My husband and I recently had lunch here, and I have verbally told everyone in my circle how fantastic this restaurant is since! From the friendly staff to delicious food, this was a great experience. I also think the price point is more than reasonable. New favorite spot for Mexican food!

Bust on the first visit!Came here for lunch, 1PM and by far the slowest experience. More than 20 minutes for the food to be delivered and we waited and waited and waited more to have our tab closed. Had to ask someone for our check!I don't think the place was extremely busy. Maybe a bad day but I'm not interested in returning to experience this again.

The food here is always delicious and reasonably priced! I love that they have tamales as well. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

A must try if you love Mexican and want to get a bang for your buck!! Many options are on the lunch menu and the portions are a good size. Our waitress was amazing with being able to juggle a big party along with us on making sure we were good. The best part is the $3 lunch time margaritas! If you are in the area you should give it a try. Sorry I was too busy drinking I didn’t take photos.

My husband and I tried this place out since it was a convenient place for the errands we had to run. The staff was wonderful, very welcoming. The atmosphere was outstanding. The food, we were not impressed. It lacked the quality we are used to. The prices however were quite cheap so that aspect was great when checking out. We personally do not recommend

The servers were helpful and kind. The food wasn't the best that I've had but the quality service made up for it.

1st visit. The service was great. We were greeted and seated right away. Raina was our server. Highly recommend asking for her. The food was good. We just got the basics. Quesadillas, empanada and a chalupa. All tasted good and decent size portions. Will be back to try more items.

This was our first time here and came primarily because of the good reviews we had seen online. The atmosphere was nice and the servers were very attentive and friendly. The food, however, was just not good. It looked and smelled great, but had very little flavor. My wife ordered the chicken fajitas and the chicken was very dry. I ordered the chefs special and the steak was thin, had tons of gristle and the chicken enchilada was also very dry. I don't know if we just caught it on a bad day, but we are planning on giving it another try, just to be sure. If it proves to be better next time, I will happily update my review!
