This place has been a favorite for a long, long time. Their recipes are a little different than the typical Mexican restaurant, but consistently high quality, fresh and really tasty. It will be a personal thing whether you like it better or not, but I recommend you give it a try and decide for yourself.

W'eve been eating here for years and have always, ALWAYS had great food. We love the atmosphere and the staff. Wouldn't eat at any other Mexican restaurant because this fits the bill every time.And their prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get.

Decorations were fun and whimsical, and the service was fine.

The tortilla chips were unusually thick, and the chimichanga didn’t come with queso — just melted shredded cheese. I’ve never been offered enchilada sauce with a chimichanga before, but I asked for it on the side. It tasted like it came straight from a can. The rice was more like plain white rice than Mexican rice. The shredded beef in the chimichanga was decent and plentiful.

The menu was difficult to read, cluttered with separate cash and card prices listed for every item.

They advertise authentic Mexican food, but that wasn’t my experience on this visit. I left about as hungry as when I arrived.

Really disappointing.

A true hidden gem feels lost in time from 30 years ago in a good way

This place has the best Mexican food I've had in the area. We ordered the fajitas and they were fantastic. Service was also fantastic. We had a pretty big party and the waitress was right on everything and very attentive. Will be going back soon.

Well, it's set up to be a mexican restaurant and they serve what looks like mexican food.

We went on a Saturday night and we're the youngest people there.. by 30 years. There was an older man singing ( he was a good singer) but he sang 4os/50s music and just wasn't the vibe of a mexican restaurant.

The salsa and queso were bland. The rice and beans had alot of weird seasonings to it, like Italian seasoning or something that just doesn't belong in mexican food. The street tacos were odd. They add a taco sauce to your tacos that was like a tomato sauce with minimal flavor.. The quac was pretty good. The fajita burrito was okay, nothing special.

Our server was nice and helped us when it was needed. I am just very confused why this has a 4.5 star rating. It wasn't the best and definitely NOT 4.5 star worthy.

Not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Taco salad consisted of store bought shell, ground beef (no flavor), chopped iceburg lettuce and black olives. It's more the type of Mexican food you make at home using taco kits. Service was nice. Food just wasn't authentic
