First time visiting after a baseball game to celebrate my birthday this weekend. I had high hopes for this place. The salsa was good. The service was good. The restaurant was clean. One bite of my tamale told me they cooked and served spoiled pork! You knew it when you cooked it! I hate wasting food but this was left on the table. I won't be back.

Enchiladas! Of the chicken variety no less..... absolutely not too shabby! As requested, they are all white meat, decent sized, and the enchilada sauce was boss! Not too bad for a little independence hole in the wall Mexican joint. I will definitely consider going back in the future, and will be happy about it....although it would be more out of convenience than favorite dishes served hereVegetarian options: Definitely plenty of choices for those who don't eat the delicious meats....and food was tasty per my vegetarian GF.Parking: Easy and plentiful with open spaces all over.Wheelchair accessibility: Seemed to be an easy maneuver for handicapped needs.

we ordered a torta and the told us they didn't have the bread for the torta, so we ordered tacos instead. after sitting a while, they said they went to purchase the bread, but just began making the torta w/o telling us, so we could decide if we wanted both. they just charged us for both, we only ordered the tacos, because they didn't have the bread for the tortas. we also ordered 6 oysters and they only had 5, but still charged us for 6. the food was pretty good, but I feel like we were taken advantage of, we should have not been charged full price for the oysters, nor should they have made the tacos if they were going to get the bread for the torta.

Food was ok. It's not seasoned well but it's edible. If you don't like a lot of flavor you'll love it here. The wait time isn't bad but it could be just a tad bit better. It has a large dine in area and several tables. I'd say give it a try. I've had worse, but I've had better. I'd give it a 4/10. Love seasoning and I just don't feel they marinated or seasoned the meats. Their chips and salsa was the highlight of my meal. Their spicy salsa was the bomb!

My daughter took me to lunch here today and the food was very good. The chips were warm and had just the right amount of salt, the salsa was thick & had just enough heat to be enjoyable. We had a 16 Oz margarita for $5.99 that was as smooth and good as anywhere I’ve ever had. Daughter had a lunch plate with a taco (beef, plenty of meat) a chicken enchilada (said she thought the chicken could have used some seasoning & black beans. I had lunch chicks. Fajitas with rice & beans. Very generous portions. Came with shredded lettuce, pico, guacamole & sour cream. The chicken was seasoned very well & cooked with peppers & onions. I. Roughy about half home with me. The waitress was friendly and our food came out fairly quick and was fresh and hot. The ambiance isn’t anything special, but it was clean and well lit. We will be going back.

Called to make an order. Apparently they have loud men talking so loud the girl on the phone could not even hear me. So I guess one star I hung up after repeating myself 3 times to “what? What?” Maybe the foods good I’ll never know.Edit finally tried it adabado tacos, meat burnt to a crisp like rocks, super greasy and gross. Tossed it in the trash.

It was delivered but the atmosphere in my living room was great - so was the food, and large portions. Delivery was fast and kudos to the delivery guy, the house is kind of hard to find. Go with the Chimichanga (sp) it was
