I always pre-order and pick up through the drive-thru. But sometimes when I call and I'm trying to explain or ask for a certain item the person on at the restaurant sometimes don't understand what I'm saying. But I just roll with it but I make sure that my order is correct before leaving

All around fantastic experience! Their chile relleno is a whole poblano pepper in the creamiest, melty cheese and delightful sauce. The pollo dish we ordered is a flavor fest (but I forgot the name)! Very friendly staff. Served very quickly. Added plus, their frozen margarita was delicious (and can be ordered in a pitcher).

They meet you at the door when you walk in, they all have great attitudes, the salsa was fantastic, and the food was amazing. They are right across the street from my motel, so I am looking forward to eating there again soon!!
