“First time here. The service was great. The food was awesome and so was the margaritas!

This was our “go to” Mexican restaurant. After today, no more. They’ve added a $3 charge to use your debit card. Also, the waiter failed to put in my husband’s order and blamed it on the kitchen. I think he was new but he should have stepped up and told us. We were over charged on our margaritas also. I think we’ll take a break and find another Mexican “go to”. Too bad“

“Vibrant, Authentic, Flavorful

Food so good I forgot to take pictures!!!!

If you’re looking for a spot that serves up a fiesta for your taste buds, look no further! This Mexican restaurant is a vibrant celebration of culture, complete with colorful decor and lively Hispanic music that transports you straight to a sun-soaked plaza in Mexico. The scenery alone deserves a standing ovation!

The servers here are the true MVPs; they’re always professional, friendly, and somehow manage to make every dining experience feel like a family gathering. I’ve dined here countless times, and I can confidently say that I’ve never encountered a hiccup—just smooth sailing and delicious flavors.

Whether you’re flying solo or wrangling the whole clan, the table options are perfect for any occasion. And let’s talk food: the menu is a treasure trove of choices! From classic quesadillas to sizzling fajitas and the show-stopping Molcajete, there’s a little something for everyone. Pro tip: kick things off with their fantastic chips and salsa, then take your experience to the next level at their salsa/ceviche bar—trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Now, if you’re like me and have a soft spot for Birria Tacos with Consume broth, you’re in for a treat, but let’s be real—everything on the menu is a winner! And don’t forget to wash it down with a cocktail; the Top Shelf Cantarita is my personal favorite, but with a full bar at your disposal, the possibilities are endless!

In conclusion, this restaurant has all the right ingredients—great vibes, mouth-watering dishes, and a staff that makes you feel right at home. Dining here isn’t just a meal; it’s a fiesta! So gather your friends, family, or even that neighbor you’ve been avoiding, and get ready for a delicious adventure!“

“The lady with the teal hair who took my order today was very kind and showed fantastic customer service. The line was a little slow, but it was lunch rush so just expect that. I got a chicken quesadilla and root beer and a cheesy roll up for my son. Everything was warm and perfectly proportioned. I've been to taco bells where they either skimp or put too much and your food spills all over the place. Definitely a well ran taco bell from what I've experienced.“

“It's Taco Bell, what needs to be said, food tasted good, can't complain, not perfect but I don't expect it to be, however they could label the individually wrapped items rather than everything being in the same brown paper that doesn't signify if it's beef or chicken“
