Went inside no other customers were there. Placed to go simple order ground beef enchiladas. Got home received all shredded chicken enchiladas. Can't understand how they got it wrong since I was the only one there. Can't eat chicken ruined my whole night

Used to be a great place but quality has gone downhill. Portions have shrunk and food quality is nothing to what is used to be.

This place is close to our house so I keep returning, despite recurring issues. I grew up working corporate owned restaurants so the training was great and maybe that means my standards are a little higher. Seems like the little things need tweaking and then I'd give it a higher score. Even when the place is EMPTY it still takes forever for menus, or the chips and salsa, or the drinks. There is never any music playing so you hear your neighbors conversations or kitchen noise. I always ask for some Mexican music for 'ambiance'. Once they put on the music, and I get my margarita, and munch on some chips, everything is better. Food is okay, but nothing out of this world. The lady (the owner?) stayed behind the bar chatting with one guest the whole time, while a gentleman ran around taking care of the whole place. He was great. But I feel like the whole team needs some training on the basics, including the owner. "Running a Restaurant 101." They have such an opportunity to make this place an amazing little local gem... but it just seems to fall short on a few things

The service was outstanding. The food was fresh,and plentyful. The carneasda was very tender, but needed some adobo seasoning. Even salt and pepper would have done the job. Garlic powder even better. My comarone fajitas was tasty. Again fresh, and looked good, but needed at least for me a little bit of heat. The salsas had no heat at all. I will go again and try the red salsa and ask for salt and pepper.

Difficult to order. Lots of add on charges for items that should be inclusive. Taco with protein but extra for lettuce, tomatoes and cheese? A taco is more than a shell and meat. Waitress only understood Spanish. Never came back to check on us. Place was not busy. Music was so loud we couldn’t talk. Price is high for less than average food.
