I have probably been there a thousand times and have never been disappointed. Service is excellent, and the food is consistently amazing.

The food was good. Main dishes are big enough to share, but a little too big for one person. I would personally prefer somewhat less expensive and smaller plates; as the prices do tend to be a little on the expensive side. Service was very friendly and proactive. My only real critic would be the awful smell in the mens washroom.

The newly renovated interior is clean and classy and the food and service was very good! It had been a while since I had been in, but I really enjoyed my lunch!

This was actually so bad we had to leave. The service was nice, and so we're the chips and salsa. But the mains are pretty bad. Good value, but it's like somthing you would make in the microwave with and like no ingredients. It's just very bland. Sorry to say, the people were nice but the food was cold, bland, and clearly microwaved.

The ambiance is nice and the patio is great. The food however was very disappointing.Every plate our party ordered felt very "fast-foody". The rice tasted like microwaved Uncle Ben's. The iceberg lettuce was overused. The chicken in the fajitas was just ok. Overall, nothing felt really authentic and was extremely average. Not sure if the cook was just feeling "off" that night.

I have only called to ask what time they close at but was met with a very rude employee. I had asked what time they close seeing as their website simply says “11:30 - close” for everyday… what the actual **** is that? That is someone who doesn’t want to decide a closing time because they would like to decide when they feel like it.I did get the answer I was looking for.. somewhat. When I asked what time they close at I was told last call for food is at 10. When I had asked about last call for drinks I received the same answer but with attitude and sarcasm. Haven’t been here yet but I think I’ll stick with lone star based on that phone call. Wish I got the man’s name I spoke with. Train your staff to be more polite… Maybe you wouldn’t lose sales.

Starting with the positives, the drinks were good. My wife had a Sangria and it was tasty, the beer was cold and good too. Our appetizer was also good we had the queso fundido. However we’re things fell apart was with our mains my wife had the tacos with salad, and I had the beef fajitas. Her tacos were okay, salad was good. My steak fajitas were not good. The beef was so over cooked it was like jerky, my wife tried it as she didn’t believe it was that bad, her fork pulled through the meat before it broke at her teeth. It was very underwhelming and unpleasant. Don’t know if we will be giving this place another try as spending $90 for a disappointing meal is not a mistake I’d like to make twice, our server was friendly and nice but did not check in, or inquire even though the dissatisfaction with the food was very obvious.

The chicken inside my enchilada was unseasoned and white. Zero flavour. Just plain white chicken. Very very weird for a supposed authentic Mexican restaurant.
