Used to be of decent quality prior to name/ownership change. Quality has dropped off significantly plus customer service has suffered. Do not recommend… more authentic Mexican restaurants to eat at.
The food was horrible! The waiter wasn't very nice. The service was all around horrible. Paid $85 and left the food on the table. Kids wouldn't even eat.
Dining room was virtually empty in the middle of lunch which should have been a warning. Chips were greasy and stuck together and salsa was mild and flavorless. Items on "vegetarian" menu included refried beans but it was not mentioned anywhere that they were made with animal fat. Manager was extremely rude and dismissive. Found hairs in my meal that I had just started and decided it would be safer and much more pleasant to eat elsewhere, which we did.
Food was great and so was the service. Emma was super friendly and checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We were in and out in I dwr and hour. Great job guys!!!!
This has to be the whitest Mexican restaurant I have ever ate at , service was amazing but the food had to come straight out of a can ,I mean everything from the sauce to the beans and rice , I am from southern CaliforniaI know and love Mexican food,this wasn't itI honestly don't believe I've ever had such flavorless beans and rice beforeSpice it up people,geesh
Cheese dip, salsa and chips were good.Ordered the supreme burrito and they gave me the lunch special. Didn't want the lunch special. Wanted the big one for leftovers. Wife got a combo meal and the tortilla for the enchillada was was hard. Not sure if it was stale or what. At this point we did not want to discuss it with them. We both agreed....Never Again. Last time we ate there it wasn't good, so we gave them a second chance and now we know.
This was our goto mexican restaurant for years. They changed the name and the prices shot through the roof. Lost some customers here.
Second time here in two and a half years and today was a much better experience since the first visit back when it was under a different name in 2020. The food was fresh, served quickly and the chips were just right (not too salty or oily but not dry and bland either). The picante salsa that we asked for was unusually tiny in size and more of a sauce than a salsa. We were also unaware there would be a $2.00 charge when we asked for a spicier salsa but overall, no valid complaints worth making. Only items tried today were: tamale, beef burrito, and tacos. The tacos are not like street tacos in Mexico but they did have cabbage rather than chopped iceberg lettuce like many American restaurants prepare. The lunch prices were reasonable ($9 each) and the portions were fair for the price. Cholula is available upon request, Tapatio is not and we forgot to ask for Valentina's or Yucateco. Will certainly try their take out options in the future or dine in for dinner.
Be sure to ask about pricing BEFORE ordering. Up charges added without knowledge at time of payment. Happy Hour isn’t true with other specials. These things change on a whim at the restaurant.
Becca was the best server ever!! Loved her!

My wife ordered the chicken quesadilla lunch combo and it came out soaking wet. You could pick the quesadilla up and the water drip off of it. My wife decided to get a replacement steak quesadilla instead. When we received the bill we noticed that they charged us for the chicken quesadilla combo plus the steak quesadilla plus the rice and beans. We got the manager and she argued with us about the issue. She had a very rude and horrible attitude when she came to help us. Like no we are not paying for your mistake and then also going to pay for the rice and beans when it comes with the combo. Then the couple we were eating with used their debit card to pay for their food. The waiter charged them an automatic tip of $16 they found this out when they got their card and receipt back from the waiter. They told them they were going to pay cash for the tip. The manager said it was a law and was not going to be re-payed the tip.
Great staff from the waitress to the kitchen staff, bus boys and manager. Relaxed atmosphere and great food. Would definitely recommend.
The Taco Salad is amazingly good. Best customer service. Friendly wait staff and the manager is great!
Wonderful food and friendly service!
Rebekah was our server, she is super friendly and very informative, I was not sure what the meal was called that my daughter and I had ordered from a different Mexican restaurant, I described it to Rebekah she knew exactly what I was talking about. The food was super super yummy!!Thank you Rebekah and staff. We will be back for sure!!!
