I went with my family of four 2 adults 2 kids and spent 85 dollars including tip on food and drinks. Portions were different depending on what you order but for 85 dollars I didnt see the value in it. I dont mind tipping but please dont put the percentages on the bottom to make me feel obligated to go 15% ,20% or even 25% basically paying for a whole other meal.

All I can say for my taste, food was great at least the gorditas I had. Service was the best, friendly and they were always making sure we had everything. The only thing I did not like were the chairs at the tables. Uncomfortable and too high for a short big person. I will be going back. Thanks for the great service and food!

VERY nice looking place and the waitress was friendly!
The salsa with the chips was very watery.
The meal I ordered was okay, but the meat sprinkled on top was very dry.
