This place reminded me to back home Colombia the atmosphere was exactly what a hungry human wants for its breakfast, the service was outstanding for not saying more and OMG! The food was out of this world, I definitely ask a lot when to breakfast it comes, and this restaurant deserves a 10 out of 5. I hope everyone can enjoy breakfast as much as I did here. Thank you to everyone who made my experience stupendous today. God bless you and keep the great job up!

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. I know the lady who owns spicy biting Kyle and when I found out that she was related to the people who own this location in San Marcos, I had to go try the food. I was not disappointed. Amazing food Kid-friendliness: Theyre very peaceful and calm environment, but at the same time they understand that people have families, families or children. Children sometimes can be loud and rambunctious so theyre very easy going group of people Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp

Best Mexican food in San Marcos, the queso is always a must. Atmosphere would be higher if they had more seating and the heater on during the winter. Service is either one star or five no in between depending on your waiter. Today they seemed annoyed we were there, last time it was like we were long lost friends. And just a heads up for all - they now charge 50 cents for to go containers, which is something I never heard any place doing before.

My first time....greeted with a warm and friendly smile (Emily). Emily represents awesome customer service. She was very patient and would be the reason Id do a return visit. I ordered the sourcream enchiladas with fajita chicken, and received shredded chicken with some sort of yellow cheese sauce. I didnt pay attention to that whilst I was in the restaurant, however I blame myself because the excellent customer service was unexpected and caused a slight distraction. Tips: Quality control checks before dispatching the food.

This used to be one of my favorite spots to go to in the morning for breakfast, but as of lately I d rather go anywhere else. It s been 2 days in a row I spend over $50 on tacos and they get my order wrong and that s fine but when I tried to tell the lady that works the register she wants to argue with me about it or try and say they didn t charge me for whatever when it s clearly shown on my receipt that I paid for it. Over all just not worth it. Expecting to pay for what I order then having to argue with someone, and get attitude for their mistake. She didn t even want to honor it had to hold up my receipt and point to it for them correct their mistake, and then just get a halfass whatever was missing given to me in a bowl. So over this place. Won t be going here for a while. Needs new employees or something because that s ridiculous.

Best Mexican food that Ive had since I have been in this area. Thats saying a lot because theres a lot of good mex food around here. But, the price, the quantity, and the quality of this food are by far the best Ive been able to find. The service is great, and the atmosphere is nice. I am a little bit conflicted about telling you this because its already getting around, and theyre getting busier and busier. Its a place that I definitely think you will like, its not a fancy place, so dont get all dressed up, but its very clean and comfortable. Its just a great place to have a casual meal that wont break you it fills you up, and its delicious !
