I honestly wish me and my family were treated well here. We were here one Saturday, a few years ago, and honestly I hope this finds the owner. We shouldn’t have had to wait over an hour to be served. By the time we got our food it was cold and we asked for the food to be served at an appropriate temperature. They waited so long that we just left, especially after being told by another patron, who came in afterwards, she got her food before we did. It’s been a few years since the visit but I still feel the service and treatment we received was extremely poor. I used to frequent do DoorDash here and enjoyed the smells and atmosphere of the restaurant. I chose this place because I lived down the street from the restaurant and wanted to treat my family, who were visiting the area at the time. I’m trying hard not to believe it is because we look different from the population that majority lives in the area. It felt like we were only being served drinks and chips to avoid having to provide us full service. It was quite a demeaning experience and I don’t plan on or expect to come here again after the treatment my family and I received.

We have been wanting to try this place, every time we drive to a soccer game in the area, finally we stopped in so glad we did! I had the very best Margarita Delicious!! All the food we ordered was fresh, well prepared and presented. Loved it will be back soon.. The service was professional and polite, food came out quickly, their salsa and chips are very good.. the restaurant is clean and beautiful wooded chairs and tables along with beautiful Mexican art and paintings.
Prices where very reasonable.

Be aware with the alcohol they serve here. Was at the place with my family and requested a Don Julio shot that wasn’t authentic. I usually drink at home so I’m able to tell the difference. Be aware of this place.

The food was mediocre at best. I've had better Mexican than that and the floor. Geez. We barely got to the table. We were sliding all over the place. I don't know what they're mopping the floor with over there but they better stop before somebody falls

If I could give zero stars, that’s what would have been given. The chicken tasted weird and I ate two bites, sent it back. Then tried the barbacoa…even worse. One bite. My wife ordered and just tolerated her meal because I was cashing in my token from winning a bet 😂 They then proceeded to charge me for the dish I had not partaken in! No bueno, my friends! No bueno! I do not recommend, and I will not be back! Enter at the risk of your tastebuds hating you until they’ve regenerated 😳

Food was pretty good, I plan on returning to get the tortilla soup. The chicken chimichanga was good, but I've had better 😬 the wings were a little dry...the fajitas trio was good. I did takeout.

Love this place and they have corona on tap!
This place has been obliterated by shrinkflation. Portion sizes used to be literally twice the size. I just paid $28+ tip for a chicken burrito and fried plantains. The chicken burrito used to come in its own plater with rice and beans on a second because it was so big. Now it's half the size and has plenty of room in the tin for the smaller portions of rice and beans. The $10 order of plantains came with 8 thinly sliced peices. Like less than a full plantain was used. I feel insulted. Never coming back.

We just moved to the area and have been here twice in less than a week. The food is so fresh and delicious! Warm chips and fantastic salsa. I can’t say enough good things about this place!

Really terrific place and easy to get to. Large parking lot. Our friends took us there saying it was worth it. They were right! Food was great, restaurant looks very nice and the staff was friendly and ready to help. Our order came fairly quick. Table was comfortable and the chips and salsa were very tasty. Restrooms were clean. They were very careful with the food for my wife because she has a serious shellfish allergy. She had fish tacos and I had the poblano with beef. Yummy!
