Nastiest “salsa” I’ve ever had, legit tasted like they dumped Campbell’s tomatoe soup in a bowl and gave it to us.

Food was bland. Ordered a chicken and rice dish. Not much flavor. Service was good. Very prompt and happy. Price was pretty decent. Salsa was more like pureed tomatoes than salsa.

We were looking forward to our dinner here, but honestly it felt like dinner straight out of the frozen food aisle. The ‘salsa’ was basically tomato juice cosplaying as salsa — complete with a spoon so you could drink it, I guess? The chips were not complimentary (yes, you pay extra for dipping into the tomato juice). The menu was extremely limited, so it was difficult to find anything appealing.

The chicken tasted processed and “pressed” like it came from a factory mold, and the rice was so mushy/blended it could’ve doubled as baby food. At one point I wondered if I was just eating a glorified TV dinner on a plate.

Oh and don’t forget to ask for the $1 dollop of daisy sour cream. Literally, not even joking.

The waitress was kind (no complaints there), but the food and pricing were rough. If you’re craving authentic Mexican, this ain’t it.

We went after Rodeo parade and they need a great job waiting/serving people. Food was good and we get it fast.

There were very few customers when I arrived. I was given and menu and salsa. I sat there for over 10 minutes and still no waitress. I got the attention of person gave menu and told her I was ready to order and would like a glass of water which she did bring. She went and found a waitress to take my order finally

If you like dry ground beef with a little bit of Mexican seasoning in it, then this is the place for you. The portions are big and the prices are decent.

I personally have had better Mexican food at Taco Bell. And the poor staff bring out tomato soup (they call it salsa) and then you get charged for chips! I think k I had 4 bites of my whole supper and left it. And good lord a corona, you get a lime wedge thinner than an onion slice on a burger. Don’t waste your time. Absolutely terrible

Great tacos. Salsa is garbage IMO. Chips pretty good but was charged for them. Probably won't return.
