Incredibly disappointed with the service. We placed an order and completely dismissed my order when I picked it up and and got home the order was wrong and when we called the 2nd lady who originally took my order again dismissed what I was telling her and made it sound like it was my fault it even happened. They didnt offer to make it right or a refund. Weve been eating there for years with no complaints until now. Plenty of new Mexican restaurants opening close by that will appreciate our support.

The reason Im giving it a low rating in service is because if you ask for extra crackers they charge you extra, if you want to take your tea theyll charge you for the styrofoam cup depending on size, if you cant to take leftover food home theyll charge you for the carryout plate their food was ok atmosphere was ok too. The refrigerator by the counter was leaking. If a person in a wheelchair or using a walker not enough space between the counter and refrigerator to help them get to the bathroom

There a new girl not Mari or Norma and she looks like she mad when taking the orders. She wears an air pod and Apple Watch and constantly looking at her watch. Didnt t even bother to come check on us and just left food and left. Very unprofessional. Another thing that there one person at cashier and while she has to take orders we need to wait to be charged and there a line waiting to pay.

I ordered the fajita panchos and the meat was over cooked and very little seasoning. The dish was subpar. I still ate it as I was very hungry. My sister ordered a potato and egg taco and niece ordered cheese enchiladas. Their food looked delicious. They didnt have any complaints.

This place is a joke. The menudo was reused soup. I guess they ran out of the meat and boiled more tripea and threw it in there. When it got to my table, it stunk and the tripe was white. Clearly if u know cooking the tripe changes to a golden color when it is done. This one was super white and it stunk like when u start boiling tripe. Oh and the beans had a burnt smell like someone forgot about them and the bottom of pan burnt.

This place sucks. Literally taste the grease going down your throat.i guess everyone in the table should share and go half on 2 tortillas...I finished my tea in the 56 minute wait. The plate itself is bigger then the portion of food given to you. Asked for salsa and they brought back watered down tomato soup.....whats the hype about this place...Do Better!!

They served us oatmeal that was included with our meals. There was no parking available in close by so we parked down the road. The walk was nice because the area is covered with art.

This place was recommended by my aunt. We stopped by for lunch. The place was nice and clean. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Prices were definitely reasonable. I had a plate with 2 enchiladas, 1 taco, and 1 chalupa. My aunt had enchiladas with carne guisada. When we first sat down, they brought us a small bowl of soup and chips with salsa. The soup had a good taste, and the salsa was warm and not really spicy. It wasnt all that busy when we went, so everything came out pretty fast. I definitely plan on coming back.

Super long wait for food. Took an hour and fifteen minutes to get it. Was cold when finally got there. The weines en salsa were extra cooked and died. The bacon was hard, overcooked and cold. The third order of tacos had cold, tasteless meat. Personally will never go again. I would understand if it was packed but several customers came after us and left and we were still there waiting. Very disappointed.

Really liked this place. We were sat down quickly and asked for our beverage requests. After returning with our drinks the waitress let us know that they were short-staffed 4 people. She took our orders promptly and returned with chips and salsa. Food took a little while, (almost 30 minutes) but it was worth the wait. It was also almost noon time, so I give them credit for being short-staffed and at 85-90% capacity. I believe out of 20 tables there were about 4-5 tables available. Food was hot and tasty. We ordered Mexican style breakfasts and eggs were great whether they were scrambled or over easy. Not overcooked or bland. Tortillas de harina were perfect! Perfect size, not burned, not plasticky, not tough, not thick, not raw. They were very airy, hot and big! Chips could have been a little bit better, they seemed slightly stale, but still ok. Salsa for the chips was good, and salsa for huevos rancheros could use a little less water, in my humble opinion. Lemonade I believe was agua fresca; didnt taste like minute maid or syrup, didnt ask because waitress was busy, busy. the kids also appreciated that they got extra large cups for their lemonade, maybe 36oz cups. So happy that we tried this place. We will definitely be returning.

First time eating here as I was invited for lunch. Loved at how close it was to work but I cant say the same about the dish I got which happened to be a special. By no means am I trying to bash this place just giving my honest review 1. The restaurant wasnt that packed and it took quite a while to get our order 2. my dish which was Carne guisada just had no flavor whatsoever taste was so bland. I was hungry so I ate it. Flour tortillas were warm but kind of got hard when they got cold. I dont think Ill be coming back again
