Oh yeah, the floors are disgusting sticky. The food is lukewarm and bad quality. The only good experience about eating there is the staff are nice. Don't waste your money. High prices for low grade food.

I placed an order via doordash. Food was good, Carne asada was fresh. However I didn't receive salsa with my tacos. Therefore, I couldn't enjoy my food. I thought salsa was standard with tacos.

I tried the Fisherman burrito. It was delicious! The menudo is also one of the best around.

When your first impression of a restaurant is how sticky the floors are that's never a good sign. Ate outside and ordered the Enchiladas Supremas, which are described as two cheese enchiladas topped with green chile strips, Spanish sauce and more cheese. There were literally two small strips of green chiles and if there was Spanish sauce I couldn't taste it. If you don't mind a mouthful of bland cheese then these are for you! Also took awhile for anyone to notice we were standing ready to order but once they finally did they were attentive.

I walked into this restaurant to get some lunch as I was running some errands in the area. I ordered the first veg things I saw on their menu: a burrito and a quesadilla along with extra rice and beans. I ordered takeout and got the food pretty quickly. I was super disappointed to find a soggy mess in the name of a burrito. The cheese in the quesadilla tasted old too.

DONT get the shrimp cocktail!! It was terrible!! You could tell it was just thrown together with minimal fixings like avacado, cucumbers, onions. Barely had any shrimp and it was hot. It’s not supposed to be hot!! Definitely will not be buying that item again. Employees were nice.

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. Great portions and quality for the prices. Some outdoor seating is available, but limited. Masks are not required for dine-in once seated, tables are spread out to respect social distance guidelines. Take out options are also available for those not comfortable dining in yet. Love this place.

Got the chicken burrito asado. It's very tasty with a slight kick. It's a big portion too so I was only able to eat half and take the leftover home. My bf got the chile relleno and he said it was good too.

Heard many good things about this restaurant, so I went to check it out.
But it wasn't as good as everyone said.
First off I went between the lunch and dinner hours, so it wasn't busy, 2 other tables besides myself and one of those already had food. The waitress was slow to get me water and take my order. Being it was afternoon snack time I got the sampler appitizer and refried beans (frijoles).
The ap had chicken wing drumettes, both chicken and beef taquitos, quesadillas, smashed avocados (aguacate) and sour cream. Very tasty. But the best thing was the frijoles. Made with pinto beans, which
