I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times and never had I had a bad experience. I tried something new this time going. Now being that this was something new I was told that all of the topping would be separate from the food. My request was that it put in different container’s because of my tomatoe allergy. The food came out and of course it was all together and had tomatoes on it. I called over the server to get a new order. He left with the food and came right back. The kitchen staff simply picked out the tomatoes and sent the dish back out. I could tell that it was just picked out because some tomatoes pieces were left in the food. I then asked for the manager and explained what took place. He simply removed the dish and apologized and walked away. This was very disappointing for me because after informing them of the tomato allergy it was completely ignored. Thank god I paid close attention or this could have ended much worst. Please get better when your playing with peoples lives after being informed about an allergy. If that was something that they couldn’t do I would have simply ordered something else.

Been on a quest for good Mexican like we had in Ohio and this was exactly what we were looking for! The Chimichangas were seasoned wonderfully and the Chori Pollo was perfect! Great, quick and friendly service. The Coconut margarita hit the spot!! Our new go to place for Mexican!

I had ordered a taco salad for lunch pickup. The restaurant is clean and the service was wonderful. The salad was really big and very good with fresh veggies, meat, refried beans.

Was working close and decided to try this restraunt for lunch. It seemed to be a bit dated inside. Was greeted right away and seated. The service and food were both pretty good. Big menu to choose from. They offer a big lunch menu and combinations to choose from. Also, offer a dinner menu as well. Pretty good Mexican restraunt.

One of, if not the, best Mexican restaurants in the area. I go here as often as I can.Ask for their house hot sauce. It's delicious.

Where do I begin? Took ten minutes to be greeted by the owner for our drink order. Chips were stale, salsa was bland. The meal was ok. The guacamole tasted like smashed avocado with no seasoning. The atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon included a loud drunk telling stories in the bar. This place does not come close to the posted reviews. So disappointing.

My coworker and I decided to go have dinner and drinks after work as it is very close to our job. I have ate here via door dash so it seemed like a good idea. The food was okay, but seems to come out suspiciously quick. When I would ask for things the server gave off an annoyed attitude. We felt rushed as the server brought us our check without asking if we wanted anything else or how the check was being paid out. When we informed her that we would like another drink and that the check needed to be spilt. She asked how it was to be split and still split it incorrectly. The whole experience let me know I would not be returning. Not worth the money I spent for sure.
