Not real tequila
Very patient staff. A bit of a wait, food was okay, drinks were good, but the atmosphere was good and staff was friendly.

The truth is terrible service, we have come before and it has changed a lot. But the food is all behind, it doesn't taste fresh. The waitresses don't even serve you, they spend their time talking to the managers or owners. The waitress only served me literally twice twice before stopping me to ask someone else for my bill.
Apart from the fact that it was terrible service, I have to leave a tip. The managers should do their job and check on the customers.

I ordered a pick up. I'm feeling so under the weather and just down. I asked for a side of salsa they gave me chips included and a churro. It was such a nice and "sweet" surprise. I didn't order a churro but who doesn't love one. Thank you to whoever packed this for me as my really crappy day just got better. You made me smile and the taco salad was delicious!
Good food, good service!

I wanted to go to a place downtown DeKalb that was a bit more upscale and had a great atmosphere. This place had it!! The food was delicious, super fresh, and came out quite quickly considering how packed the place was. I did feel a little rushed by service. I was on the phone when I first stopped in and my server kept asking me questions while I was still talking on the phone. When I finally got off of the phone I asked for a few minutes to decide what to order. She gave me about one minute and then came asking again. I got flustered and picked the first thing I saw. Luckily the food was delicious!! I still had a wonderful time, my waitress just kept coming back asking questions every three minutes or so. But, the bathrooms were spotless clean, which is always a good sign for me. And I was able to use my wheelchair successfully! There were ramps, an elevator, and low tables to easily move in and out. I really appreciated the attention to detail on accessibility. I would still really recommend you try eating here, the food is worth it and the environment is great!

Service was slow even though it wasn't crowded. Waitress was friendly. Food arrived hot and was delicious. I got a Chimechanga and hubby got the Taquitatas. Chips and salsa served almost as soon as we sat down. Salsa has a kick to it.
Parking: Big parking lot along side street, but you need to cross railroad tracks.
