Not a good experience.Queso took 15min to come out, and it wasn’t much more than something store bought.For kids, do not get the pizza; one small slice with a couple fries for $5.90 and ketchup was $1.25!Fajitas were bland and only seasoned with Lowry’s.Positives were their chips are good, and the Baja bowl.There are much better Mexican options elsewhere.

This place has great food. The salsa is superior and the chips were fresh and hot. My Bahama mama was perfect! The street tacos and seafood quesadilla were also delicious. Our server was very kind. The only complaint was I had to grab our own napkins and silverware but it happens.We’ll be back!

This is my favorite mexican restaurant in the area. Service is always quick and friendly and by far the best Mexican Restaurant style food in the area.

Sunday lunch. Service started off a bit dicey, very big place with only 1 waiter. He warmed up to us though. Lunch was outstanding! Biggest burrito I even seen. My wife said it was very tasty. My huevos was also quite tasty and just the right kick. Texas margarita was also on point. Great lunch.

I would not recommend this place until the health department visits and inspects them as of 12/16/2023. Please take this review seriously as I previously worked for a health department and they would be closed or at least receive a critical violation based on our recent experience. A party of 15 people, mainly involving kids 6 and under was served completely raw chicken on Saturday. Sadly the food presented well so children did consume some of the food until one toddler brought it to their parents attention, and there were symptoms of poisoning after leaving the restaurant. Not only is this cross contamination spreading salmonella, this is poisoning patrons, and potentially life threatening for the children that I know for sure have a weakened immune system. Poison control, the children's hospital are also involved with monitoring the kids and adults, and the health department will be contacted first thing Monday.Many other things occurred, including a 2 hour wait for food - just to be served raw food, but this is the most significant matter.

We used to eat here a lot with friends and family. Used to love it but some things have definitely changed. Last few times we've been here, the service was slow and almost seemed like we were a bother to the staff. Today the queso was thick and barely warm. Food wasn't great. We thought it was just an off day but then we saw that we were overcharged for our food and they even charged us a processing fee before even seeing/asking if we were using a card. We kindly asked the server about the price, which is higher than we've been charged in the past for the same meals, to which he responded apathetically and didn't offer any answers or solutions. Sadly, I think this will be our last time.

Food was amazing and authentic. Our family are Mexican food snobs. The meal was full of flavor and in my case had my mouth on fire in the good way. (Buritto Macho is meant to be spicy)I'm impressed. First visit and will be back.

I made an order to go. They left off a $6 appetizer I paid for. The ground beef was flavorless and was oddly mushy. The quesadilla was soggy and not crisp.

The salsa, margaritas, and El pastor tacos were absolutely delicious! Awesome Mexican food!
