13 tables seated when I arrived, not packed, but not slow. Within in 6 min, I had drinks and chips n salsa in front of me, ordered my appetizer and entree, 3 chips and 2 sips in, and my appetizer is here with the entree hot on its tail. I travel all over for my job, and in love finding Mexican restaurants and trying their take on chilli collorado, this place nailed it, different than most but excellent. I would of taken a pic but it was gone before I thought of it. Everything was expertly prepared. Even the salsa was unique to others I've had. Good job guys.

This place was really bad. The food was not good, my meal was very small and expensive like $14 for bad food. The complimentary chips were stale and they were very hesitant to give us a refill of them… Don’t come here!

Delicious food but if you order takeout or an online order, check it before you leave the store because guaranteed you’re missing something.

Very disappointing experience for my first visit here. My food was missing almost half of it. Good food, just wish I would have gotten a full serving.

Ordered Texas fajita nachos and was disappointed in the portions of steak, chicken and shrimp in this dish. It was embarrassing miniscule.

It's fairly standard Mexican fare, but really quite good. The service is excellent, with wait staff who have a great sense of humor. I would recommend.

We tried this because someone had said it was good and they were not wrong. The service was excellent The food was amazing. We love hot sauce and they brought us multiple types of homemade hot sauces that were so good. Everything that was outstanding and delicious. Definitely going to have to go back sooner than later!

Meat was dry. We ordered the fajita with shrimp chicken and beef. No flavor.
Fajita cheese dip was runny like soup. I do not recommend

Highly disappointed with this particular establishment. Visiting from out of town and it seemed promising, however it wasn't. Waitress was slow and kept you waiting for longer periods, even though they weren't busy and when the food arrived was cold and very bland. Definitely don't recommend but that's a choice one will have to make because only sharing my experience. While the enclosed photo does show a promising and fulfilling meal don't be deceived as I was.
