Mediocre food and slow service. Was there with a large party that reserved and paid a deposit beforehand but still had to flag down a waiter for drinks. And they didn't have enough tables ready for the amount of people reserved for. Even when I go and it's just the 3 in my little family, we have slow service.

This is not the easiest review I’ve ever posted because we’ve been patronizing this establishment since 2021 and always have spot on great food and service. It’s painful to write an honest critique but here I go, as gently as I can. Something has changed? The chef’s are off their game. It’s not up to the servers (entirely) to be sure food comes to the table hot so if I hazard a guess it’s in the kitchen where the not so good changes are taking place. I failed to get photos of the bad experience but ordered enchiladas suizas and the first bite was cold chicken on the inside! I’ve had them dozens of times and never before were they cold so we sent them back and the replacement dish had been placed beneath fire because when it came back to me the guacamole and sour cream were burned on top and that didn’t sit well so I didn’t eat that visit. They removed the dish from the bill but it left me with a negative experience. The couple at the table behind us sent their French fries back and we happened to be paying our bills at the same time. They remarked how something to them has changed too. They have been coming here as a rule for many years more than us and he knows the proprietors but noticed he hasn’t seen him in a while. On Saturday when we went Julia ordered a double order of chicken taquitos with a side of beans. They turned out to be beef. She didn’t send them back. Steve ordered chorizo scrambled eggs and the chef over salted the dish. He also didn’t send it back. In our collective experience here the waiter has never apologized Ever. When there is something wrong with food the server should be the first to offer that then take the issue up in the kitchen later but this server seems to take it in stride and that never sits right with me. It makes for an awkward aire when we point out the cons. Let me say this is a new development with this restaurant. As I stated we have always been very satisfied with all of it but we will be taking a break perhaps for a spell. Maybe the chef is new? Not sure what’s going on. The rest of the staff is always very friendly even though busy. No complaints there. The table tops are sticky to the touch, the way wood acts after it’s been sealed and cleaned for years it begins to get a gummy feeling and possibly the place could use some updating?

Every time my wife and I eat here or get take out, the food is amazing and the staff is always the same. They are always friendly and never blink an eye, always with great smiles. I truly appreciate everyone that works here. Thank you

Wonderful food and amazing customer service and our waiter named Javier Perez was a wonderful help and caring for the customers and would bring food and drinks quickly
