Lunch portion size has seen considerable shrinkflation. In my estimate it's about 25% less food than 6 months ago.

I very rarely eat fast food but when I do this is my go-to spot.
Very friendly workers and great food.

The food is bland and that's putting it nicely, the drinks are bad and the customer service sucks! I hadnt been there in years because my last few experiences there were horrible. Tasteless food, rude employees and hair in the food! I wish i would've stayed away a few more years! The food is bad and they do not accommodate for their errors. On top of that there was hair in the food (again) and they refused a refund. The only reason they're still in business is because they're only one of 2 or 3 mexican restaurants in merrillville.

The service was terrible. I’m a server myself so I still tipped 18 percent. Ordered to go for my family at home. First of all 30.00 for 9 tacos is wild behavior, but anyway I payed 30.00 for 9 steak tacos and 27.00 for 9 chicken tacos. Only received 6 chicken and 6 steak tacos. They asked me to go count again. Can count to 9 in English and Spanish. I can speak both. They advertised this lovely taco salad, mine was nowhere near the picture. Barely any lettuce. Never offered to take care of anything. Added on extra cost for extra sides when we received dry ass meals. The only halfway decent item was the margarita and I feel like they spike the drinks in order for you to stomach the food. Never again and on Mexican Independence Day? Shame on you!

Griselda M was our server at the time of our visit we occasionally come here for tacos and the sampler platter. To start off our visit she threw the straws at my boyfriend and met us with an unnecessary attitude as we haven’t even began our orders yet. Upon placing the order she rushed passed my man while he was still stating what he would like to eat. She failed ro come back to the table after our food was brought out leaving us to request service from surrounding servers for simple requests as a cup of water and napkins. Mind you she was just walking back and forth and sitting up front on the bench on her phone. We came in all smiles and left disappointed. We were used to great food and great service but Griselda left us with a bad taste in our mouth as she acted as if she didn’t want to work .
