My friend and I meet every few weeks here for lunch. Service is always friendly and quick, the restaurant is always clean and the decor fun and the food...the food is simply amazing. I always get the lunch Chimichanga special with seafood. The tortilla is FILLED with seafood, fried perfectly and topped with queso. The beans and rice are always tasty, along with fresh sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes. The price for my meal with a generous tip is under $15. No wonder we go here every time!!

Angel Special was delicious! Service was attentive and the staff was friendly. If you don’t want a fish fry during Lent, plenty of seafood options here.

Very good service from start to finish .
Food was good not “oh my god” but leaning more towards “we will be back eventually “
It was packed and our food was ready quickly.
The parking was a little goofy but nothing major.

I'm just not impressed with the food, I guess it depends on what you like for Mexican food but it just seemed really bland to me. The service and atmosphere were just average too

I’ve been coming for years and everything on the menu has been great! I love visiting with friends from the area or from out of town. They’ve all loved it too!

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.
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!
