Good food and great pitchers of margarita, spotty/slow service, but have gotten diarrhea 3x now, so probably not going to return again.

We ate here for dinner, and the food was very good. Not necessarily better than our favorite Mexican places in the area, but good. The service was very slow and phoned in. Let me be clear (I'm a former server) - I'm talking about the wait staff, not the kitchen. It was clear from observing them that they can only do one thing at a time and very slowly. It took 15 minutes after we arrived to get our drink order taken and 20 minutes after we finished eating to get the check. Also, they have very bright, stark white lightbulbs - the ambience would be helped enormously by some softer lighting.

The staff was nice and the interior is cute. The fajita was tons of food, more than my husband could eat, but the shrimp was fairly bland, he said. His margarita (not frozen) was okay. I ordered chicken tacos and got beef. They were fine, I guess. I will say the rice was amazing, but overall, the food is just okay. I wouldn’t avoid this restaurant, but I won’t be craving it.

My favorite thing about this place is that it feels like home. Delicious food, drinks, & beautiful environment. I love how they decorate for all occasions. Staff is extremely friendly and attentive to all customers. Take-out, LUNCH, dinner, happy hour. I come here by myself, with my husband, or my family. My favs are the 3tacos for lunch, quesadillas or fajitas for dinner & churros for dessert!! Always serve plenty of food & make for great leftovers to take home. Highly recommended! ❤️

The food is delicious and the servings are huge, the service is quick and friendly, the atmosphere and music are on point, and the prices are low. The best thing to ever happen to an old Wawa.

Burrito was nasty, the cheese dip they make is some homemade concoction and not the traditional cheese dip you would expect. Two of people in there and it took 10 minutes waiting for someone to notice we were there. Food was
