“I'm Mexican, and when i'm visiting another country i never eat Mexican good for obvious reasons, however this place got my atention and i decided to eat there, heres my opiniones

I got a chicken salad with a lot of stuff in it, The food was great, i have never eaten something similar in Mexico, and thats great, it's not a very big portion and a little bit expensive but the taste is really good, also they give you some nachos for free too, that was a nice surprise

The service was STUNNING, literally Mindblowing, i was having a real shitty day when i went and i was greeted by the most happy and energetic man in the entire world, he screamed "Happy friday" yo me while jumping and waving his hand, he made me feel welcome and he was super happy all the time, seriously this man made my entire day, he served me my food and he was patient with my mediocre English pronunciación, most awesome human being in existence, i literally have no words to describe how great it was, he should be employe of the century“

“I just left El Paso Tex-Mex grill and had by far the most delicious and fresh chicken burrito I’ve ever tasted! It even came with a side of chips and salsa. The staff were courteous and the restaurant and bathroom were super clean! There’s even a free secure parking lot right out front. This restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can accommodate a comfortable group as well. I plan to spread the word… Thanks Paco!!“

“I have been a customer since opening day way back when. Today, I was a bit disappointed. Jose's rice was extremely salty. 2 of us could not eat it. I am disappointed in the nachos. You used to have fabulous flour tortilla chips. Not any more. They are corn. Overdone. Not a fan. Tortillas were great, especially the duo of skirt steak and chicken. Go back to the old flour tortilla nachos!“

“I took my family here after a day at the park. I’m so glad we did. The food was phenomenal!! We had the nachos, which were to die for, a bunch of tacos and the pork carnitas quesadillas. Everything was delicious and the place was so clean and nice. Great atmosphere!! Definitely recommend it! I read some of the other reviews on here and I wholeheartedly disagree with the naysayers! Give it a shot, I know I’ll be back and will be ordering for delivery.“

“Yummy Wings is a Solid choice for Quality and taste when you're in the mood for something past the drive thru Burger. The restaurant is basically geared for takeout but there are counters and stools if you're on a stroll for lunch break .The menu is more than Wings . Fried rice and Teriyaki are featured and recommended. The wings are always cooked fresh .So they're hot and tasty, (Note: this requires an online order, a call in or a short wait. ) Favorites are Lemon pepper or Garlic pepper and either one in the honey drizzled version. I Highly recommend this location its become one of my favorite choices .“

“Wow!!! What can’t I not say about this place , the decor was incredible you can see that the place has history. I felt like going back home and changing my out for this place is amazing ! The service was Superb, we didn’t have to ask our waiter or waitress for anything we were constantly attended to . The food was great and the portions are are great. I went with my fiancé and daughter so I always order family style , so we had a little of everything . I know it’s cold out but I love a good frozen margarita and it was perfect . Also at the end Jolie , the owner/daughter of the owner also , offered us some free shots of RED CADILLAC TEQUILA , that’s made from them by them . It was very soothing . We’re actually gonna go back in a date night for the live music . Can’t wait !“

“I haven’t been here in years because the first and last time I went, the food was disgusting. I mean, we had like 4 dinners and they were all bland and just not seasoned right. (This was around 2021)

We recently tried again because everytime we drive past, my daughter loves the lights outside and the games. What a difference!
We had nachos with chicken, shrimp fajitas and a kids burger. Everything was so good!
Probably the best nachos I’ve ordered in a restaurant- and nachos are my thing!! lol
Britzy (sorry if spelled wrong) was our server and she was so nice ! Everything came out perfect and she checked on us a bunch of times. Everything came at a decent time and it was just a pleasant dining experience.
We will definitely be back!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and also the outdoor seating has some giant games along the side“

“Last night I took my wife and three children here for a bite to eat. We were greeted upon entering which is always nice to be acknowledged as a patron. The two men behind the counter were preparing orders already but they were quick. We were ordering withing two minutes. Christian and Rafael were their names. They were so attentive and efficient we had our food within minutes. We sat down and started eating and the food was out of this world. Then they brought out churros on the house that the kids loved. They were so kind. You don't see that a lot anymore. Especially in fast food places. The place was spotless. Very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Quesadilla, tacos or burritos. And the prices are very good!!! Thank you Christian and Rafael for the wonderful experience.“

“The fajitas (chicken/steak/shrimp) are AMAZING - hot and tasty - I get them every time. Its cooked perfectly and I can't stop eating them. The margaritas are delicious and a good size. The queso is perfect and so is the guac! We've never had a bad meal. I tell everyone this is the place for the best tex-mex in the area!

My only complaint, idk if its the owner or manager, but he's always singing karaoke the whole time, at FULL VOLUME. It's so loud you really can't really have table conversation without yelling at each other and its the entire time you're there, he doesn't take a break. There really isn't a place to sit inside where you can muffle it. Don't get me wrong, the gentleman's singing is really good, he sounds professional, but it feels almost like you're a captive audience. Maybe if he took 15-20 minute breaks after every couple songs, or sang/played the music at a lower volume so you can still enjoy talking with the people at your table, maybe even turn the speakers in angles so it doesn't bombard dinners.... We'll keep going, but I'll admit, its why we're not there more often or why we sometimes eat quickly and leave.“

“BAD MANAGEMENT FROM A BAD MANAGER: My son place a big order and they gave him the wrong stuff when he ask to speak with the manager, the manager refused to correct the order claiming “what do you want me to do with the food, I can’t put it in the garbage “ and he insisted not to fix it. Shame on you. Don’t go even closer to this place.“
