As much as I’d love to leave a 1 star review, I can’t because the food is actually good…when you get what you ordered.

Lately, we have not had good experiences here.

We have learned to call ahead for take out. Today, the phone rang and rang. Tried again, same thing. Once more and straight to voicemail. Why? This has happened the last few times we have tried to call ahead.

If you don’t call ahead, be VERY PREPARED for a 30 minute wait time at the least.

Now if nobody is answering phones, or the phones are broken which was the excuse tonight, how can I sit in my vehicle and watch car after car come in, pick up their food and leave? That would mean they called ahead, right?

At this point I’m convinced they have caller id and numbers to not answer. Maybe because they made an order wrong before and blamed the customer?

After the 30 minute wait tonight I couldn’t wait to get home and eat my chicken tacos and French fries. To my surprise the fries were cooked long before the tacos. Soggy as your grass when the weather breaks. The tacos? Not even what I ordered. How do I end up with BEEF tacos when I ordered CHICKEN? Not the first but definitely the last.

Would have called and complained but y’all hardly answer the phones so that wouldn’t have done anything.

I guess I need to drive across town for tacos anymore. Which is a shame considering this is less than a 1/4 mile from home.

Do better.

The food tasted good, but we spent the entire meal parched. Our waters were gone before the entrees even hit the table, and nobody ever checked in. No napkins either, so I just sat there, thirsty and saucy. Great food, prices were great but I would rather pay more for better service at a different restaurant. but I won’t be coming back after this experience. If you dine here bring your own water bottle.

Their homemade salsa is the best. I could drink it. The pozole did not disappoint, it was flavorful, just the right amount of spice, and meaty! Everyone walked away very satisfied with their food.

Normally the regular ground beef are good. The steak is tough and chewy. I'll just be hungry tonight

It’s hard for them to understand your order over the phone ever time I call it’s a problem with them when I pick my food up
