Fast, friendly, and tasty. We arrived right when they opened and were greeted with smiles from all of the employees. We had a pretty large party. The food arrived quickly without any problems 😋

Must try place. Friendly staff and very clean inside. Food prices and portions are spot on. Great variety of lunch specials. My new favorite place to stop at on a Friday afternoon

Drinks here are great. I can't say the same for the food. Maybe it's what I had. I ordered the chicken taco salad and the chicken was boiled and shredded with no seasonings. It didn't have any beans and the lettuce was stale. I sent it back and ordered a steak taco with flour tortilla and that is all it was. Nothing but steak and flour tortilla. It's been a while since I have been here but I would not be back.

I visited today and ordered their Margarona. The menu shows it with a full Corona, but what I received was a smaller Coronita instead. That’s a noticeable difference in both size and alcohol content, yet nowhere was it explained that smaller drinks come with smaller bottles. This feels misleading, especially since the main draw of the drink is the Corona itself.

On top of that, the presentation wasn’t consistent with the menu image. Instead of a clean, frozen margarita with the bottle inverted, I got a clip holding the bottle and a floating rubber duck. More gimmicky than the sleek drink advertised.

Another thing to note: the Google menu shows prices like $4.99 entrées and $6.49 lunch specials, which are clearly outdated and not what you’ll pay in 2025. That can be confusing for new customers who expect those deals.

Overall, the food and drinks may be fine, but the way things are advertised versus what you actually get leaves the wrong impression. Transparency would go a long way — list whether it’s a Coronita or Corona, and update the online menu to reflect real prices.

When they ask if you want more chips and salsa make sure to decline unless you’re ready to pay $2 for chips and $2 for salsa. $4 for both every time they bring more out. Unacceptable.

Excellent Nachos Carbon!!! Great prices. My new favorite restaurant. 😊

Worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. Will never go back. Felt like we was falling forward out of our seat. All of us ended up getting our food to go and leaving as soon as it came to the table.

Now this is REAL Mexican food. The kind I remember living next to Baja California. Comida estuvo increíble.
