Food was decent, nothing special.

Kids meal didn't come out as we asked.

Wife ordered Taquitos Mexicanos, she said it was pretty good.

I tried to order something on the lunch menu (during the posted hours), and they said it was outside of the lunch hours, so they wouldn't make it. Nothing on menu indicated it wasn't available during the weekend hours.

Ended up getting street tacos, and the server was very unsure what that came with/was. So he kept checking the menu. I asked if the meats could all be different meats, he said he was gonna check, and ended up bringing me 5 (menu said 3) tacos of the same meat. They were pretty good.

The biggest issue, is we stopped by for lunch, and it took us roughly 1.5 hours to get in/eat/out. Never got refills without having to chase someone down, never got extra plates, or napkins we asked for. Which, with a toddler, was difficult.

Service really needs an overhaul, at the state it's in, we wouldn't come back.

I usually don’t do reviews. But I went here with my family. Waited for drink order to be taken. Then instead of bringing our drinks out and taking our order the waiter just goes missing. But all the other employees were just staring at us. Nobody bother to come over and ask if we were taken care of until we got up to leave! Kind of sad about this because I loved their blue lagoon margaritas.

I seen the pictures on Facebook first and was looking for those items on the menu but didn’t find it. I should have asked before ordering. I had some chicken and corn poblano meal and also chorizo with chicken. Everything was very tender but I just think I ordered something new and didn’t really like it. Which it’s not the restaurant’s fault. Their drinks are amazing and fabulous. Especially their frozen margaritas. I will be back to try other meal items when in the area. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice and so neat and clean. I am giving 5 stars bc even tho I didn’t like my meal, it wasn’t their fault. It was something new I had never had before. I can tell they take care of their customers and the food was very hot and fresh !!!

The margaritas are good... That's about it. I ordered a taco salad and it tasted like they used an old bag of shredded lettuce at the grocery store and it just ruined the whole dish. I only picked at the bowl because it tasted decent. The chips and salsa were good. The cole slaw that comes with the chips was bland. My husband, a burrito lover, only had beef in it. No cheese, no rice, just beef. He didn't even bring home his leftovers. We'll pass on going back.

I’ve been here twice in 3 months.

Now I want to know why each time when walking up to the front doors there is an overwhelming smell of raw sewage. I don’t care who you are, you cannot miss it.

Now - Without going into too much detail, there is a very good possibility that I’ll not eat at ANY Mexican restaurant ever again after the horrifying experience I had with my food last night.
I am a very forgiving person but it was bad. As I began pulling the “steak” slices out the end of my burrito, they were all (for the most part) strung together by what appeared to be animal arteries.
Done
Ended my meal before it started
I have an iron stomach but the image and fact that I had some in my mouth nearly had me retching.
It was piled up at the open end of my burrito. The waiter could see something was horribly wrong especially when I picked it up and the whole mass of whatever it was lifted from the table. I kept it on the down low as I am not out to hurt a business but when he saw I never even took a bite and only offered to remake it rather than refund? Omgosh lol
I was green. I couldn’t eat a thing after what I just saw.
I’m not going to try to tell a man how to run his business but mister, you failed by allowing me to pay for that mess and just telling me that you’ll talk to your meat supplier. I figured the best I can do is write a review.
To be fair, the first time I was here was OK. Not great, but close to home and just ok and worth another try. I wish I hadn’t ☹️.

I’m pretty sure I’m done with Mexican food for long time

Oh, the chips and red salsa was decent

When we arrived the place was practically empty, it took awhile before anyone even offered to sit us. We then waited about 10 minutes before getting drink orders and that was just the start. Drinks took forever to come out, when they did they were made wrong, the cheese dip we ordered never came and had to be removed from our bill, I ordered cheese enchiladas and they came out cold, they were so cold the cheese on the inside had already hardened, my husband ordered street tacos which also came out cold. Even the meat was cold, as if it was just pulled out of the fridge. Our son ordered a cheese burger from the kids menu and unfortunately the bun was so hard he couldn’t eat it. None of us finished our meals… it was by far the worse food I’ve had and the service was incredibly slow.. we will NOT be back!

Was looking forward to trying this place for a while and it was a huge disappointment. Brought out wrong margarita. My tacos were cold. Wife's enchiladas were solid cheese as if they weren't ever cooked/heated up. Asked for queso, never got it. Son's hamburger bun was hard and stale. Saw a dude get sat, then 2 other parties sat after him, they got waited on before he did so he walked out. Was beyond ready to go and asked for the bill and took forever to get that. I want to try again, but it's not looking likely after this experience.

Grub hubbed some carnitas street tacos and chimichangas. My family has owned restaurants so I'm kind of picky where eat. The food was wonderful. Everything tasted fresh made. Can't wait to stop in
