back and honestly hope to have her again.
