Food is great, service is horrible. All 3 times I've been, I've waited 10+ before a server even brings chips or takes my order.

You would think an authentic Mexican restaurant could make a proper margarita. Not so much in this case. All margaritas here start with a mix and not even a good mix. The food was very average at best. Kind of like the Applebees of Mexican restaurants.

Really great food great portions a meal for two could have probably fed four. The service they were too quick to walk away didn't give time to ask questions and then had to ask for things that were order 2 and 3 times. But other than that was awesome.

The food was okay, but our service was terrible. Since we were not ready to order as soon as we sat down, we waited about 15 minutes before we had to flag down our waitress to order. We only saw her again when she brought our food. My husband had to get the to go container because she never would come back to our table. Finally after it became apparent that she wasn’t going to return we went up to the cashier and gave our table number in order to pay. I have not had service this bad in a long time.

So delicious, and it was apparent that many others agree! This place was busy with locals when we went, so we knew we chose wisely when we decided to have dinner here. The dining room was comfortable and the service was friendly and quick.

The food is pretty good here and its one of our favorite places to eat at in town, but can't say we've ever had good service. the waitresses always just visit the table to take order and bring food, if anyone at the table needs a refill its impossible to get one. it'd be a great place to go to if service was better. Will continue to go but hoping the service gets better in the future.

The food is really good except when you order omelets they don't put anything on there but the two things that are ordered for example steak and eggs, it needs onions cheese green chilies or jalapenos just remember you have to order all that extra but it is good food.
