It is a relationship between the price and the food it offers. They have good flavor but they are not high quality ingredients. It is a place with mostly Mexican food. It tends to be crowded. But the tables vacate quickly. My parents like to go because you can order the meal straight or of the day. Which is usually ok. But personally I dont feel its worth it.

OMG. I hate that Im leaving a bad review here but were here to be honest about our experiences. The food here looked great when we received it but everything was cold. Both my brothers had to send their plates back because they said it was cold. We are not complainers at all. This was really difficult for us to even tell the waitress that the food was cold. When I tried my sopes. They too were cold. Its the 1st time ever eating here so maybe we went at the wrong time of day. But Im sorry to say. Ill pass this restaurant next time Im in town. Sorry

I may be white but I do speak and understand Spanish they got mad when I questioned the total on the bill and made them show me each price and add it up it was 40 cheaper than what they were trying to charge me.

Shocked at the new a la carte prices. It was $11.99 for chilaquiles without chicken. The portion was small. A fajita taco with avocado and mexican cheese was close to $15 00, for 1 taco! And it was a small portion. The iced tea was $3.50 for a small glass. I had the daily special of Chile relleno for $7.99, it did not have good seasoning, it was bland. The daily special $7.99 plus iced tea $3.50 was $11.50!The coffee is also $3.50, anyway you look at it you are going to pay at least $12.00 per person. I payed over $50.00 plus tip, ridiculous. I am not going back. If you know of a good and affordable Mexican restaurant please comment below.

Came again for lunch hour had the Encueradas they were delicious. Its off the Daily Specials menu. Its pretty quick service so my food was good recomend this dish. The restaurant is pretty quick service on my lunch hour. Good special menu of the day prices are reasonable for the amount served. Will come back again. My special was piratitas (chicken/fajita, bell pepper, onion, and white cheese) and served as a somewhat quesadilla taco form. With rice and beans for $7.99 gave u complintary sm. Bowl Fidel, and a sm. Piece of cake of the day. Soy dish and coke came out to $10.00 complete. So good food portion, price. Happy customer for the day.

I ordered the daily special for $7.99 that included chicken fajitas with bell peppers and onion, rice, beans, and lettuce on the side. It came with a little fideo soup and a little piece of dessert (cake or flan). The main dish was a good size and the staff was friendly. The problem was that the chicken was over loaded with pepper and it has a very strong chicken flavor and not in a good way. It tasted like when the dish is not fresh, like leftover chicken from a few days before. I thought it was just me so I asked my husband if he wanted some because it was too much for me and he said yes, but as he took the first bite, he said never-mind, it was not good. It s not that the chicken had gone bad, it just tasted old. Another friend from the table tried it and she agreed. We ended up telling the waitress to change my dish to flautas crunchy chicken tacos, and she did, and was nice about it too. By the time I got my food, I wasn t hungry anymore and was pretty grossed out. The. flautas were nice and crunchy, but the chicken filling was not the best either. I took them to go because I was embarrassed to leave the plate almost untouched. The soup also looked like it was AT LEAST a day old. I would not go again and wouldn t recommend. I d probably just go to La Vaquita next door. The limonade was also $4! I thought it was a but excessive and the price was not on the menu. They said, since the price of fruit fluctuated, they change the price of the drink as they saw fit, but did not include the price in the menu. Our table was a table of six and the menu does specify that they charge you a 15% tip automatically on your tab, but when you re paying, they also ask you if you want to add a tip and do not tell you that they have already included 15%, so I felt that was also a little bit sketchy. When we asked, didn t you already include the tip? They said, yes, but it s only 15%. The flour tortilla was very stiff and dry. Wheelchair accessibility: There was a ramp to go into the restaurant, between the parking lot and the front door of the restaurant and inside the chairs can be moved to allow for a wheelchair.

The place was great, I love the art they have inside. The atmosphere was great, too. The only problem was our waiter. For some odd reason, she did not hide what so ever that she wasnt happy she had us as a table. It was the first time weve ever been there too. She didnt smile, not once at us(we dont usually care for that sort of thing, but her face was just full of annoyance). With her other tables, she greeted them happily and smiled constantly, but when shed came back to us, it was back to being upset. We only had 3 interactions with her, when she took our drink order, when she took our order, and when she gave us our food. After that, when we would try to wave at her for something, she would just look away. Were not sure what her problem was with us, but I feel like our experience would have been so much better with a different waiter.

Waitresses are now friendly they interact with you well still some of them but good. Come on your own risk, enjoy. This is ok of a place for food. BUT they just got to expensive. For the prize Ive paid for four, I could feed 10 people with that price at home. Yes I know thats what they are call resturant! Oh, for the waitress if your not in there favorite list people, you get treated like a number. Only two waitresses are very nice. Good Luck!
