First time I went here thought it was great. Gradually has gotten worse with each visit. Rice is hard sometimes, food isnt warm at all. None of the employees know how to make a margarita on the rocks regular nor strawberry thinking one or the other would b better. Margaritas are all mix dont try em u would be ok getting a bottle beer. I have sent the margaritas back the last 3 times dunno y I kept goin back thinking it would change & get better,wrong nope. Servers looked like sisters really young last visit too busy being on stage singing there horrible karaoke that would keep screeching high pitch noises in your ears. Maybe if u happen to speak Spanish they would happen to pay attention to ya more. I wont be back

Very disappointed, my family and I have frequented this place for 7 years, my husband went yesterday with his partner and they were ignored, three employees, for giving priority to the Americans...total disappointment. Its one thing to be busy and another totally different to choose to ignore them, they didnt even give them a menu or anything... thats a terrible thing.

It was my first time here and I told that to the waiter. I asked from a drink I didn t like it and I told them. I was still charged for it, I asked to speak to the owner as it was her call and she didn t want to come talk to me. The food was not good at all the meat tasted bad like it s been sitting there and it was just heated up fast because my food was cold. It was just terrible. Never again I do not recommend

Strangely enough, I saw this place on Pokemon Go. The wife and I were nearby and I had a few minutes to play and I saw it there. We had to go to another destination first for fuel and I mentioned it to her and we went back and tried it out. Im a side note: I am a Gringo married to a Mexicana that is very picky about Mexican Restaurants. We both loved this place. She has even mentioned how much she loves it around 4 times in the week after. When I love it and she does as well, that means we will be back. You get plenty of chips and good salsas to start. Service was fast and attentive. Food was hot, fresh and tasty. I should have gone there today again. For sure next weekend.

Well this goes to the owner. I dont understand why he puts the phone number if hes not going to answer it. What interest does one have in calling if you dont answer, the truth is that it hurts that the food is good but the service is terrible.

Came here for Mother s Day to celebrate. There was no staff to seat us. When we did sit down staff was slow to greet us. Staff started decorating for Mother s Day and disregarded our table for my mother s special day. There were only 2 other tables seated and service wasn t attentive. This place used to be good but has gone downhill with quality of food and food portions.

Place good to eat, we ordered a Guacamole but had too much onions. Salsas are good. Micheladas are good. Friday night is karaoke nights. No homemade tortillas. Our order was Parillada, Chicken flautas, Guacamole, 1 margarita, 1 michelada, 1 Agua de orchata, 1 taco plate and our total was $ 77.80 is not that bad.

Update... this is now the place I get takeout from, more than any other place! Wish I spoke more Spanish, would probably make ordering on the phone easier, but the food is always so good!! I live about a block from this place, and all I can say is, I wish I had stopped in years before I finally did! Food is wonderful, great prices, and good service. My only warning is to wear ear plugs on karaoke nights!!!

Always a friendly staff and decent food. Not everything on the menu is delicious but most things Ive tried are pretty good. Their queso is incredibly bland and the salsa for chips n salsa could come in a better presentation than just an empty plate and salsa in a ketchup bottle. Will return. Cheap for kids to eat here.

Yum! We just moved to the area and are trying out different places. This one is kind of a hole in the wall - I have driven passed it a few times before it caught my eye. We finally saw it and checked it out, and it was SO GOOD!!! Everything was delicious. Service was very fast and almost entirely accurate. My sister claims all of the salsas (and guac ) were too spicy but I LOVED all of them. Flavorful and delicious!! I want to note that with the chimichanga plate that I got and the fajita plate my husband ordered - each came with a big scoop of sour cream and guac. So many places skimp on these and I usually have to ask for extra (or steal from his plate !!) But not here. 100% will be going back

Had came here before and place was great Came back today after so long and it was just bad.. okay food was alright but the service oh lord. For starters we came in and the lady was picking up chairs I asked if they were closed and she said no (well then that s odd) so we sat and started good but unfortunately the girl only came to get our full order, to drop it off and to take the tab. We needed refills napkins limes tortillas and an extra silverware and never got none of the above she was too busy with a guy over at a single booth and over with the guys at the bar Which let me tell you they were already drunk. She even made a comment about how one left with out paying and as for how long it took her to come check up on us it was so easy to walk out and doing the same. I over heard one of the guys complain about something and the way she responded back wether she knows him or not just did not look good for the restaurant. She was over there cursing at them and everything. Sorry but I will never go back.
