Albondigas soup is good, but service, not so much. The last three times we've been here service has been sub par. Being an F&B supervisor/ lead server, these women need to be retrained and show that they enjoy where they work and not make the guests feel like they are bothering the server. With a positive, friendly attitude, they will more likely see an increase in tips.

Food was okay. For some reason, our order was ready in just 5 minutes, and the plates were extremely hot—which to me suggests they had just been reheated. Not impressed by that.
When the server brought the food, he had to reach over me and my mom to serve the third person at our table. He was carrying three large, hot plates at once and did this twice. That was uncomfortable and unprofessional.

I grew up within walking distance and have been coming here for decades. It is always wonderful when I get a chance to stop by and grab a bite to eat. Their queso fundido, la pachanga, and their soups are all amazing. Margaritas and tacos are great, too. Be sure to check out their specials on the sandwich board in front of the host stand before you get seated. Their patio has heaters, and it's nice to sit outside and people watch. Highly recommend!
