The food was your average mexican food. Tasty but nothing special. The service was the issue. Kind of polite upon entering, but the waiter was not polite, almost dismissive as was the cashier when we left. There's lots of places to go. We won't be back.

This place is awesome from the drinks to the food. The bartenders Luis Miguel and Lizbeth are one of a kind. They go the extra mile for the customer. I love fresh squeezed fruits and they both do it just to please the customer. Owner please provide the right tools to make their jobs easier and recognize them too. You don"t find this kind of service on every corner.

The food here is fantastic, but ordering over the phone feels like a surprise speed round on a game show. The lady taking phone orders seems permanently stuck in
"hurry up" mode, gets annoyed when you're still ordering and has listening skills that occasionally take a vacation. If she writes down your order incorrectly and you politely point it out, somehow you become the problem. It's honestly impressive.
Pro tip: ALWAYS check your food before leaving with a pickup order. Otherwise, you may find yourself entering a debate where the order-taker is the judge, jury, and undefeated champion of being right.
Despite the phone-ordering Olympics, the food is genuinely great-which is the only reason I keep coming back.
Let’s work on getting an order online option so we don’t have to inconvenient phone help 🫠

Visited this restaurant recently and was fairly satisfied with the overall experience. The service was great. The interior is warm and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly and efficient. We were greeted and seated promptly, and the food was served quickly. The food is my only complaint. While it was hot, the item I had was full of onions and peppers and very little chicken. The vegetables had a lot of moisture and caused the flour shells to be soggy. I feel like they should have been cooked longer, and there should have been more meat. The rice was dry, and the medium-sized plate was half full of shredded lettuce and a few pieces of diced tomatoes. The lettuce came across as simply a way to fill the plate. The dining room was clean and pleasant. Parking was a breeze in the free parking lot. I will visit again and see if the food is better.

As regulars, we always look forward to our visits here. From the moment we walk in, it feels like coming home. The staff makes everyone feel like family, and it’s always such a warm, welcoming atmosphere—especially for the kids. They know their names, order, and ask about things going on in school. The food is consistently amazing, with something for everyone, and the service is top-notch. Anytime we have family in from out of town, we always have dinner here. We know we will be well taken care of, even with a large group.
