Absolutely love this place!!! We came tonight for supper and they didn’t disappoint. Food is awesome and my husband and I both commented on how fresh everything is (even the chips and salsa) You can never go wrong here. Be sure to ask for Dennis he’s super and has a wonderful welcoming smile!

Won’t be back to this location the waitress Iris was horrible, food was not good or even hot, she act like she had an attitude and didn’t want to serve my family ????

Worst experience ever, slow service, no drink refills, portion size inadequate and many other issues. Spoke to person in charge and they weren’t concerned if we return again or not - family group party of EIGHT @ Phenix City on Stadium

I always go for the same thing but I can’t help it I love it. Whether I eat there or order to go I never get a bad meal! I have given up on the other location a long time ago because they went down hill but this location has been A1 everytime I’ve gone!

Taco Tuesday is always popular.I had the Chicken Bowl. It was excellent, the kids had crunchy tacos. Their food is so good. The menu is quite extensive, so much to choose from, lots of variety!

I will not be returning here because I feel like I got screwed over when I went there last night. Wednesday is margarita night so I went here and ordered two drinks, one of them Texas-style. I did not find out until I went to pay that Texas margaritas are not part of the margarita special as this is not communicated anywhere on their menu or Facebook page, and my bill was over $8 more than I anticipated. I asked them about this at checkout and basically got a "deal with it" response.If you come in by yourself you will not be treated like a priority, parties of two or more will get service more than you. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants to choose from in the area, and I won't be returning to this one because of disingenuous advertising and honestly subpar food. This is the only Mexican place I've been where the salsa tastes like marinara sauce.
