We've been coming here for a few years. It started in October 2019 when my parents were in town from out of state, where my now husband asked my father for permission to marry me. We've been coming ever since. We even order take our when passing through, and we don't live close by. We really enjoy their food. It's absolutely delicious. We highly recommend going there and eating their food.
We get the chicken quesadilla, black beans and white rice, and corn and bean empanadas. Delicious!!

Been going to this place since building the first one in Saugus in the 80’s. Since then til now I’ve ordered the same exact thing every time because it was amazing. The chicken burros were full of chicken and the margaritas were excellent. Well I don’t know what happened since the last time I went but they’ve gone way downhill. My burro had almost no chicken at all so bad I sent it back and didn’t bother ordering another one as my wife’s was the same thing. The sauce on it was burnt. The margaritas were nothing short of a virgin drink and tasted nothing like the ones they made for years. I haven’t been this disappointed since finding out Santa isn’t real. What a shame I’m so disappointed in what used to be our all time favorite place to eat.

Our food came out suspiciously quickly. I got food poisoning from a burrito. No wonder why this place has failed health inspections.

wow, what a bad experience! food for a party of 3 came out at 4 different times. Each time was waiting for it to be cooked, but everything came out freezing cold. Appetizer came out with the food & was wrong regardless. Waiter said he was getting refills & never came back. Had to ask a different server for the cold plate that was forgotten. Weird when you have to wait for a fajita plate to come out, but it comes out ice cold.

Absolutely love this place! I love any and all of their dishes, but the best by far is the French Quarter Chicken. Easily one of my very favorite things to eat! Also love the blackened chicken. And of course the Margaritas are to die for!!!

Parking: Huge parking lot so that's never an issue

Kid-friendliness: It's not a quiet atmosphere so it's perfect for the kids. Plenty of hi-chairs and crayons and pictures for them to play with while they wait for their food. And there's also plenty of TVs playing all kinds of sports to occupy the bigger kids and adults

Wheelchair accessibility: It has a nice and wide handicapped entrance

We were at the table directly behind the hostess station on 10/26 at night at about 7:30. As always, the food was amazing. But the real highlight was our waitress. I forgot her name, but she was GREAT! She was so kind to my young son and was very attentive to the table, especially considering that was very busy. She was wonderful and made our night! :)

Kid-friendliness: We love going here because there's enough space between tables to park our kid's stroller. We often see families here. Very family friendly place!

I went here with my disabled father and they were incredibly accommodating. From the hostesses to the servers and manager they made sure we had ensuring we needed. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is wide and flat. There are several tables that can handle a wheelchair. My father has a powered wheel chair.

This place offers some good Mexican cuisine. The food was flavorful and each dish had its unique taste. The blackened chicken, shrimp tacos, and quesadillas were our favorites. Our server was welcoming and friendly. The place has a nice lively vibe.

Always an amazing place to stop for authentic Mexican food. This place stands out like no other because of their unique dishes. They're far better than all the others, meaning they don't give you a dish and bury it in red sauce and cheese. These dishes stand out! Kick it up by adding their tasty and spicy Chipotle Lime Sauce, especially on a salad! Go if you appreciate Mexican food!
