“May try it out again but it was mediocre. The service and quickness was great. Husband got steak and chicken street tacos, BLAND. No flavor especially the shredded chicken. Bean soup was good. I got steak fajitas which steak was pretty good so my dish had flavor. Guac was great too. What was VERY disappointing was I got DENIED by my request of corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas with my meal. NEVER have I been to a Mexican restaurant and been (literally) told NO. Server was great but To make the experience REALLY AWKWARD was the fact that instead of getting your bill your server stands there waiting for you to pay them and if paying in cash they’ll stand there and NOT give you your change back. I was waiting for my change (so I could manage out her tip) and she just stood there so I got out more cash for her tip then decides to walk away. Very uncomfortable so you may want to change your checking out routine.“

“I haven't had the opportunity to eat there yet. But the smell enamorating outside of that business is mouth-watering. There's customers going in and out no matter what time of the week it is. They have a couple of picnic tables right next to the establishment. It's never an empty seat most of the time real talk. Latin food is big business in this area and competition is stiff. To have consistent traffic has to have something to do with the quality of the food. The employees and owners were very nice and welcoming to a Google Maps photographer like myself so thanks. I am rewarding them with a 5 star review not only based off the kindness of how they treated me, but also the aroma, AND the consistent traffic that they create. I recommend!!!“

They also had a variety of drinks/smoothies which I appreciated. The food was good but greasy. I did enjoy the sauces but not as spicy as I would like. They had an outdoor area, but it just had umbrellas, so you had to sit strategically to get out of the sun.“

This time we came in before the buffet and got our food within 10 mins. Some of it packs some heat so be sure to ask if it is spicy. Friendly staff and the owner is the sweetest.
