Not bad service was a little slow. The flavor in the meal was definitely good. But I got more rice and beans than I did the actual entree.

The food here has always been good. First visit with the new name. They have a fajita burrito that is to almost die for. Very friendly staff. Will continue to eat here.

After coming to this place for almost 30 years, yes that's right 30 years the last few times the food was not good...changed all the time, not consistent most of the times but the final time turned me off totally. Had the same taco salad that I have every week....The lettuce was dripping in water, ran into the shell that became mush and had to look to find the shredded beef. Chips were horrible, not like used to be, not home made as in the past., thick and cold and sauce was tomato paste of soup out of a can. This place has really fallen down and was always a favorite place to take friends and family. No longer the same quality. Too bad and even with the owner now in presence not same food. Must have new cooks that she isn't training!

It's a Mexican restaurant but with a large selection of non Mexican entrees like a grilled ham and cheese or a patty melt. The food is fine but I've had better versions of everything from other restaurants and the prices are very steep compared to similar restaurants. For example, the small albondigas soup for nine dollars had one albondiga (meatball) in it. The Chili Colorado burrito didn't have much seasoning or flavor in the meat. The service is always friendly. Overall, the experience is meh but the bill is whoa!

This was our third time having Paula as our server and each experience is worse than the last , she’s incredibly rude and dismissive it’s clearly all about money for her. The only one who helped us properly, was the young lady with piercings, if not for her we would not be coming back.

Used to eat here very often when it was Carnitas Express. Have been here 2 times since business changed. Not at all what previous restaurant was. We won’t be returning.

I eat there frequently and wife and I order different things. Tonight she wasn't too hungry so she ordered a taco and rice and beans. Pretty simple. The waitress brought the taco but forgot the rice and beans. I told her and she promptly brought them out. Here's the problem. They charged me $10 for the rice and beans! Not only should it have come with the meal as requested but their cost couldn't have been more than ten cents! I realize that prices have gone up but this was a pure ripoff.

We have been coming here for years. There has been a change of ownership but the place is still going strong. Amazing service! Request Maria you won’t be disappointed! She’s an amazing server. Very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. I can’t tell you how much I love their guacamole, shredded beef tacos, and the Mexican candy margarita!
