“I’ve seen this restaurant for years (maybe decades?) while going to Napoli’s. It always appears unassuming. A friend and I decided to stop here randomly and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Great service I need to say firstly. Although the laminated menus don’t have prices, the paper ones at the counter do for most items not Market Price. Don’t let this put you off. My meal was $20.99 at time of payment before tip, for seafood. The insane amount of different whole seafood options and steak specialties, the massive colorful platters, the huge drinks… This is a wonderfully decadently-far cry from my typical Napoli’s trip. BUT they still make the essentials like tacos, sopes, and burritos too. I got the Camarones con Crema de Chipotle, my friend got the Chilaquiles Verdes. Both were on MASSIVE platters and was a great amount of food. Seasoned rich sauce, great shrimp, warm tortillas… My friend’s margarita with the Corona took forever to finish and must have had good quality tequila in it. As the meal wore on, the restaurant had more and more customers for a late Sunday lunch. It didn’t seem so empty and quiet as what you see from the outside, and it was nice seeing people coming in. I would definitely come back again or make a pickup order with the fam. Great job, employees!!“

“Finally found delicious tacos in the area since moving here. My family loved the food. Will be stopping more for our taco fix .“

“I stopped by this morning looking for an authentic Mexican breakfast. Everything was delicious . But the probably had the best refried beans and chorizo I ever had. The portion was huge enough for me to share with 3 others in my office. Looking forward to returning.“

“Food was ok , but they charge 3% even if you paid in cash , and depend what server are there's one of lady that she’s from Colombian , she’s so mean and rude !! And they charge 18% for 4 people , this isn’t right“

“That guy Timothy that left a review must be pretty ignorant. The owner of the franchise doesn't work their not is he a cashier. Dirty hands pouring drinks? Did he inspect the persons hands? Sometimes people just need to vent and be keyboard warriors. Anyway, this location is always clean and the service is usually fast but they are also short staffed cause no one wants to work anywhere. People doesn't realize that they also have to fill DoorDash and UberEATS and GrubHub orders. So please people, give them a break when your order is taking a while. Low on employees and mobile orders come in on the fly.“
