Stopped here after a long hike. Parking lot was packed as was the restaurant food is pretty typical for Mexican food, but I do prefer places farther down on Patton. Service is OK. A customer dropped salsa and ended up cleaning it up even though service team seen them cleaning it up. They didn’t offer any help. Two tables around us ended up getting in a little disgruntled argument as one was a younger group who were enjoying their Friday night and another was a family enjoying theirs, tequila, and beer. Don’t always get the best of people in a restaurant and a busy one at that.

Had their chili poblano. One of the best I’ve ever had. Very nice chili flavor, not the typical cardboard taste from a prepped, frozen and reheated relleno.

Our waitress was a friendly, competent young woman. The food was awful. My husband's Aztec fajita was overcooked and nearly inedible. My bean burrito was pure grey liquid; the cheese quesadilla had almost no cheese.
Sad. I hope this is unusual but we won't be back to find out.

The food was disgusting and extremely overpriced. I paid over $18 for shrimp fajitas and they went in the trash. The shrimp had the texture of chicken. It was soooo overcooked. No flavor, no seasoning… I’ve traveled all over the country and this is the nastiest food I’ve ever had. Not to mention they messed my order up. I spent almost $60 for trash. We will definitely not go back.

They’re nice to you if you’re white but you should see the difference in how they treat my husband who is brown. They also charged us for the side of rice we wanted and then didn’t give us any: Our “bean “ dip was queso with a tiny splash of beans (see picture). They also didn’t include limes for the tacos, even though they usually do and it was requested. Disappointed.

This place is rude, unprofessional and completely not good. Food is not satisfying nor if something is not good you ask them to take it off, attitude and rude demeanor. The cashier had an attitude and my waitress was very unprofessional and nasty. Do not go here.
