Worst service ever. We got seated fairly quickly but took over 30 min to order. All later arriving tables ordered and got food long before us. Then another 30-min to get food. They were severely understaffed.. I wished they would have not seated us and explained the wait. Food was not worth the wait.

Got seated pretty quick but we did show up as they opened. However those that got there after us waited a long time to get seated. Chip bowl was big enough for entire party to eat two chips. Ordered a Corona, which came already opened and the beer was at the bottom of the neck. So either they poured some out or reuse bottles and refill them from a tap. Got a steak taco salad. Flavor was good but the steak was very crispy. Out of 5 people with 5 different meals, not a single meal was enjoyed

We can't speak about the food because we weren't able to get in. The sign said that the restaurant was open from 11-2 and 5-8. We arrived at 1pm and the doors were locked but there were people incide. The entrance is not clearly marked so we walked all the way around the building but everything was locked. They might have locked the doors early to prevent a just before 2pm close rush, but we were still very disappointed. If that is the reason it should be clearly advertised so people don't waste their time.

The food was good and the service as well. We really enjoyed the shrimp fajitas, their beans were good the rice needed a little more flavor. My sister got a taco and enchilada with rice and beans and she enjoyed her meal. My brother in law had a quesadilla whi h he also thought was pretty good. As a Mexican I expect Mexican restaurants to have really good and flavorful food, this restaurant was not perfect bit the Waitor was super nice and the food was good. I thought I was gonna be let down but I was wrong. You should definitely give it a try. Also don't order their chiles rellenos because they're not Chile's Rellenos they're actually stuffed bell peppers lol. Enjoy.

The food barely beat my dogs food. Meat very salty. Never got a drink refill. Not recommended unless your MRE is spoiled.

We waited 40 minutes just to be seated. Three people working, asked not to order anything "complicated" try to order tacos or burritos if you want your food "faster". Tried to order and the first two items and drink I wanted were not available as they had run out. Some waiter tried to be funny but only made things worse with his humor that made no sence. I get it, things happen, but if you can not find staff..... just close instead of running such poor service. If my group hadn't wanted that food I would not have stayed.

Garbage communication (which is laughable for a business on a military post). Told us they were closed at 3, and would open at 5. Waited at their door from 5 till 5:40, never opened. Called, never got an answer. This was on a BCT graduation day where none of the privates are allowed to dine off-post. Thanks El Zapata, very cool!

Customer service is terrible. Rude waiter/manager. Took forever to get a seat because they were only seating 4 tables at a time. They always say they’re “understaffed” all 3 times I’ve been. Then the waiter rushes us to order our food and basically tells us what to order because it’ll come out faster and is easier to cook. The whole experience all 3 times felt rushed, unpleasant and disrespectful. I’m in the military and expected better service from a restaurant that’s located on base. Will not return! Highly advise to eat elsewhere!

I was in town with my BF and his family bc his brother was graduating from boot camp. After the restaurant finally opened for the evening, we walked in and were greeted with an overwhelming scent of mildew and sweat.The man who seated us warned us early on they only had 1 waitress, 1 cook and him, who apparently didn’t even work there but was helping out.At the time, there was only 1 other family in the whole establishment.He took us to a table and told us dinner service would be moving extremely slow and if we had to be back to the base by a certain time, we should only order something he suggested. We told him we didn’t have to be back until 7:30 and it was 5:30 at the time and he pushed for us to order something he suggested. Tell me why it would take 2 hours to cook 4 entrees.He kept complaining about being there and had a sour attitude and kept telling us how sweaty he was.(Still no one else in there but us and another family).We ended up leaving.It would’ve been cool to experience the food but the man who seated us ruined it.

Not the best Mexican food I've had, but not the worst either. Better than I was expecting.
