“Ate here several times and have enjoyed the food. Though since opening....service at tables seems a bit slow here and there. Can't review alcoholic drinks because I don't drink.Recently I ordered pick up. Upon the return time they gave me... It took about a 20 minute wait for someone to come to the front to assist me with my pick up . They gave me a receipt but not my debit card back. Partly my fault to realize this.....but their fault too...this is the 2nd time that happened to me at pick up.. I think maybe a bell would work at the front desk to get someone's attention.i even stood at the bar for 5 minutes but no one came out.for awhile.. all in all I will probably return here be a use thw food I've had has been delicious each time....I recommend the shrimp quesidilas and I love their rice. However I think that their customer service really needs attention. They gave me a menu. I ordered pick up and they said 15 to 20 minutes....once arriving to pick up I waited about 15 to 20 minutes for someone e to come to the front to get the food.“

“I’ve been going here for about two years now and this is my of my favorite restaurants in the area. The Baja Shrimp tacos have this amazing sauce that makes the meal so so good. And the burros have such a good sauce too. I also love their fries, they’re so unique with them being so thin. The service here is also great. You get sat quickly, your server comes over fast, and your food comes out fast. The other night I had this server Dana who was so sweet and we had a nice conversation. It was great because I was dining alone so I was happy to have someone to talk to. And she recommended the pastelitos and they were delicious. Highly recommend!!!“

“Very pleasant, great staff, excellent manager and the food is very good. They seem to maintain control over liquor sales in a part of Main Street at the intersection of Chapel which seems to be the worst in the City. The only thing seems to be the kitchen staff which seems very unfriendly. Have known the owner since day 1 when Gus asked me to help him put.“

“I do not reccomwnd atexquita. I went there for dollar taco night a couple months back and they let us know they no longer offer that but instead a different special. Not a problem at all, the problem was that they wanted until after we ate to tell us it was cash only or we had to pay full price. When i asked the waiter why we weren’t informed before we were told we should have known. I asked to speak to the manager and received the same response, we should have known and they would charge us full price if we didn’t have cash on us. I have asked to speak with the owner and/or another manager and still have yet to receive any response either via Facebook or email. I would not waste my time here if I was you, it was an experience i wish i never had.“

“I always ask for extra lettuce, in my bowl, cause I don’t get a lot of toppings. They put maybe a mouthful more. Wow, can you spare it.. I only get meat, bacon, rice. Plus not a single person in that place knew how to fix the soda machine. All of a sudden it just stopped, so as far as I’m concerned, they owe me a lg soda.“
