This has always been my favorite Mexican Restaurant in the area. This was the first time placing an order online and it was being brought to the front of the star as I was walking in. Great service.

The menu has changed. The service was so bad. Slow. Only 6 tables were occupied so it wasnt like they were short handed. Tea glass was empty without an offer for a refill the entire meal. Wait staff was standing around socializing. Corn shells holding my Mahi Mahi tacos were soggy and fell apart when i picked them up. I have never been so disappointed with this restraunt in all the times ive been there. Took an additional 20 minutes just to get a box for my food.

We have been going to the Valparaiso and Chesterton locations in the past and this Merrillville location was just as good. I believe they have 1 other in Munster area which we have not checked out yet.

We went on a weekday for lunch, shortly after they opened and there was no wait before we were seated. Our waiter came to get our drink orders shortly after we sat. Overall the time between our order taken and getting our food was under 20 minutes. They were not full but enough customers, yet they had adequate wait staff so our orders were delivered to table timely. We were starved when we got there, so we appreciated that.

Over-all customer service was good.

The food was consistent with what we expected from their other locations. It was well seasoned, presentation was great and the portions were generous. I like it when they incorporate serving food in unique bowls instead of the usual boring plates. To me that means, the food will not be bland so maybe that helps. All the little things, adds up. They have both regular tables and some booths, cozy and comfortable. They had music playing in the background but not too loud that you cant have a good conversation.

The price was fair for what you get. We ordered an appetizer and 2 main entrees with beverages and no dessert, our bill came to $75. We had enough left overs for another meal at home, so factoring that in, made the meal a deal.

Menu selection typical of most Mexican restaurants. I would classify this place as above average and is one of our favorites in North West Indiana to go out and have a meal.

The restaurant is attached to other businesses in a small strip so they share parking spaces, enough during the day we visited. It is right off I-30.

The inside decor was okay, nothing extraordinary. The entire facility was kept clean albeit the menus were a little sticky, but that might be a bit nit-picky for some, definitely not enough to knock down a star rating. I believe they deserve 5 stars all day long, for as hard as their staff work to elevate the customer experience. As always, staff can most times, make or break a business especially in areas of service delivery.

I had placed a smaller sized catering order for some sides for a party that I was having. Ruben was spectacular at making sure I had everything I needed even my strange request. Highly recommend this place. The service was above and beyond. Thank you!!

Classic sit down Mexican food place. Very clean, service was good, some of the better pastor tacos I've had in a while. Pricing was fair. Borderline irresponsible with their chips and salsa... There was a server waiting in the wings with a fresh basket of chips and a salsa refill ready to go any time we were getting low. I don't need three baskets of chips before dinner, but if they're there, I'm gonna eat them.
