It's a shame they charge you extra for paying with a debit card. I haven't used cash for anything in over 20 years. It's not my job to pay for your operating costs. I won't be back.

Traditionally a good place to eat. However, lately there have been so many price increases it's prohibitive. What wants to pay $20 for a plate of fajitas or $4.50 for a cheese enchilada. A piece of cheese and a tortilla. Cost? Maybe 75 cents. So long, El Azteca!

This is our family's go to restaurant. We can get in quickly and always live the food. We live about 1/2 hour away but worth the drive.

Well, out running errands and decided to stop for the first time as I had never been there. Had never heard anything good or bad.
Waitress takes me to a table in an empty building (besides one small group of teens) and set me under a mini split dripping water on the table. I politely ask to move and move to a corner not under a dripping a/c. No big deal, it’s hot, and normal but in an empty place why set me there? Seeing it when you place me?
Aside from above, everything seems fine at first, slow early evening and my first time here. I live within 30 minutes but just never stopped in. I was by myself as my family is on vacation. I’m glad I was alone and would be embarrassed if I had brought my family there.
First off the salsa is amazing! Hot salsa is even better.
Figured I would go safe since I’ve never been there and ordered some steak and chicken fajitas. Was asked if I wanted cheese dip, and of course. Waitress asked yellow or while and brought me some white cheese dip when I said yellow. The sign said authentic Mexican food… Mexico doesn’t have cheese dip it’s an American thing but delicious.
I wanted to try their version of a yellow cheese dip away from just white melted American cheese and cream common in the area. Ofcouse I’ve had American style rotel and sausage dip in varieties of recipes. Who knows what they’re bringing. Full disclosure my wife is Hispanic and I travel to Mexico regularly to visit here family. She was on vacation with our children and I had to stay behind for work.
The white cheese dip, well it was okay, not bad but not great or what I ordered. I politely inquired and she told me “it’s the same”. In my mind I wonder “why ask me then or have it on the menu?” If it’s the same?
Anyhow, not a big deal. Life goes on and it wasn’t terrible. Just not what I ordered.
So my food comes and it’s not what I ordered, they brought me a burrito with some burnt pieces of gristle that could have been left over carne asada and cold fries inside. Also inside was a ton of sour cream and that’s it in a cold tortilla. Clearly not fajitas. I politely explained that I did not order this and was told “okay, one moment”. I was the only person there besides a group of teens previously mentioned who already got their order since they were there before.
Sorry, I will eat a lot of things and not complain but I won’t eat grizzle and cold fries. You can make this up, she brought me the same thing! I politely said “miss, this is the same thing and I ordered fajitas”. So she brought me a check.
I did not eat the food and proceeded to the front to pay. Not only did they charge me for BOTH MEALS! It was more than the menu price for whatever they brought. She boxed the items and brought it to me.
Then!!! On my receipt. It showed a connivence fee for paying with a debit card. When I asked about this I had already been charged and never told about it. The man behind the counter asked “how was everything?” I politely explained I'm not sure I didn’t get what I ordered. And what I was brought I didn’t like.
10/10 would never recommend this place to someone I loathed!
I’m not sure how the food is, but the orders I was brought I tried and it was terrible. Granted it wasn’t even what I ordered or wanted though. So maybe or maybe not. Who would want to eat a burrito with cold fries and grizzle? Not me.

Plenty of food. Just wasn't very flavorful. Their Internet was down, so had to pay with cash, not a big deal. Our waitress was great

Food is really good, service is super friendly. The only thing I found disagreeable is what they call a California burrito. At this restaurant that means carne asada, refried beans, Mexican rice, and cheese sauce on top.
A proper California burrito (I lived in San Diego for 17 years) consists of carne asada, french fries, Pico de gallo, guacamole, and shredded cheese... That's really my only gripe. Everything else is good.
