I really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service of this establishment. It's clean and honestly the food is super good. They provide you with chips and salsa, and they were warm and crispy and fresh, yum! I ordered the two chili relleno and added a chicken tamale on the side. I was impressed. I may have wanted more rice to sop up all the sauce, but beggars can't be choosers and it was portioned nicely. The peppers didn't seem to be fried on the outside at all,...

We haven't been in this restaurant since the pandemic. The food quality and service is clearly not what it used to be. As another reviewer noted, our server acted as though she would rather be someplace else. The frozen margaritas were served as melted margaritas. Very disapointing.
