Great service bad chefs I ordered Nachos Grande the waiter told me it came with ground beef & chicken I asked how much extra would it cost for steak and Jalapeños he 6.95 I said ok didn’t take too long how I noticed there was only steak and ground beef no Chicken and the steak was cut as small as the ground beef pieces you couldn’t tell it apart. Okay atmosphere it was crowded you had to squeeze by the tables good service horrible chef

We drove an hour to try this place, only to be turned away for a party of 10. The manager claimed they didn’t have supplies to seat us, yet there were three big parties already dining inside along with all the other customers in the restaurant. The hostess was rude and unhelpful, and when we asked to speak with the manager, they never came out to talk to us. Total waste of time, and we’ll never be back. Very disappointed.

Food was almost inedible. Seemed like it sat out for a long time ... Even the kids didn't eat it. Was told it was a family favorite.
Wrong! Eeeek!
ABSOLUTELY the worst $250 spent on food (party of 17).
I asked them not to rush or try to impress, that we believe in tipping fairly. Waitresses have it hard so we make sure to pay 50% tip... Lipstick on the glasses.. dirty silverware.. kids behind me got hair stuck in gum from switching seats under the table.

I don’t ever make reviews but I am very impressive with this place, I would say I had to wait like 10 mins to get my order it and it was very good, good quality food and friendly people, very happy about this.

Waited to get seated for over 5 minutes while a line of customers piled up behind me to pay their check. I was never acknowledged. The guy who would have seated me, or perhaps he was,
a server, was walking around at a very leisurely pace clearly seeing the line growing behind me. I have no problem waiting to get seated, just acknowledge my existence and tell me that you’ll be a minute. But don’t ignore me. If that’s how you treat people who are wanting to get seated then I anticipate the service after getting seated would be the same quality. I walked out and won’t be trying this restaurant in the future especially given how many other Mexican restaurants are in the area.
