Worst food I've ever eaten. The owner was incredibly rude. Would not recommend to even my enemies.

Traveling through from out of town and decided to try this place out. I’m not sure they have any idea on what Mexican food actually is. The menu is simple, nothing phenomenal, just the “basics.” However, everything we tasted hardly had any flavor or spice. The salsa tasted like pizza sauce, soggy enchiladas, the rice was mush, the ground beef was gray and just as mushy as the rice, and the “queso” was bean juice with shredded cheese you mix in. Overall, the worst “Mexican” food I’ve ever eaten.

Run don’t walk away from this so called Mexican restaurant. I have never been so disappointed. Rice was mush. One salsa tasted like pizza sauce. Meat in the tacos. …well just ugh all the way around Went to Braun’s after to get a sherbert just to get the taste out of our mouths. So if u go you have been warned ..

Took my kids for Cinco de Mayo. Restaurant was clean and modestly decorated. Seating took a bit since it was busy for a small restaurant. The three servers seemed to struggle a little bit to cover their tables. We were asked if we needed menus which was a first for me but there seemed to be a few regulars who didn’t need to see the menu. The queso dip is not queso dip, it’s basically spicy bean juice with cheese added to it. My daughter had an enchilada/taco plate. My son had a taco/burrito and a side of rice & beans. I had the Huevos Rancheros. The taco meat was mushy and bland, the burrito was a soggy mess of beans in a tortilla and the rice was extremely over cooked. My daughter said the enchilada was okay and the Huevos Rancheros were alright. Food was expensive for the poor quality. Would not eat here again or recommend to others.

Love their guacamole. They have the best but you gotta get in early or they will run out. This place hasn't changed in over 30 years. It would be nice to see some updates and new seats. The current aren't comfortable.

They don't skimp on the cheese! The free queso was a nice surprise and tasty as well! Super casual and laid back. Love it...Only open for a few hours for lunch and then again for dinner, but when they ARE open, they deliver way decent food!

Just left there and food was NOT GOOD SERVICE WAS NOT GOOD Never once came to check on us cashier never asked how was your food very disappointed won't be back cheese dip looked NOTHING like cheese dip just very frustrating

The cheese dip thing was good, but this is pretty much a grease pit for Mexican food. 99% of the ingredients in each dish is cheese; no real flavors besides that. The beans are pretty bland, little bit of iceberg lettuce sometimes, but this was my first and last time. They do seem popular and busy, however. You'll get way more flavor at a place like Casa Fiesta.

I've been wanting to try this restaurant since I noticed the good reviews a couple of years ago. Today was finally the day. What a let down. Food is not made from scratch and served lukewarm at best. Granted, there was a good quantity of food for the price, but there are better Mexican restaurants in town.
