I downloaded and created an account here just to say this: STAFF MEMBERS are lazyyy and pretend to not see you just so they don't get to attend your table. just side eye you as they walk by. I sat for 10 munutes and not one would stop to provide service so I just grabbed my things and left. -100/10 stars. management can do better than that. cm on

Rosie and her team recently provided catering service for my wife's surprise birthday party. The guests commented all night about how good the food was! There was ample quantity and the food was great! Thank you Rosie for your fantastic service!

Located just down from 12 Stone Church in the Kroger shopping center. If you face Kroger, it is on your left on the corner. Cute patio space & a large inside that has plenty of space for hungry folks... fun for parties too. A big bar is in a separate room in the back- nice one too! Lots of great spirits or fun drinks non alcoholic. Sweet gal at the front desk, calls everyone "Love". Took great care of of me & got our to go order perfect in about 10 minutes. Lots of folks here at 6:30 pm on a Thursday too! Got my food & it was SOOO GOOD! My guys got the Bowls with Steak- pretty big! I got some sides; a chicken & a steak rellinos, rice & beans- DELICIOUS, Everything!! We used to come & dine in- been a while. We need to come back!!! Enjoy!

Firstly, we were excited to try a new restaurant and immediately we were disappointed.The dinning room was practically empty and there was still two tables that were in desperate need of being cleared of the prior meal's dishes. Five out of the six large booths near the windows were a skew. The hostess greeted us after we took our seats on our own, only stating that our server will be with us shortly.After 15 mins, our server arrives to work and then another 5 mins later she approaches our table to get our drink order.The blinds were not lowered in preparation for sunset, which I lowered myself because the sunlight was literally blinding me.After we receive our drinks the waitress asks if we would like menus. An additional 15 mins passes before the waitress comes back to our table, again we are one of three active tables.Surprisingly, our food arrives quickly after ordering. Sadly, my chimichanga was bland. Even the cheese sauce was tasteless. The only real flavor we experienced was from the free salsa and an small order of the ready made guacamole.Our server was a nice woman, it is a shame she works at a low caliber establishment.Parking: The parking lot is the shared lot for the stripmall.Wheelchair accessibility: The entire place is one flat floor with moveable seating, which would accommodate a wheelchair wherever you'd like to sit.

The service was good but the food was meh. I can't say it was not good but it could have been better. Overall this is not a bad spot. The service was great. A good spot to grab a quick bite for a reasonable price.

My husband and I stopped in the take out food late on a Sunday evening. The place was quiet and there was no one at the bar except for our exceptional bartender Angie. She helped us with our takeout order and gave us our drinks and chips while we waited. She was attentive and did a great job. We got food for 4 people and two drinks for less than $60. This was surprising but a welcome blessing on vacation. There is plenty of parking as this is in a strip mall. Both outdoor and indoor bar or dining room seating. Pretty much something for everyone to eat. I would say the authentic carne asada tacos were about as good as they come. Just like Tijuana. Highly recommend this place.

Service was fast and the food was delicious. Ambiance was peaceful and the staff was inviting. I can honestly say with how warm and fuzzy I feel from the experience that I could make this a place to return to when I am in the area again. Love the variety for the kids menu, my children loved the food and they are picky eaters! Definitely recommend!

Went in on Sunday 10/15 and sat for 10 minutes with my menu and waitress walked by a couple of times but never took my order. No chips - nothing. I don't think they liked me coming in alone. I always tip better when I go in alone and this place is off my list. Got in my car and went to Monterray Mexican a couple a miles up hwy 20 and got a great meal and great service.
