I been a customer for over 4 years and as always Jesenia and Gigi service is amazing! They have the greatest customer service ever. I have all my family come and visit this place for food and drinks. The food quality is great.
The only thing is they need to focus on the bathroom ceiling and doors that don’t lock. Maybe fresh paint and new dining table and chairs. Other than that thanks to the staff behind the kitchen, jesenia and Gigi. Btw thank you Jesenia for helping...

Food was great. The bartender was awesome and the food was fresh. Fajitas were the best that I’ve ever tried and the prices are good.

Kid-friendliness: Took my 3 year old there and there were no issues.

This is my favorite tex-mex place. They're Carne esada with glazed onions is SO good I could die everytime I take a bite. It's never been too busy when I've went which I love, especially since I have a screaming toddler and people stare. The ay jalisco in Gaithersburg of snoufferschool has no comparison to this one, the other one (being honest) sucks. But this one's the best texmex I've ever had.
