One word: Bomb! so as stated before im originally from Cali so I try my hardest to find Mexican food restaurants that remind me of home and this place is on the list. I ordered the grilled chicken chimchanga and a steak street taco.. my friend ordered the chicken and beef nachos. all delicious very filling and well worth the money. My total came up to around $15 for my food and drink. usually this place is active with music, dancing and drinks flying everywhere so if you are on old national looking for good Mexican eats you can stop in this place and enjoy the good time. they also have TVs and full bar in the middle of the restaurant if that's more of your style as well.

The Food is DELICIOUS! The Building is not the best looking place but its what's. Inside that counts! 6/18 The building has been painted, and revamped

Good place to meet up, have lunch or dinner and just wind down with a few drinks. There is patio access for the smokers, very upbeat, chill, environment. Food and drinks are great!

I love the Tex Mex nachos there. Great for casual dining. I just wish they had a website so I could look up the menu on line.

My hidden jewel. I like the chill atmosphere and the food and price point. Drinks are good and you get a buzz. I'd definitely recommend for people who would like to chill over good food and drinks.

New look! Food takes a little longer come out but its still delicious. I love margarita on the rocks but I only drink them frozen here b/c they pack a hell of a punch. Nice weekend hangout for drinks, food and a live dj.

Omg these chicken nachos is the f****** bomb . Mouth watering . Very season to the T! The waitress is super nice . We went on a Wednesday at 6pm it's dead which is good for me . Everything was cooked to order which is a plus for me . I would Come back everything was perfect

Whoa! This place is definitely not the most invited looking restaurant that you will see inside or out. This fact makes it hard to trust eating there. I kept it simple and order the Jack Daniel's wings which came out nice and crispy, so I knew that they were cooked though. Our server was very good, and the margaritas were well made. That's the saving grace for this place. Go for the drinks, and that's only if you are on that side of town. No special trips needed.

The place is filthy. Overgrown grass and discarded furniture at the entrance. Midway through my meal I look out the window and see big spiderwebs lining the entire window. I felt gross after eating there. Spare yourself the headache.

Decent food but I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that played rap music but ok. Waitress was a little uh... If I can't say anything nice I probably shouldn't say anything at all. Pay attention to your check, they tried to slide some mess past me.

This place is completely horrible. I will never go to this establishment again. Food is gross, customer service is gross. I will report them to the food and drug administration. Ridiculous!!

The fajitas were excellent. Perfectly cooked I ordered I fresh roasted jalapeno. To eat on the side it threw them a little but they got it right .the refried beans were cooked with lard and had a true authentic taste.

horrible place. so I was driving by old national to do my taxes and stuff so to make a long story short, I was hungry and noticed that Cozumel and nopal were these popular places on that street or hwy. so I decide to go to Cozumel.... (speechless) I was like is this even open? too many people walking thru outside mean mugging people just felt awkward so I left .... then I was like let me go to the nopal ...(speechless!!) horrrrible parking people some guys just standing around like if they were ready to shoot you! so I was like let me walk in or something you know... again seemed closed walked in the first set of doors then the 2nd set of doors and the first thing we see is the hostess or bartender with their feet on the bar seating on a stool like waiting for their first customer or something! I didn't say a word I just walked out.... I know I said long story short but this 2 places are horrible I didn't even try them or anything but they weren't even good enough to make me go in.

Good, reasonably-priced food (the enchiladas were surprisingly tasty, and the portions large). The service was fast.
