This is a great Mexican restaurant chain in Ohio. It’s comparable to the Julio chain in Maryland.Delicious street tacos, seafood, steaks, chicken kora, margaritas and more. Their full bar offers a large selection of tequilas, which makes top shelf margaritas easy to craft from.We loved everything we ordered and the service was great. We enjoyed the matching interior designs among all the chain restaurants, which does offer a good sense of consistency.Definitely recommend by @winedinenvacay

I ordered from postmates, I didn’t receive half my order, I ordered 2 quesadillas and didn’t get the sour cream or guacamole or lettuce and tomato, and it just wasn’t the same without it..

Our waitress was great and she's so cute and friendly. I didn't get her name but she's the young lady with braces.The food was good but expensive. Atmosphere was nice but the radio is very loud. Especially when ads come on. Otherwise, it was a nice lunch.Kid-friendliness: Activity menu with crayons.

We were only in town for a few days, but we really wanted to eat at a good Mexican restaurant, so we decided on this one in the University viscinity. It was a little confusing on where to go and park, but once we figured that out and went around to the front of the building, we found our way in and were not disappointed.The atmosphere was great and felt like most typical Mexican restaurants I'm used to back in Wisconsin, but it was well decorated for Halloween and had a really good vibe when entering. We got a table right away and got to ordering.We were both hungry, but we knew we didn't want leftovers, so we split a chicken fajita quesadilla and bean dip for the chips and we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was. It was some of the best Mexican-style food we've had in a long while, and the service was just top notch. I'll be recommending this place to all of my convention going friends even though its not exactly walking distance from the convention center, but as a dinner location after events? This would be ideal.We for sure will be going back to this location the next time we are in town. And this time, with a bigger appetite so we can try more of the amazing food!

Had a lovely time, the food was great, hostess was quick and attentive. Only problem I had was the music was entirely too loud and not like an old man too loud I mean shaking my drink when the beat drops loud but seems like someone was having a birthday at the bar so it didn’t bother me too
Mediocre Mexican restaurant, but that's par for the course in Dayton. The food is pretty basic Mexican-American, and there are plenty of options, but none super exciting. Portion sizes are decent but not huge. Expect to spend around $30 and be a little underwhelmed.Vegetarian options: Several entrée options are vegetarian/vegan naturally, and almost any dish can be made without meat.Parking: Large free parking lot in the rear that serves the entire shopping area.

My tip is base on the service I received. On this day the service was bad,( I did not receive silverware, I had to asked for salsa ) when the bill came, they would not take the $5 gratuity off so I paid in cash minus gratuity’s.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT STATEMENT AFTER EATING AT THIS PLACE. MY WAITER ADDED AN ADDITIONAL $5 TIP TO THE TIP I LEFT HIM. I SEE IT TODAY IN MY ONLINE ACCOUNT STATEMENT. I WONT BE BACK?

This was my first time eating there. I had the fajita nachos, and they were just ok for me. The meat lacked seasoning/flavor. The server was really nice. I don't know if I'll go back or not. I may give it a second chance. My co-workers enjoyed and ate every bit of their food.

I wasn't sure at the time what I wanted. It was 915pm on a Friday evening and the place was packed. I wanted a salad, but I got more than I expected. I ordered a Loco Taco! I recommend this... it's steak, chicken, shrimp, rice, lettuce and a great sauce on a fried something.

Service was terrible. Waited at least 20 minutes for drinks and three were wrong. Waited additional 20 minutes to place order only after we got up and asked to be waited on. There was only one other couple in restaurant so saw no reason for such poor service. We were a table of 9 and will not return again. .Parking: Parking behind strip mall

I five stared the atmosphere but I only did carry out at this location so I was only in there for 3 minutes. I worked restaurants and I know quality can dip on carry out I’m very happy to say not at this place the food was delicious the eta of my order was accurate. The staff was friendly. Definitely would do carry out again but will probably just sit down. Top quality ingredients I still love the one by Grismer on Wilmington pike but this is closer to my new place and was easily one of the best carry out experiences I have ever had. No tip begging but tip jar which I gave 6 on a 54$ order when I paid 60. It’s nice to go home and realize the money was well spent with people that care about giving a good performance.
