This beloved restaurant masterfully blends classic Mexican dishes with the bold, hearty spirit of Tex-Mex cuisine, creating a menu that is both comforting and exciting.

The presentation here is a feast for the eyes as well, with dishes like the perfectly sculpted rice pyramid capturing playful attention and building anticipation for each bite.

The menu is extensive and thoughtfully crafted, spotlighting standout favorites like the rich, velvety Side of Queso and the sizzling Beef Fajitas, which sizzle with juicy, charred perfection, releasing mouthwatering aromas that tease the senses. The Chimichanga accompanied by a Cheese Enchilada offers a crispy yet cheesy indulgence, while the Pollo Con Queso dazzles with grilled chicken smothered in freshly diced pico de gallo and signature chile con queso, topped with melted cheese and creamy avocado slices—a harmonious dance of textures and flavors.

For those seeking an adventurous bite, the Marisco Bowl delivers a fresh bounty of shrimp and fish, while the Chicken Taquitos offer a crispy, seasoned crunch that pairs perfectly with their flavorful accompaniments. The Tortilla Soup and Pastor Bowl bring warmth and depth, embracing you with rich savory notes that feel like a comforting hug after a long day.

Don’t miss the inventive appetizers like Southwest Egg Rolls packed with shredded chicken, roasted corn, spinach, black beans, and bell peppers — a fusion bite that bursts with zest and color, paired masterfully with the exclusive GMK Amazon sauce. And for those with a sweet tooth, the little-known touch of allowing guests to grab an ice cream cone before they leave is a charming detail that leaves a lasting smile.

Beverage enthusiasts will appreciate the Watermelon Margarita, a refreshingly sweet and tangy concoction that perfectly balances the savory richness of your meal.

    First time here, the food was Great, the portion sizes were amazing. But the service was perfection! We felt welcomed and at home. Ally was our server and Anny B. was the BEST management we've come across! We will definitely be back!

    “A great place with Tex-Mex flavor, I was surprised by the shirt—it really had a strong Mexican identity. The place is very pleasant, and the menu has a wide variety of options. A very nice touch is that you can grab an ice cream cone before you leave. Go check it out—great spot!”

    Our waitress Bailey ( Conroe location) went up over and beyond, she gave us tons of choices, witty and funny! She brought extra sauces for us to try and was very knowledgeable about the recipes and was very aware of my dietary needs and delivered! If you go in ask for her!

    It’s a great spot to just chill. Food is good not too pricey. Great staff and take care of you! My server was Caitlyn. She was amazing made sure my order was right, checked in frequently and made sure cup was filled and nothing was needed. Definitely will come only because the server and the service that was provided! Got to be on my iPad and not feel rushed so definitely definitely recommend this spot to anyone in the area! Free ice cream too can’t beat that!!

    Super nice place and it’s very decorated. I would say it’s nice for fancy dining but we came here pretty casually. The service is reallyyyyyy nice. The food is pretty okay I mean nothing to complain about. The drinks are VERY good. The music is also very enjoyable!!
