I wish I remembered her name but our waitress last night was super sweet. She mentioned she was a teacher and a mother of two. Our 9 month old son adored her and she didn't mind him making a mess or grabbing at her apron. Small interactions and connections change the entire dynamic of something as simple as eating out and make memories.It was really nice to get away from the parks and resorts to sit down for a relaxing meal at a familiar restaurant. The food was great and the kitchen did a great job getting things out even with a large carry out volume.

Very nice and clean looking restaurant. The waiter was VERY nice. The food was good and we got a large serving. 3 of our 4 had to take to-go boxes! We would definitely eat here again.

We waited forever to get served. We even had to flag the waiter down and ask. He was very kind but super busy. The entire night I felt like our table was invisible. The Mexican food is very Americanized and looked like it was microwaved. It made my stomach upset. Both of my friends and I went to bed nauseous after eating the food here. I almost threw up. They didn't even have guacamole for the chips. The margaritas were amazing though.

Food was really good but our server was the worse. We had to ask a couple times for her to bring us the rest of our order, didn't offer to refill our cups and had to ask 3 times for her to bring us boxes for our leftovers. Again the food was great and I'm sure you'd enjoy it if you get better waitstaff!

You would think it's tough to mess up Tex-Mex....You would be wrong. Margarita tasted only of sour mix, actually watched the bartender make another margarita and not put any tequila in it!!! Now for the good. The queso was runny, like water almost. I had a "Pick 3". And maybe I just picked the wrong 3 who knows? Fish taco, Empanada, and Enchilada. Only had a few bites of each they were that bad. It all tasted like it was microwaved.... Just all in all bad food, bad drinks. Stay away from this place, there are so many better places to eat here.

Walked in at 5:40 not knowing there was a happy hour about to end. Bartender looked at us, then looked at the other bartender and loudly said "great, this will be fun" while rolling her eyes. This was on 3/15. We ordered a round of drinks, skipped the food as we were very uncomfortable. Thanks for that. Won't be back :)

I ordered the shrimp fajitas... And was Highly disappointed. BUT they did replace it with a very nice steak. The floors around the bar could be swept more... Lastly even after my replaced steak the new silverware I received was dirty and there was even rice rolled in the napkin with it... I'm upset... But I've had worse.

Very nice place. I was here at lunch on a Tue. The special that day was tacos for $2. I order two and I will have to say they very well may have been the best two tacos I ever had.Update: since the first visit I have been two more times. Today was the third visit. Both of my follow up visits was not impressive. I had tacos on both follow ups and they where nothing like my first visit. I am reducing from 5 stars to 3. Don’t know if they got a new cook or the first time was just an accident.So there you have it.

This OTB location is one of the smallest I have seen. The staff were really nice and friendly, but the service slow and even a dinner size potion quite small.

Delicious food, chips and salsa included, and damn good margaritas. The price is fair for this type of restaurant and the food is definitely worth it. Staff was fast and kind.Plus $2 tacos on Tuesday.

Food was good, could have been more flavorful and hot. Drinks were on point. Staff were a bit disoriented but we were in and out in no time.

Jairo Gutierrez

Food wasn’t the best. And the portions small compared to what they charge. Host and waiter were great I must say!

This is a very Americanized Mexican restaurant . I ordered 2 beef tacos that came with rice and beans. The rice was dry and the tacos were average. Service was good though.

Sandy Cherry

Had VERY slow service to get started. Good chips and salsa! Once we got served she was great! Taco deal on Tuesday is a great deal!!
