My family and I love coming in here for the food and atmosphere. We often bring a good sized group and the staff are always happy to see us. The service is excellent and we'll keep coming back.

I have frequented this restaurant with my family and until tonight I always had decent experiences. But tonight they lost three customers tonight and I’ve told my family. First and foremost we were ignored for 5-10 minutes before taking a drink order. One person in my party they forgot her drink and it took an additional 5 minutes. One person in our party asked for napkins and that never arrived. The table to the right of us left because they were ignored and the table to the left of us also had to wait 10+ minutes to have their order taken. I ordered enchiladas and both mine and my friends were cold on the inside. To top it off mine tasted off. Like something wasn’t right and I’ve ordered the same dish before. So I told our server who basically rudely said “so you just don’t like it”. I said no that something was wrong and I didn’t know if it was the chicken or what. “So you just don’t like it.”. No! I explained very graciously again that something tasted rancid or off. I asked for the same dish but cheese instead of the chicken. It came out…cheese not melted, sauce lukewarm and I bit into again and it was the mole sauce. It tasted fishy like seaweed and I’ve never ever had it taste like that before. I ended up just scraping the sauce off because I was starving and annoyed. Then we went to pay our bills and mine was $24 and some change and I gave the server $30. She brought me back $5 and no change. I don’t care if it was $.01 or $.99 that is theft. I didn’t say you could keep the change I asked for my change. If this server is doing this to multiple people then she’s making a lot more. I would’ve left no tip but I am not a jerk. It’s sad because the owner is nice. I will NEVER set foot in your establishment again.

This place is disgusting. I've seen bugs running on the bar top.And when I told the staff they got extremely rude and mean with me. I would never go to this place again. Please stay far away not to mention they made my food wrong three

Service was quite slow. One of our party was served the wrong entree. When it was brought to the waitress’s attention, her reply was something like “Oh, we were out of that so I brought you something different.” She should have advised the customer earlier and asked what she would want instead.

I don't know where to begin with this review. It was just one debacle after another. Online order for pick-up. We pulled up at the restaurant to pick up our order, at the time it said it'd be ready, only to get a phone call saying they don't have one of the items we ordered. Umm...why weren't we notified/called when the order was placed? Ok, so I choose another item and hang out in the waiting area for ten minutes. Then the waitress comes up to me to ask if we'd want something different/quicker than the item we chose as a replacement. Ummm, seems like the order should be done or close to done already, why would I have them start over??!? So, I relent and choose yet another replacement--this time a simple shredded chicken taco. A few minutes later, I get the bags handed to me, all tied up as tight as a bear trap, so I can't check the accuracy of the order without ripping the bags to shreds. I notice that we are missing our drink. So I have to wait for that, again. Upon arrival at home, we discovered that we didn't get one of our items, and low and behold, our original replacement order was in there, not the 2nd replacement choice??? I really don't understand what was going on at that restaurant. They were not busy, either. There was one lone customer dining in when I arrived.Anyways, to the food: it was bland as bland can be. The steak fajitas were thick cut strips, unnaturally thick. Not conducive to be eaten without a knife. Burritos were just sad; huge, but sad. My mouth cried at the lack of flavor of any of the ingredients. Chips and salsa were ok.Hard pass on a return trip for any Mexican food hankering we may have. Certainly wasn't worth the $$$.

Ordered the puffy tacos. Terrible shell and very little inside. The place itself could use a good cleaning. I will not go back.

The food and service are not good at all, not to mention I do not recommend it.

We ordered a Long Island iced tea and it was horrible after one sip and they charged us for half still. The chips and salsa were not free and wasn’t good at all. We left after one sip and 3 chips and we’re stil charged $13. Save your money. I’d eat from the garbage before eating there again.

We arrived an hour before their closing time, just needed a quick easy dinner. Exterior of building and parking lot area was extremely dark...not many cars, so we called to make sure they were still open. Our waitress seemed pleasant at first but it was obvious she wanted us the heck out of there.... she had her coat on the whole time and was constantly asking us if we were ready for to - go boxes and the bill. It was all very awkward and uncomfortable....I wanted to order a couple extra dishes for carryout to have for my disabled daughter for lunch the next day since she's very picky but will actually EAT Mexican food.... but there was NO way I was going to add that to the bill. Food is good though. We've eaten there for years, mostly carry-out on weekends. This was a Wednesday night, so apparently on a weekday/night its a different vibe.
