Came in for lunch and got the Wednesday Carnitas special,service was good and restaurant was clean. I haven't been here since they changed their name.

Such a fun restaurant! It absolutely huge inside. We went for Taco tuesday and the tacos were incredible. Owner is nice and was making sure everyone was good at the table. Definitely will be back.

I love this place, and have been going off and on since we moved to the area 5 years ago. My wife has even left a positive review after past visits because their food was good. However, the last couple of times we've gone, we've been very disappointed. We placed a to-go order for two burritos, one BRC and one Carne Asada, We were told the wait would be 20 mins, which is fine. We show up and they said they had a catering order and we had to wait longer (also fine since by that time it had already been 20 mins, and we didn't have to actually wait long). I don't know what happened this time but the entire Carne Asada burrito was all gristle and fat, as if it was scrap trimmings. I truly hope this wasn't the case. We may be back, but we are leery now as to the quality of meat this restaurant is using. We didn't mind paying for good food, but not $40 for low quality meat.

It’s not bad, really it isn’t but I would recommend other restaurants if you’re searching for authentic Mexican food. Got the Javier’s chicken and was massively disappointed with what tastes of freezer burned/dry chicken that made me feel sick almost immediately. The customer service was decently well for a Friday afternoon, it’s just the food that really diminishes this place. I informed the waitress that I did not enjoy the dish and for a brisk “okay” and that was all. I would have massively preferred a refund for the dish I paid full price for and did not consume, though it was never offered. Just took the chicken home for my dogs, someone may as well eat it.

Came here with a small group friends and both service, food wise it was awesome! If you love margaritas, I suggest getting the flight! Comes as a flight with 5 different flavors and shareable. The chicken fajitas was good but a bit dry. Probably caused it's served to you steaming on a hot plate. lol. If your in the area, check this place out. Big dinning room area for small or large group parties and also a separate bar area room with tv's to watch sports!

If you’re looking for a place for good Mexican food with plenty of space to have a gathering then you’ve just found it. We ordered a couple of items starting with the sampler which had a little bit of everything for everyone to taste. We all enjoyed it and we would definitely get it again next time we’re here. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas which were really good and will get them again on my next trip back. We also ordered the Margarita Flight which came out looking great and had everyone happy. Service was really good and attentive. So if you’re in the mood for Mexican food with great service then check this place out. I almost forgot to mention that they have a separate bar area where you can catch the games with happy hour specials. And there you go!

What is the first thing that tips you off to a bad Mexican restaurant? Well if they have chips and salsa, it’s the salsa. And if the salsa tastes like spaghetti sauce I’m done. But when the chips are equally as off-putting, THAT is something special. Here comes the food….i ordered the pick 3 with a cheese enchilada, shrimp enchilada and a beef taquito. Shrimp enchilada had a red sauce and was filled with corn mushrooms and shrimp (not great) the cheese enchilada was greasy and the beef taquito was bland. I’m sorry and maybe I was just put off from the beginning but I won’t be coming back. I try to give establishments in Lake Elsinore a chance but MAN it’s hard find good food here. Mexican restaurants are a PENNY a dozen here in LA….is there no need to be GOOD anymore???

Hostess was great, but after that everything went downhill. Our waitress didn’t even introduce herself. She brought us our food and didn’t bother to mention that the plate was really hot. I ordered the carne asada plate. On their menu description, it said thin pieces of carne asada. When I saw the plate, it was everything but thin slices. The meat that was served on my plate literally had blood on top of it. Needless to say, I didn’t eat the food.

My husband tried his shrimp enchiladas, and he said they were nasty too. We asked for the check and left the place. I just wonder if the owner tries the food he sells.

I would come back for Francis—excellent customer service!! Thank you for your service.
