I love this restaurant. I wish it was cheaper but it's totally in line with other similar places. Their chips are great and there salsa is very good. I've always had very good service. The atmosphere is awesome. I think the food is tasty. I think their fajita cheese crisp is great. It used to be cheap too, but of course, nothing is anymore. I wish we lived close to one of these places. I will say that we've loved this place for many years so this post may...

The service was fantastic and the food came out quickly. The Long Islands are very strong but good and worth the $4 Wednesday price.

Kid-friendliness: Kid menus with coloring page and crayons. Decent sized portions. Staff is friendly and answered the kiddo’s questions.

The Cadillac Chimi was amazing. Absolutely delicious. I ate a little bit of the whole family's order and loved everything except the french fries.

Long Islands were proper strong. I felt it after a few sips, and it felt good!

Fried Ice cream was as good as I remembered from 20 years ago, albeit a little smaller.
