Food is always delicious! I went in after work on Mother’s Day to take home 3 orders of shrimp fajitas and the patio and tables inside were packed. Despite staff being very busy, I still got my order in 15 min and one of the teens working at the register checked on me while I waited to see if I needed anything. I’ve always had excellent service. The margaritas are delicious as well!
Had burrito bowel got sick as a dog.
Will not be back

The food was decent— the fajitas and tacos were flavorful, but nothing that really stood out as exceptional. The portions were a bit small for the price, especially considering other similar spots in the area.
The service was quick and efficient, and the staff were friendly, which was a big plus. However, the flavors just didn’t hit the mark for me, and the salsa felt bland. It’s not a bad place, but there’s room for improvement when it comes to the food itself.

We recently moved from the South Side, where our favorite Mexican restaurant was Primos, to Beaverdale. After trying a few places, I believe we've found our new Mexican restaurant on this side of town.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian combo section. Bean or cheese option for some dishes, like enchiladas. Gluten free enchiladas. Beans don't contain meat.

solid service and they are good at accommodating large groups, lunch specials are a nice deal and I love the free chips and salsa. huge menu so you can probably find something that you like, but I feel some things are definitely quite hit or miss and varying in quality.
