The margarita was tasty
The taco salad was watery and small portion
Their sauce on enchiladas tasted like tomato soup
The beef taco had no taste very low-grade beef
The chips, dry, thick and tasteless
They’re higher scale, Mexican restaurants in the area to go enjoy a meal

Before last weeks experience I’d have nothing but positive review but this last has changed my mind. My whole family got E. coli after eating here. This is first time experiencing E. coli and oh boy , ive felt like death. Would love to say just a bad day but clearly they are not sanitary or using product that’s expired and not caring about the well being of ppls health. Haven’t been this sick in over 10 yrs. Don’t think I’ll be returning

My food arrived just a couple minutes after we ordered. I'm pretty sure it was microwaved. It was bland, the burrito was mushy, the hard shell taco was soggy on one side. Not what I'm used to from this place, it was pretty gross.
