Manager is horrible but the staff is amazing

Take my advice. Go somewhere else to eat. My husband is a Mexican food fanatic. For him to say that he’s never eating there again it had to be bad.and it cost way to much for what you get.To start the booths they have for 4 only seat 2 comfortably. The chips tasted like fried paper. You could only taste the nasty oil that they were fried in. The presentation of the food was very poor and the taste was worse. There wasn’t any seasoning on the food at all. The chicken tasted like it was from a can. My fried onions and peppers taste and look like they were boiled!

Hostess seated my wife and I all the way in the back room in a crowded booth next to a large loud group after passing several open booths up front. Waitress was sweet but knew very little about the menu and couldn’t explain to a customer what Camorones ala Diabla- (Spicy Shrimp) was.. Chips were served cold, steak tampiquena was tough as boot leather and tasted like it was 6 months old. When the waitress brought my bill I noticed a “service charge” of 2.30%! This is not gratuity- When asked the waitress about it she said she agreed it was wrong but couldn’t remove it because Roberto, the owner had it designed to automatically charge each ticket but he was out of town at the moment. Fair warning- check your receipts for hidden charges! This is illegal and the labor department WILL be notified!

Don't know anything about the food, asked for coffee as my beverage and was told " They don't make it after 12".Everyone else tells me they'll brew a pot with not problem.Left the establishment after that.

This is easily the worst place I’ve ever ate at. The service sucks, food is bland and meat is canned. I do not recommend eating here whatsoever.

Looking for cold Mexican food you than you found the spot. I'm happy we had the nice Latina lady as our waitress because that was the only good thing about our visit. If you don't mind the college girls that working their mean mugging everyone than you found the spot.

Stopped in on a Sunday night as it was easy and looked not busy. We live Mexican so have it a try. Me I had some unique options - I got the chimiacha kind of like a small chimichanga - a few took many green peppers but the flavor was plentiful. Husband got the three meat rice bowl and it was loaded with meet and cheesy rice. Would come back. Their chips are very thin - similar to chili’s and the salsa very tasty!

Me and my best friend came to eat Friday night and it was packed but we waited for thirty minutes and didn't even have a drink or chips and salsa yet. So we just left. I think we should have got our drinks within thirty minutes.

We tried this place tonight and unfortunately we never received our food. We ordered tacos and rice and beans and after waiting for an hour (I’m not even exaggerating) we never had our food. We left $15 to cover the ice cold Dos Equis pitcher we had while waiting. The beer was great…I’ll never know about the food because well…you know.The worst thing is that when your food never comes, the server won’t make eye contact. They know…you know…we all know what’s going on. Just come over and acknowledge it. Offer me another beer on the house or just explain why TACOS are taking so long.Tacos are the easiest thing on the planet to make.We never received a bill or talked to anyone else after ordering. We just drank the pitcher and left the $15 on the table. I’m sure this place stays busy due to the tourists trying it but I cannot imagine they have any locals that come here regularly if this is the level of service. Oh and they weren’t even that busy. This was a Tuesday night at 6pm and there were many empty tables.
