I have been coming to this place since I was a little kid. So many great memories here! It's great to now take my kids to this spot! Come for the queso! Stay for the fajitas!

Always great! Food drinks and service are excellent. Food is fantastic. Fish tacos, chicken quesadillas, and any of the fajitas are great. Some of the best homemade chips anywhere in the North

Returned to an old fave (with my ?% favorite gal ❣️ after pandemic and other earth-shaking happenings... True comfort food - immediately familiar, and as good as ever - and comfortable, with the oldies I can discern even through the low roar of conversation - All this after more than a year away: Boom!Aaah! Now THAT'S what I call "Back to Normal"!

The quality has fallen off a cliff in the past couple years and now their kitchen is so poorly run they can't make a taco without beef.Beef is the first thing you put in a taco, just don't put it in if the guest is vegetarian or Hindu and fill it with the rest of the ingredients. The fact that the simplest substitutions are now verboten tells me the kitchen is poorly run and cooks aren't trainedEat at your own risk because food safety is one of the first things to go by the wayside when a kitchen suffers a brain drain.Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian menu, no substitutions or removals on meat dishes, no vegan options (you could make dishes vegan before, but no substations rule means it's impossible now)Dietary restrictions: Limited vegetarian menu, no substitutions or removals on meat dishes, no vegan options (you could make dishes vegan before, but no substations rule means it's impossible now)

They expanded their menu a tad which is great. I'm still hoping to see fried catfish come back on the menu. Fajitas are great but the onions that come with them are top notch...you can ask for extra onion but they put it on the side so best to share. The wait staff is always polite and competent. I've been going here since it opened way back when. Get there early if you are going to dinner. Great place to bring kids because it's loud but not distractingly loud. I guess if your child has autism this might be a tough place to go, lots of movement and noise.

Ate at the bar. Drinks were good but the food was not. The queso dip was as loose as soup. My beef burro, which was my favorite in the past, was beyond spicy hot. It was hard to get down. The beans were like paste. The bartender was very nice but inattentive and never came over to see how the food was. When I mentioned it to her at the end, she told the manager who did nothing and never even came over. I won't be back any time soon. Too bad. Use to love it and it was previously consistently good. Not any more.
