Great service and they happily made my order the way I asked. I would definitely go again when I am in town.

Food was nothing special. Waitress seemed like she would rather be anywhere but at work. Spent more time sitting in a booth on her phone than anything. Never came back after someone else delivered our food to see if everything was alright or if we needed anything else. We were not impressed and will not be back!

Fight in parking lot. Server was more worried about the table full of guys than our table. Food wasn't good. Way over priced..

Good service. They did not skimp on the serving size or amount of meat in the dishes. The guacamole was flavorful and above average. Quality and taste of the items we had was typical of many family run Mexican restaurants. No complaints.

Food is real good. margaritas were OK. Wait staff could do a little better. They act distant Like they don't want you to be there. Maybe needs to be a little more friendly other than that OK place. Like I said food is good came out real fast

Don't go for the atmosphere, Go for the food. It is usually pretty busy. There are lots of TV's, like it's a sports bar. So there's no ambiance. But the food is great. And that's really the point.

I had to come back and edit my review, due to consistently being overcharged at this restaurant lately. I'm a regular, usually ordering to go. I have a large family of seven, and we order dinner here at least 4 times a month and dine in twice a month for lunch. I've had trouble with the restaurant not honoring their "specials". Today, we ate in and were overcharged by $20. My husband didn't notice it until he looked at the bank statement. Due to these issues we will be finding a new Mexican place. I can understand an occasional mistake, but it has become the norm. Our to-go orders are usually missing

I thought it was overall a really great experience. The food was delicious, the wait time was minimal, the staff was very friendly and professional, and the prices I felt were pretty reasonable for the amount and quality fo food they brought out.
The atmosphere is also pretty comfortable. It's definitely a Tex-Mex restaurant, but I felt like they preserved the Hispanic culture very well while catering to the American patrons.

Better food! Everything tasted the same! Chili rellenos was soggy. The chalupa wasn’t; just a soggy small soggy tortilla disc under beans and quac. Ick! You would think they would take more pride in their culinary skills. Will not go back!

This was our first time eating here and the food was absolutely amazing!! Our waiter was very attentive and freshened our chips and refilled our drinks as needed. We can’t wait to come back when we are in town again. This place is a must!
