Highly recommend the cheese steak taco dinner, the best steak tacos I’ve ever had! Ive ordered online, ordered over the phone and sat inside, and had great service every time! The food is also very affordable compared to neighboring Mexican restaurants.

Good bathrooms, too many people

Not a pleasant experience, will probably be our last visit. Too much to list here, I’ll play nice and just say hopefully your visit is much better if you decide to go.

Worst experience today. Never had this problem before. For a person with agoraphobia, social anxiety, ptsd and depression the way I was treated today by 2 of the waitresses makes me never want to come this place again and we have friends there. One being Nacho.

Food was overcooked, we ordered fajitas which usually come sizzling. They were obviously left in the kitchen too long and then had to ask twice for utensils. Our waitress finally showed up with flatware probably 10 minutes after our food. Worst service.

Best Mexican Food in the Region by Far!

Great authentic Mexican option. Their beans and rice is to die for and warm every time. Talk about those steak tacos! Delicious. Perfect chicken quesadilla. Satisfying and liking every time. Perfect spicy Sprite too.

We have been pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant that truly treats us to our California memories. AAA in every way.

I’m not the type of person to give a bad review based solely on one experience, but, my most recent experience was very nerve wrecking. I’ve ordered from this location before and the other locations several times. We ordered just one order (3) birria tacos and an order of flan, and placed it online. We ordered it at 6, showed up a little after 6:40, and the order still wasn’t made. I tried to be considerate of the fact that they were busy, but even then, a lot of other customers and I that were waiting felt a little bit annoyed as some had been waiting there for longer. Our order came a little after 7, and they still put cheese on the tacos and assured me that they didn’t. I didn’t go back because the place was too packed, but I ultimately couldn’t eat it. It smelled great, it looked great, but it was made wrong and the service was a little inconvenient. Still, a great place I feel for most days, but not perfect.

Tried calling and ordering multiple times. No answer. Tried ordering online but it didn’t work. Finally drove up there and went in to order. The lady working the counter was clearly annoyed as soon as I said I wanted to place a to go order she huffed and puffed. Then I asked if they would bring it out (They gave that option when ordering online but ordering online didn’t work) and she said they didn’t do that. Didn’t take long to make but when I got home to eat it (Got the Jalisco) literal slop in a to go container. More liquid than anything and no shells came with it like it was supposed to. Wouldn’t eat there again.

This place is fantastic perfect mix between authentic and Americanized Mexican food. Service is always A+, and they've got the Cantina vibe down pat!
