Terrible service at its worst ???

The meat I had at this Mexican restaurant was some of the best I've had in a while.

The food was flavorless, from the salsa & chips to the steak, chicken, and shrimp in the Fajita's. The best tasting thing was the garlic shrimp in the appetizer ? the steak & chicken were actual fat little chunks of meat ? rather than the thinner slices one might be used to elsewhere.The service was alright!Our waitress was quick and efficient but didn't check up on us, you had to quick fire a question/request as she set down refilled drinks or you weren't gonna get it ? granted, I think she was just wayyyy busy for a Friday night.The music was loud as were the patrons, can't complain - really set a good Friday Night Vibe

Patricia was our waitress today and she gave us excellent service. Food was perfect, as always. I got the Carne Tampequeña, mom got the something that had a chile relleno and asada. The coke was gross though, I think they mixed orange pop with it because it was NASTY.

I’ve passed by this place everyday day to and from work for 7 years and it was seven years wasted!Drinks: Margaritas are fabulous even if they could be a touch stronger (and they have half price margaritas most days of the week)Food: For appetizer we ordered the Botana La Mex. The garlic shrimp was mouth-watering, steak seasoned perfectly, and while a spinach quesadilla sounds odd, it was so good!! For dinner I ordered the Al Pastor taco plate. Anyone who eats Al Pastor knows that it’s cooked a variety of different ways and never the same. I’ve been on a quest for years to find Al Pastor in the area that has that sweet pineapple combined with salt taste and I finally found it!! My husband had the Diablo burrito which was equally as good.Atmosphere: Only reason I gave this section a 4 star was because the women’s bathroom was a little disheveled. The cleaning mop bucket was left out, water all over the sink, broken soap dispensers. Could use some TLC at various times of the day.

They put cilantro on the queso dip and when I questioned it the waiter said it came on it. I pulled up the menu and it did not, then the waiter had an attitude. It’s VERY strange they garnish with cilantro because it’s a very distinguished taste that one may not like. Soda’s taste weird as well almost like carbonated water..$4? I sent it back and still was charged. Nasty. Overall wouldn’t go back. Last note: the evening lighting is bad.. it’s dim and almost an orange color

I celebrated my leap year birthday here. The staff sang happy birthday to me and gave me a slice of cheesecake. If it was nicer out I would've sat out on the patio.
