My last stop there was about a year ago. I walked in and sat at one of the four tables just inside the entrance before you walk into the larger dining room. I always sit in this area when I dine alone when coming after work. After I sat down, immediately, this skinny short older man, sitting at one of the four tables, doing paperwork, snapped at me and said there were more tables in the larger dining area. He didn’t smile or say hello, nothing else. He was so rude, so curt and I was shocked. Like it bothered him to look across his table and see me there or something. I was a regular patron for a couple years when this happened but I never saw him before. If I were younger and skinnier I can promise you he would not have treated me like that. What a bias a-hole. I am a paying customer like everyone else. He was completely disrespectful and that is inexcusable and unprofessional to treat any patron so rudely. He should know what goes around comes around. I left and never returned.

Authentic Mexican restaurant. I asked for the beef fajitas and it comes on a iron cast with sizzling beef onions and bell peppers a side plate with rice, beans, sour cream and Gallo pinto plus a little basket with 3 very flavorful tortillas. It was $17 bucks for this plate but enough to share amongst 2 people. The decoration and music was very Mexican and service was fast and on point. Loved it !

First time here. Food is good with large portions. They had life music which was actually nice. Not too loud and woman sang romantic song - right entertainment for dinner.

Amazing Mexican food! Small restaurant, clean, music was great and service outstanding. The sampler appetizer was enormous and delicious. The steak fajita delicious, the burrito del Norte excellent, and the steak campesino was also amazing. The dessert which we shared sopapillas was delicious and a few people can eat from it. Definitely recommend.

I wish I would of starting leaving reviews earlier so I could be more specific of the how rapidly this place has been declining. This went from being one of my favorite local places to one of my most disliked places. The food quality has been getting worse and worse to the point now I will not be returning. We would normally come by and pick up dinner every other week. We always get the same thing. Steak quesadillas and the large chips and salsa because we USE to love how fresh it always tasted and it went so good on everything. Well the last few times we would go we would order,we noticed the huge difference in quality ingredients in the quesadilla but nothing would expect us for how terrible the salsa was. The salsa was so watered down I couldn't even get anything in the chip. And it just got worse. I called to explain what happened and they did offer to exchange it which I did. But it was just terrible. The pictures added was how much just plain water added to the salsa that it literally has Zero flavor. I was able to fill 2 soup bowls with the amount of water inside them cause whatever tomatoes and onions just sank. The quesadilla are pretty much half the size of what they use to be and whatever cheese they use may have been changed cause it's just not the same. Even the beans they use don't have nearly the same flavor as before. Just bland. After I got my second replacement salsa order. I called to ask what has changed whether it's the owners? The cooks? I don't know but This place is far far from the amazing experience I use to love to come here for. The 2 star rating was left cause the actual 3 tacos we ordered were nice cause of the fresh cut onions but the rest of the meal was hugely disappointing. Never again.

I read the reviews so I thought food was going to be good. Well chips and salsa was more like chips and marinara sauce horrible. I ordered a margarita it looked like Mountain Dew , ordered tacos el pastor which tasted like they were seasoned in vinegar. I don't recommend this place at all not real Mexican food . It seemed like everything was from a can, nothing home made.

Had dinner with my daughter. When I was ready to pay they told me they were only accepting Zelle. They never advised me, the waitress that attended us was rude. Fist and last time going to this place.

I was here today, every single item i got (including drinks and a side) was charged at $1 more than what was on the menu. When we brought it up to staff, they essentially said they knew that the menus were wrong and offered no remedy. So between my boyfriend and I we ordered 5 items. Which amounted to $5 more on our tab. Which then added $5 to a total that we paid gratuity on. Not a big deal for 2 people. But when it’s a larger group; incredibly dishonest practices.
