We walked over from the hotel for super on 5/20/22. The server was a young man, he was very courteous and prompt with drinks and chips and salsa.The food was very good, I had the shrimp and rice which was fantastic. We had a group of 7 and they treated us great and our food and drinks came quick.Thanks for the pleasant dining experience!

Outstanding! Seated right away, wait staff brought menus and utensils immediately and took our drink order. Literally 2 mins later delivered drinks and chips and salsa. The menu is new, we took a few minutes to be look it over. Wait staff returned and took our order. Within a few minutes PIPING hot entrees we're served.

This place has decent food the lunch menu is reasonably priced. The shredded beef items are good the ground beef though doesn't seem to be that good.

Building is falling apart and needs big time upgrading!No pride in this establishment...Bar sucks!!!That was enough for me to see I was not about to ORDER NOTHING off the menu!

When you drive by or walk in it looks like a suburban fake Mexican place, but it’s not. The service, food and patrons were authentic! Dinner is a little spendier than a mom and pop, but not bad.

Service was spectacular, even tho it was a very busy night. Food was so-so: steak burrito, chips n salsa, nachos, chicken fajitas - was pretty bland. The standard margaritas (rocks) were super sweet & very little tequila.

The staff are nice and the margaritas are to die for. There is enough alcohol in them so you can fill a kick. Every time I have gone there the food has been hot and and delicious.

We’ve been eating here regularly for a couple years now and enjoy it a lot. The flavored margaritas are very good, the service is fast and friendly and the food is consistently good. The salsa could use more salt is the only thing I can nit pick about.

The Molcajete is amazing! A friend took me here not that long ago. Can’t believe I never came here before then. Really feel like I’ve been missing out!
