This could possibly be the worst meal I have ever had. I’m not even kidding. Avoid it like the plague. The beef tasted like they over seasoned it with 5 extra packets of homemade Taco Bell seasoning. Taco Bell would have been a 5 star restaurant after eating here. The chips are not chips. Not sure what they are. And waitress compared something on the menu to Spaghetti Os. No corn tortillas either. I just didn’t get it. I guess I’m spoiled in AZ with good Mexican food. The Dr Pepper and the Andes mint they gave with our bill were the best parts of the meal. Waitress was good.

The blandest "Mexican food" I've ever partially eaten in my ENTIRE life!!! The salsa is more bland than the starting base for your Nonnas spaghetti sauce, the cheese dip is comparable to powdered mac & cheese sauce (mac & cheese sauce actually has better consistency) and both are far overpriced. The server was semi-competent, but her personality was as bland as the food. I'd suggest skipping this self-proclaimed "hidden gem," but I'm not your momma.. If you decide that you want to be disappointed, do take your own seasoning but also expect to be nickel and dimed for sub-par whatever it is this place serves, because it's not Mexican food..

It is a shame that the downtown location is gone, but the current location still rocks.
The food is all made in-house, and chips are not from a factory. The hotel sauce on the table is unique and delicious.
Service is outstanding with attentive and friendly servers. Your cup will never go empty!
