I don’t trust anyone in this town, 4.5 stars, what the heck are yall smoking? My fajitas had Kraft singles melted on it with the most raw green peppers I’ve ever seen, you’d think we got Mexican food in Ohio or something.

This used to be an awesome restaurant. We went today, 11/10/23, got a table fast, got our drinks fast, and even ordered fast. Food was still good, and fresh. HOWEVER, the salad my wife ordered should have come with a salad dressing. Instead the dressing which we did not ask for and then charged for, $4.40 for 2 oz.? We use to eat there, two full meals, drinks for $35 - $40, today chicken fajitas (one order), two teas (unsweet), no sopaipillas, $50! Prices have gone up, but what they are charging for now, don't know if we will go back.

Unfortunately there was hair in both of our plates, so we didn’t eat the plates but all they gave us was 25% discount. Disappointed we still had to pay, I’m assuming this is a common occurrence by how they handled the situation.

First time food was not as expected. Nacho supreme not enough cheese. Taco salad supreme did not have beans like described in menu

The food was not very good at all & the service was bad. Our waitress wouldn't even allow us to finish a question or get refills on our drinks. Very sad about this because we are new to
