Cold food, long wait for food, wrong order, terrible experience. They just seem like they don't care at all.

I tried to truly give the food the benefit of the doubt. But I feel ill and next time if my body is telling me not to eat something I just won’t. I work in a restaurant so I tried to be kind. But I from my experience won’t return. Unfortunately. The waiter was very sweet and food was made quick. I’m just not sure if the food was expired or what. Also the salsa for the chips taste like mozzarella sauce.

Was in Woburn for business and had a great late lunch. Carnitas were perfectly cooked and generous. Marco the bartender was a genial and professional server. I saw a comment that the salsa was like soup. I think it’s superior, obviously home made, and not like the Old El Paso the other reviewer has experience with. Highly recommended.

Here we go again, never question a fat kids choice of where to dine!

Do I have your attention?

We chose to eat here literally by chance. We are from out of town, Houston Texas to be clear and I think I may know a thing or two about good Mexican food.

We were not disappointed! The service was top notch, mirroring the food and yes the margaritas as well.

Francisco was or server and bar tender, I can't say enough good things about how well he took good care of us.

At his suggestion we started with ultimate margaritas and we chose the fiesta platter.

The Rita's are all made on the rocks and shaken, you know like James Bond,only Rita's, none of that frozen stuff here.

The platter was a very large plate with a variety of flavors. So large in fact that in order to try several more flavor of margaritas we ended up sharing an entree.

Wait .... what other margaritas you say? Well I'm glad you asked. We tried the Black Jack, and Rosarita both worth mentioning for sure!

We settled on sharing the Mole Chicken Enchiladas, it was the perfect blend for the evening.

So here we are at the end of my tale, I suggest you give them a try... you know just because I said.

Remember, I'm a fat kid and you don't get that way without trying !

This used to be my go-to place for Mexican food in the Woburn area. I’m not the kind of person who rushes to review a restaurant, I like to give places the benefit of the doubt, but I’ve been there recently, and the experience has been consistently disappointing.

There’s a mop smell on the tables, and the bathroom smells like no one takes care of it. It isn’t dirty, but it has a strong urine odor. Between the smell from the bathroom and the smell at the tables, I’ve had enough. It's hard to eat like that

The food wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t terrible either. However, the sour cream I ordered on the side was kind of warm, which is odd considering sour cream is normally served cool. I don’t know… but I don’t see myself eating there again any time soon, unless there are major changes in management and some much-needed cleaning.

Okay, I went for lunch and it was the waiters first day - no experienced staff to help him but he did his best so I cannot fault him. As I walked in the door and headed to the bar a strong smell of sour mop slapped me in the face! Gross! I felt odd about walking out since they only had 3 customers therefore I stayed to eat despite the smell. I asked the waiter for iced tea, He didn’t know where the iced tea was or if they served fresh brewed tea. I switched to a draft beer. I soon realized he didn’t know how to pour a beer and it kept foaming up. I then asked for a beer in a bottle to help him out. Finally, I ordered food, never received the complimentary chips & salsa but my food was okay. The guy next to me asked for the tv to be turned on but again, the new waiter didn’t know how to work it. In his defense, he tried but was not successful. I feel like lunchtime may not be your best time to have a new kid working solo with customers or representing your business. Doesn’t make me want to come back regardless of the time of day since it wasn’t the best experience.

I'm never wowed by the food, service, or atmosphere, but it's been consistently solid. They had a special 5 de mayo margarita menu which was cute. The portions are generous, so I'll keep coming back.

Food was average, service is very slow

They received a pickup order and the restaurant was closed when we arrived. No one picked up the phone as well. Unacceptable

Maybe it was the fact that I really disliked the refried beans, and it happened to be all over my entire sampler, is the reason for the poor score.

I came in with my husband for dinner on Friday night. The vibe of the whole place was awesome. Everyone was so friendly, the bar tender was absolutely adorable and made the best drinks for us, we loved her! The food was awesome. We have the steak street tacos and the Birria Tacos which aren’t on the menu but they’re advertised throughout the restaurant and the bartender recommended them to us. We will definitely be back, even to stop in for a quick drink!

First time going, reviews looked good so figured I'd give it a shot. We got takeout. Food was ready and hot when promised. Unfortunately the food was very bland. Got the chicken mole, chicken was way overcooked and mole sauce wasn't good at all. Daughter got the ground beef taco salad. The taco shell tasted terrible and the meat was unseasoned. Place was empty when I picked up the food which is never a good sign. Won't be going back.
