If you like Mexican food, you won’t want to eat here, even if desperate. Their salsas are basic and off flavor. The refried beans must be out of a can, and the chips are tasteless. What’s sad is that it’s been this way for over a decade. Nobody seems to care or know how to prepare good Mexican food. Better options down the road.

I went in and ordered, but customers who arrived after me got their food first. The server checked on their tables twice, but never once came to check on mine. When I finished eating, it took a long time just to get my check — I had to go up to the cashier myself while the others who arrived later were already done and paid. When I asked, the staff only said bigger groups get priority. On top of that, the food wasn’t very good and lacked authentic flavor. Overall, disappointing experience, and I won’t be returning.

Paid 18.00 for 1 bean, rice and cheese burrito. Never again! They are way to expensive.

We went on a very busy night. Start of a Holiday weekend. The staff seemed to handle the crowd well. Our servers did a fine job. I had a shrimp meal. It was edible. That’s about it. Since I hadn’t eaten all day it was eaten. However.. the shrimp were so over cooked they were unrecognizable! The tails were the only thing that identified them. Terrible chewy bites. Ok. I did eat it. First time there. Never again. The other three in our party did not complain.

I don't know how this place works but everytime we need a refill or something , we have to call our server in the other room where the staffs were just there chit chatting while customers were in the same room with us. mind you , we were only 5 customers at that time.
The food is typical nothing really special and so is the ambiance.
Will we comeback here in the future if we happen to visit the area, i don't think so.

Stopped by to order a couple chimichangas for takeout - the tables were mostly full. The waitress was super friendly and told me about 20 minutes. My order was ready by the time I made it to the Big Trees market and back. The food was great - spot on for Mexican comfort food
