The food here tastes very high quality. Steak has great flavor. There's also a full bar and I found the atmosphere to be a nice escape. Will definitely come

I’ve always had a great meal here, and I love the vibe at the bar. Now that Eric is back I can be sure I’ll have the perfect margarita! Tonight he made me a coconut lime margarita and it was amazing!!

We have been coming here since it opened! Everything is extra charge now. It used to be unlimited chips/salas but now you have to pay $5 for additional baskets. The basket we got had all broken tiny chips in it.The salsa has changed over time, not sure why it's so creamy now and lacks consistency. The spicier one is overall bland.Sour cream used to just come with quesadillas but now you have to pay almost $2 extra.I guess most of these are contributed to the economyThe one thing that aggravated us is the waitress was coming out of the kitchen and she dropped half of my daughter's fries off her chicken nugget/fry dinner. The waitress went back into the kitchen for a second before coming back out. She put the plate down in front of my toddler that had about 12 fries on it. She looked and asked if we needed anything else. I asked her if she was going to get a replacement for the fries that were all over the bar floor. She said "oh you wanted more?" I said well, yes I want the fries that come with the meal for her. She returned to the kitchen with her plate and then came right back again. She then said they will be cooking more and bring them out when they were done. Overall, the issues was fixed however what is frustrating is that they were not offering to fix it unless we asked. The price of the food is expensive enough, you should be able to get what you are paying for.

Today We went to Taco Central because we were in the mood for Mexican food. The food was great as was the service from our waitress Liliam who recommended a La Parrillada and steak fajita that were very delicious.We also tried a couple of strawberry flavored margaritas that were great. We highly recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I had lunch here today. We were their only customers from 11:40Am to 12:40PM. Service was slow. The waitress was hard to understand at times. She had a heavy accent and talked fast.We ordered "medium" margaritas. They were just an average-sized drink and they were all ice. The mix they used was very sweet and there was very little alcohol in the drinks. Later, my wife wanted something else to drink. The waitress said they had a Pinot Grigio which turned out to be an unopened $10 screw top bottle of Sterling that was bad. I mean, really bad. She acted like she did not believe me and I suggested she taste it. They had no other wines! My wife settled for another margarita.The guacamole had a strange ingredient in it. I think it was ascorbic acid. It might have been vinegar. It was not lime or lemon. It made the guacamole much too tart and acidic. It was also too salty. The black beans were inedible because they were so salty. My chile relleno was greasy and it never got hot enough in the middle to melt the cheese at all. The same for everything else. It was lukewarm, greasy and some food was over-salted.The salsas were strange. One seemed to have cream in it. Another salsa was pretty hot but the flavor was poor.The barely warm rice had hard kernels of old rice mixed in with reasonably tender rice (bland, plain rice with red color but no flavor). I found a hard kernel of rice in with my chile relleno.We had guacamole, a Tuesday "taco special" of greasy, bland ground beef, and a chile relleno plate.The bill was $90 something. They charged us $7 for the bad wine!They charged us a 15% "service charge". I saw nothing anywhere that said they were going to charge us a service charge AND they still listed suggested tip amounts on our bill...The waitress had to get help from the other woman there to be able to process our credit card. This took a while. Another revue mentioned the same issue. I gave her a $10 tip (because of the 15% service charge) and the total bill was over $110!From somewhere in the bar area they had sounds from two different sources, that made for annoying racket.The waitress made no effort to clear the table at any time and she kept giving me my wife's drinks. She asked if everything was okay about when we were finished. Again, we were the only customers!Just totally disappointed in the meal and service.

$23 for a medium spicy margarita is absolutely insane. I'm pretty sure they just make up the prices since I saw someone else get charged $18 for the same thing last week. Be careful.Edit: There was nothing special or any additional ingredients added.

We found this place by accident and so happy we did! We loved all of the food! Grilled chicken tacos, Steak tacos, beef and potato empanadas all worth going in for. The waitress, Lilianna was so sweet and very good. She made the experience even better.

Great experience until it came time to pay. Charging an originally $13 margarita $18? Tried to argue and say the menu explicitly says $13 but they decided to gaslight us and say “the server asked if you wanted small or medium you said medium…” no the f she didn’t. She asked if we wanted salt or sugar/spice or no spice. That was it. A broke college student would have remembered a question like that. Sucks because the experience was great and you just lost a potential regular customer.

I have been going to this establishment since it opened. Unfortunately after my last takeout experience, I won't be ever going to this place again. I went to pick up my food, the server didn't know how to properly use the register. They had to call over another server to assist. That didn't help....The server then had to call someone on the phone to attempt to ring me out. The whole ordeal took ten minutes while our order sat getting cold. Finally the server figured it out and I hand them a never before used $100 gift card. The server swipes it twice prints out 3 receipts handing me two receipts asking for signature. I sign the receipt, leaving no gratuity and ask if I was double charged. The server states no. I drive all the way home and the order is missing items. I call explaining the issue. Now I have to drive all the way back to get the missing items. I also call to check my gift card balance. The charge on my card is $60.55. My bill was supposed to be $50.46 When I get to the restaurant I try any explaining the situation, they somehow charged me a 20% gratuity without my authorization. All they would have to do is refund me $10.09 instead they deny the discrepancy and then ask me to prove it. So I let them here the only transaction on the gift card. They still deny my refund telling me I'm wrong. When I gave them the proof they were asking for. When I asked for a Manager they informed me there was not one there... Not only did I have to eat cold food, go back for missing items, I also got overcharged. Never going back...
