Strangest server that was Asian but was trying to act like she was from Mexico and didn't understand English very well for our group of 12. Food was not very flavorful, I ordered three taco combo plate and all 3 meats were dry and uneventful. Pitcher of house margarita was super lime, like way overboard on like and hardly any tequila in it.

Enjoyed our meal. Food is always consistently good. (We've never gotten bad food!) Waitress was not terribly attentive to our drinks but was otherwise good. In all fairness we were there at 8:00 PM.
February 2024
We went on taco Tues and expected a wait. They were busy but still fit us in quickly. The portions are huge! If you're traveling, as we were, you may want to share. It was very tasty as well. Open a little later and close enough to all the hotels. Try them.
