They have really good tacos! The waitress and waiters are very nice and the food portions are pretty nice too. Reasonably priced as well and the restaurant is always clean. Good atmosphere and a good place to eat!

Value for the money can't be beat! Strong Margarita's for $3.50 in 2024!?! Food is legit and average $12 a plate. Place looks like an old concert hall but ??‍♂️

We had not been in awhile, so dropped in last night. No problem being seated. The owner or manager is very quick to take drink orders and come back for food orders. He also has a great memory.We were in in the last booth on the left side. I noticed the wall was splattered with sauces of different shades indicating it had been that way for awile...When our food came and I unwrapped my fork, there was old food still stuck to one prong. When I asked for another fork, he never askedWhy....which was a little concerning.I have no complaints about the food. I loved my enchilada tripas and the portions are large. I do hope they will clean a little better..We will be back, but will give it awhile.

My girl is a well traveled foodie so when the B&B said this place was a hidden gem I think what they meant to say was it’s a cubic zirconia.Food: we ordered chicken fajitas plus guacamole to go with it and the chicken was mainly dark meat. It had a rubbery texture to it and veggies were overcooked.Service: wait staff apologized and offered to replace the item but at this point it was too late at night.Atmosphere: there was an obnoxious couple in the booth next to ours getting very intoxicated… my girl did not feel safe because the woman would stare at her and say rude remarks.Maybe try it again when it’s less crowded.

I hadn't eaten here in the last couple of years, but my husband and I ate the last week for lunch and we were very disappointed! The atmosphere is great, the service was good, but the food was horrlble!!! I had Chicken Nachos and my husband had Beef Taco Salad. The was definitely something wrong with our meats. The beef was flavorless and mushy like dog food. And the shredded chicken was flavorless and something was wrong with it! It was rubbery and wavy! I don't think it was real chicken! It was probably that new "biodegradble" junk they are trying to pass off as meat! It's probably not the owners fault, the probably are buying canned meat that is that fake meat! We definitely did not eat our food! We won't be back.

Food and service were absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, we were seated in a corner, and in a booth behind us a couple spent their entire meal, and ours loudly on facetime.
