Worst Mexican food I've ever had. I know it's not authentic first of all but for the prices they charge it could be way better. The salsa is horrible. Tastes like a store bought taco mix packet. Consistency is way too watery as well. Food is horrible with no flavor at all!! Prices are crazy for what you're being served. Very low quality ingredients. Whoever thinks this place is good, definitely has no taste buds lol the foods not even decent. They just serve up whatever cause they know the people who come here will pay and are used to bland food... I'll leave it at that. Avoid , don't waste your time and money.

If I could give 0 stars I would. The salsa was awful - super watery and not one tomato to be had....ordered a chicken quesadilla....who can mess up a chicken quesadilla??? I was stuck on the disgustingly soggy tortilla from the pico I asked not to be put on my quesadilla... I watched a bug crawl up the window from the inside I was so unimpressed - I returned the food and left. On the way out, stopped in the restroom and there was a line of us waiting to use it and a male staff member walked right in...while we were in there and went into the stalls to replenish toilet paper - a lady in line looked at me and said "that's pretty uncommon, isn't it?" I'm never going back - I felt bad I put my husband through it

Where to start... Ok, watery salsa and not much flavor. Then i ordered Carnitas tacos, I love good carnitas. These were terrible. They came in soft shells that were slimy and soggy, almost gelatinous. Felt like a wet dish rag in my hand. I ended up taking the 'carnitas' out of them and eating that with a fork. It was diced up really small and not very good either. That was $16! My wife had ranchero combo which consisted of the toughest leather thin piece of meat and 4 shrimp. That was $26 - for lunch. I think the cow must have walked all the way from Mexico to NC it was so tough. So $50 for Mexican lunch for 2 people and it was hard to even eat it, it was so bad. Guess what? Not going back.

The food was quite good and certainly reasonable and plentiful. Had fresh guacamole made right at our seat; it was excellent. The chips and salsa were included. The bar tender was friendly and was proud of the restaurant's product. We would certainly go again.

Went with some friends last weekend and had a great time. Food was very good, guacamole made table-side was great and prices are fair as well. Great time had by all.

Absolutely love this place. You have to go to this exact location. The atmosphere is perfect. Food is amazing. The service is perfect. I have them a 4 star only because the people who sat behind us were so distasteful. They were Loud, cussing so terribly ? and it was families and children including mine. The young ladies friends asked her to lower her voice she got louder and stated "F everyone, she doesn't give a F". Staff is there hearing everything not one staff nor management approached the girl. So our entire meal we had to hear this lady talk Loud and be rude and disrespectful. The only reason why I did not approach her is because I'm with child and people like that you know what things can escalate to. I will have to go back again to see if overall my family and I can have a better experience.

The food was good very flavorful. They had a very extensive menu, which was difficult to select what to have. The staff is very friendly, but they definitely try to sell the bigger priced items. I enjoyed that they displayed the specials of the day at the front counter.

Service is great but for how incredibly expensive it is, I am really surprised by all the cost cutting measures taken. The salsa is so watered down it’s almost impossible to get on your chip, and they will not refill it. I ordered arroz con pollo which generally comes with a cream or cheese sauce on it. This was drowned in red enchilada sauce and a garnished with a bunch of slices of tomato for some reason? Had less than 10 pieces of chicken and was in fact mostly onion. I love onion more than most but this was excessive, especially when the onion is basically steamed instead of sauteed. My wife ordered fajitas and again it was mostly onion and a bit of chicken. The refried beans were very runny and soupy. The most insulting part is that you get 2 small tortillas per meal. How do you eat a whole plate of fajitas with 2 tortillas? Not a single bit of food I had here today was good. The restaurant was near empty except maybe 2 other tables but had maybe 12 people on waitstaff. Cutting costs by delivering low quality food instead of scheduling staff properly. Very surprised by the amount of good reviews here
