The Carne Asada plate and the Chicken Enchilada plate was very good! I especially loved the Carne asada because it was flavorful and not dried out like most places. The Chicken inside the enchiladas came cut instead of shredded which actually made it easier to eat! If there was any growth that could come from this spot, it's the front desk/hostess area. They can't see you come inside, so they should consider that in case someone might be waiting awhile. Other than that, I like the music and the decor too. We would definitely come back!

After driving by for years, we decided to finally give them a try and weren't disappointed. We were greeted as soon as the door opened and sat immediately. Most of the meal we had the place to ourselves. The interior was clean and decently maintained. Complimentary chips and salsa were delivered then our drink orders were taken. Chips and salsa: freshly fried, warm corn tortillas and mild salsa - no spice, good flavor. Chilaquiles con carne asada: red sauce, two over easy eggs and chips over carne asada, along side rice and beans. Good. Wet carne asada burrito: carne asada and pico de gallo inside a flour tortilla covered with red sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. I didn't try it, but my husband gobbled it down. Menudo: the tripe was tender and not gamey, hominy wasn't over board, and with the traditional additions, it was a good large bowl of menudo. Very tasty. Previous reviews weren't reflective of our experience. The service and food were great. There were regulars welcomed by name and the same friendliness was given to us newbies. We felt tended to and liked what we ordered. I'd urge you to make a stop and try for yourself.

I do not recommend this place. The food ia way overpriced and so are the drinks, plus the food does not taste good and they serve very small portion.Also, this is definitely not a family friendly restaurant.

This was our first and LAST time we ever eat thereI have never been in a place as worst as this.Pozole smelled like seafood,? they got the wrong order !! The carne azada plate was really bad the lettuce, was old the rice was tateless, the beans were plain, the meat was still raw!! Its just sad how restaurants dont care about how they make their food. WORST 100.00 DOLLARS we ever spend..

Horrible service.. first off we had to wait over 20 minutes for the us to be asked what we wanted to drink, then we had to ask the waitress four times for chips & salsa & She kept saying okay, until she finally said "we're out, that's why nobody has any" why didn't she say that the first time we asked? Shrimp Cocktail had NO flavor. Waste of money.

Food is fantastic, but I'm not a fan of coke in a bottle. Just doesn't taste the same. Clean and area nice. I'll be back with my family next time

PLEASE READ ALL OF MY RATEING *I USUALLY TRY DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS BY THE RATINGS THAT THEY HAVE. THIS ONE WAS COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF THEIR RATINGS. PLUS THE PRICES ONLINE ARE NOT WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE. SO PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO THAT!!!! THE PRICES ARE PRETTY REASONABLE.*I REALLY WANTED TO TRY A NEW PLACE FOR ME TO EAT AT SO I CAME HERE EVEN THOUGH I AM ALLERGIC TO SEAFOOD. I ASKED FOR CARNE ASADA NACHOS WITH THE MEAT WELL DONE PLUS LETTUCE & I LET THE WAITRESS KNOW THAT I HAVE ALLERGIES & IF SHE COULD LET THE COOK KNOW AS WELL.I AM TRULY THANKFUL FOR THEM DOING WHAT I ASKED FOR. I REALLY LOVED THE WAY THE FOOD LOOKED & TASTED IT WAS SO GOOD. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS GOOD.I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THE WAITRESS PUT ATTENTION TO WHAT I ASKED FOR.I WILL BE COMING BACK HERE FOR SURE REALLY SOON.PLUS I HEARD THAT THEY HAVE ENTERTAINMENT ON FRIDAYS & SATURDAY LIKE KARAOKE & LIVE MUSIC & BANDA IN SPANISH AND IT STARTS @7:00PM-2:00AM.

Customer services in person and on the phone is absolutely horrible but the food is so delicious only reason it gets 3 a star and that's pushing it because all the ladies here are super rude .

Been wanting to try this place out and that was a mistake. My husband and I got the breakfast burrito and the California burrito. The sour cream on the California burrito tasted as if it had turned, it was seriously disgusting. The avocado they put on it was liquidy and only on the bottom of the burrito. I could hardly eat it, it had no taste other than the rancid sour cream. The breakfast burrito was overly salty, making it hard to eat... too much ham. Water tasted weird and outdoor seating area was not clean.
