Cool place. Our server would disappear and we'd have to ask other servers for things like refills on waters and silverware. The service at this location has gotten really bad recently.

I do not recommend eating here ❌ !!We started off with chips and salsa, but sadly our chips were stale and our salsa tasted like pasta sauce. We ordered guacamole but never received it until we got the rest of our food, but the guacamole was browned and unappetizing.My friend ordered a beef taco and to our surprise it was a deep fried beef patty. I ordered a chicken enchilada and to my surprise found a little bone inside it made me immediately lose my appetite. Our waitress “Bella” and was super rude towards us, from rolling her eyes at us, and making each meal seem unappealing. She described the tacos on the menu as “deep fried meat with a shell or tortilla.” The first time she smiled at us was when she brought us our check If you are going looking for good Mexican food, or a nice place to dine, I recommend looking else where. ❌❌❌

To start, when the server brought the complimentary chips and salsa, we requested an order of bean dip. After a while, the server returned with...more salsa! Since dinner was going to be served shortly, we said to forget the bean dip.I had ordered one of their more expensive menu items, the steak fajitas. When it arrived, it only had two tortillas, and two small (maybe a tablespoon each) dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Now, every other Mexican food establishment that I have visited has provided at least three tortillas and significantly more sour cream and guacamole with the meat and veggies of the fajitas.I asked the server for another tortilla and a little more sour cream and guacamole. After a wait (my wife finished her meal in the meantime), the server arrived with two bowls, containing about 2-3 tablespoons of guacamole and the same of sour cream.Then came the bill. They charged us an additional $3.45 for the guac and sour cream ($0.95 for the sour cream and $2.50 for the guac)! Plus, there was a separate tip line for "An additional $2.00 for the cooks". The cooks did not get a tip and the tip of the server was reduced by the amount of the upcharge for guac and sour cream. I left a note on the receipt outlining why.

I can definitely see why this place is so heavily recommended! Amazing flavors and quality food, with many vegetarian options. The margaritas were pretty standard, but the food was the real star of the show. The table salsa was phenomenal, and how so much flavor without being overly spicy. The combination plate is a great deal! I would definitely recommend this location over the downtown one, as the other location has a VERY long wait.
My first time at this location. Met a friend from Wisconsin who was visiting family in Maricopa. The food was delicious! I ordered the grilled fish tacos and a Hola Hemp tamale. She ordered the flautos. I took some home and it was just as good the next day. Highly recommend. Very attentive staff too.

A disappointing experience. The food was OK although pretty standard fare, but mainly we really felt rushed like they were in a big hurry to turn the tables.
