One of the worst meals I've ever had in my entire life. Every food product was either average or below-average (and straight out of the freezer) with no taste and certainly no love . Chicken and steak tasted identical...ie bland.
Atmosphere? No music. System was broke said the waitress.

There is no reason to eat here. None.

Got there no one else on there. Server came right over brought water and chips. Came to take our order we were not ready ask her to come back. We waited ten minutes for her to come back in this time a girl came in needed to be trained. I could see her back talking finally got her attention she says I'll be there. Another 5 minutes we wait while she talks. She take our order I ask for water never comes back .I go to get it myself. Bring food ask do we need any thing I say salt never comes back we get it off another table. Ask for box after getting her attention never brings it till I ask two more times the food was very good but service was not.

We sat there for nearly an hour before our food came out. There wasn't any music playing, so it was awkwardly silent. The food wasn't anything special. Felt heavy and the meat was dry. Will not be going back again.

For 4 people they served the smallest basket of chips and 1 very small bowl of salsa. We had to keep requesting chips and salsa. The food was average. This was the bestfood and service before the change of ownership. We won’t be returning!

We had excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere and excellent prices. Went for my Mom and Dad's 61st anniversary. This is their favorite Mexican food place. And I can see why.

We have dined here for many years off and on, even before they moved to this location. We have dined in mostly with occasional take out. We have never had a bad experience. Sometimes they get really busy, but food and service is always great. Their salsa is my favorite salsa. Keep up the good work.

Parking: There are a few popular restaurants in the same area. So it can be a challenge. I have always found a spot though.

We really enjoyed the food. Fresh made little bit of wait but time for conversation. They need more help but our server did a great job.
