It isn't the same since the one owner left. We went in today and we're given a basket of chips and salsa, then waited for quite some time before anyone realized we didn't have drinks or menus. Then, finishing my last margarita, 6 minutes after closing, a server comes over and takes it off the table. I let him know, I am not finished with that (and he didn't ask before taking it) and he advises me that they are closed. I say, " oh I thought I had time since another table just got their food". He proceeds to tell me that they came in late ... Meaning what? Then says I'll come back in a couple of minutes. So I cleared our cups from the table and took them to him. This used to be one of my favorite places but I am inclined to no longer give them my business after tonight.

I have no complaints about this place, maybe a bit bigger would help the more elbow room,or more private conversations,but other than that my family and friends love everything about it including the staff! Always happy and smiling,great customer service.

Definitely a local favorite. All the menu choices are good, Mama's red sauce is just like I make at home. And they're bean and cheese dip with flour tortilla chips is almost a meal in itself. I love the spinach and cheese enchiladas. It does get a little crowded if you have a big group

Worker here stole my dads water bottle the day of my moms funeral. He went back the next day to get it and she laughed about stealing it. Very classy.

Lunch with Co-workers. Friendly staff, food was good and hot and quick. AND delicious : ) Between all of us we had beef tacos, chicken taco, guac tostada, mexican burger with fries and of course chips and salsa. Generous portions and really decent prices. Thanks :)

This place was great. The portions were large and not pricey. I would definitely go back. Service was good and the restaurant was clean.

The only thing I wasn't satisfied with was the lettuce. Next time I would order something without lettuce. Other than that for sure we will visit soon.

Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu that is simple for picky eaters. Adult menu is inexpensive enough to let older kids eat off the adult menu for more options.

Awesome place to eat lunch. I have eaten here for 3 years and never had a problem. Food is delicious and the staff is awesome. They love dogs and have an outside area just for such.
