The food is not terrible, but most taquerias will be better. The location is good and the service is good and sometimes very good. I mainly come here because my friends like it.

Everything was bland on bland, my first visit to any Mexican restaurant l order chicken Enchiladas. She sets plate down, sauce is runny with little flavor, sharp cheddar cheese covers everything wth, rice ok, refried beans ok salsa ok, chicken bland but not dry, gf's taco salad was a joke and forgot guacamole, server was more interested with goings on in other room, I WILL NOT BE RETURNING nor will l recommend it to anyone

At 11am on a Thursday afternoon, this place is perfect.There was a faint trickle of early lunch guests, and the staff said I could seat myself anywhere, so I picked a far-corner bar table. My seat was cushy, and not too high-up (which I consider a bonus). Within minutes, I was greeted with a bowl of delightfully crispy tortilla chips and fresh red salsa…I felt good n’ spoiled already! I picked a spot facing a wall of giant televisions delivering clear images of various sports (but none of them were at too high a volume — their combined sound blended into the background of house music, which I consider another plus).Roxanne was my waitress; through her, I learned breakfast items were served all day, so I gleefully ordered the chilaquiles with 3 eggs (as opposed to 2) and carne asada.I think I only waited 15-20 minutes tops (maybe less than that) for my meal…Everything was amazing— the juicy asada, the luscious eggs, the base of homemade chips mixed with their sauce and queso— so amazing that, after the first few bites, I forced myself to pause (& prevent myself from shoveling it all in)! ? I rarely let out audible ‘Mmm’ sounds when eating, but this was a special case. ?What’s more, Roxanne was the epitome of professionalism and integrity:I originally requested that my eggs be poached, but I resolved that I’d also be content with over-easy.Before the bill came, she disclosed that the kitchen was unfamiliar with poaching, and essentially asked for a run-down on how one poaches eggs …I then gave a brief summary/description and she seemed grateful. Her earnest curiosity left me impressed, so for her, I left (what I hope was) a generous tip. ?????My only regret was that I didn’t stay longer for a post-meal beverage, but as long as they don’t randomly shut down anytime soon, I’ll be returning for a longer visit. ??

Food was excellent. The server forgot about us about 3 times. Our lunch was over an hour and a half because of it. Never brought our kid his ice cream, after taking the order, never refilled drinks.

Drinks are very good. Service is not very good and the food is okay. Could be a nice outing for some appetizers and drinks.

Went here over he weekend for a quick lunch. I had the veggie Chile relleno and veggie enchilada, it was bland had to add salt and pepper. There just didn’t seem to be any flavor in the dish. My wife had veggie tacos and she said the same thing, we needed to add some spicy to give it a kick. My daughter liked her French fries and the chips and salsa they put out, that’s the only reason I gave the food three stars. I ordered a sprite and to ask for it twice before it came out. I wanted a refill and had to ask for it three times, it never came. That’s why service got a two. They did not check up on us, we had to go to the hostess s number of times to get the waiter to come over. The atmosphere was too dark in the bar area but cool as they had all the fans on. In the dining room it was lighter but muggy as they didn’t have any fans on. I had to ask them twice before they put it on.Overall it was a disappointing experience. I have been here before and the service and atmosphere was good. This time I don’t know what happened.We decided to give it a second try because we heard their food had improved but it wasn’t.It’s a shame because it has a prime location on Main Street.Vegetarian options: Limited veggie options.
