The best Mexican restaurant around. I've been going here for about 15 years and the food is always high quality with great salsa and low prices. The waiters and waitresses are excellent. They have great margaritas and tap beer in 16 or 22 oz. It's on my must go list at least every few weeks. Highly recommend it's a can't miss.

I came to eat dinner with my family of 6 on 9/22/2025 around 3:40pm and we decided to be seated outside and once we ordered our meal and were given our food, it kind of seemed like they had forgotten about us because they gave refills till the end of our meal and in the beginning they had only given us one bowl of chips to eat mind you it’s a family thing of 6, one bowl is not enough! and didn’t come back to refill it as well. Not only that but we found a broken fake nail in our food but the manager however took the plate without having a conversation with us and came out to say it was the kitchens fault. When we explained to the manager who was a white male, he laughed about the situation and didn’t seem interested when someone could have choked on it, when we had explained how dangerous it could have been but once again, we were meet with the careless unprofessional manager. He had left without understanding anything we’ve mentioned and to come back only to discount $10 dollars off and left without speaking a word to us while dropping off the check not once an apology. He did not come back after. The way the manager handled the situation was very unprofessional and as a manager you would want your customers to be treated with respect and understanding, especially in these circumstances. I would never intentionally mess up my order to complain and that’s what the manager assumed. Never coming back to this place again.

We came to this restaurant after a funeral with lots of people and the buffet was amazing! We had to come back to see if we remembered correctly. We did! The chips and salsa are excellent, the cheese enchilada was yummy and the shredded beef burrito was delicious. We decided to try the flan for dessert it was big enough for two to share. They have a brunch on Sunday’s from 9-2… hope to hit that next trip down.

Good food! We ordered takeout online and it was fast and efficient. The albondigas soup was excellent and the chicken fajitas were well seasoned and tender.

No greeting or smiles as we entered the restaurant. The server was rushing us and was all over the place. But he did his job. He didn't check on us as much as I thought he should, didn't clear our finished plates, so they piled up and sat as we enjoyed some girls' day out conversation. Being with my friends is what made the day. Not sure I will visit this location again. But I might give another chance , just because I understand how we all can have a bad day.

Awesome warm chips with salsa; great flight of margaritas; mahi mahi was very good. Good service; generous helpings. The churros with Carmel & a huge vanilla ice cream ball were great! We would return another time.
Kid-friendliness: We had a 2-year old who loved the chips/salsa; helped herself off mom's plate, & loved the vanilla ice cream.
