One of the plates of my food was hot, the food was not. My meal included 2 soft beef tacos, which were not hot as well (different plate) but most importantly, the beef was completely plain with no seasonings, no herbs, no sauce....nothing. After my explaining the flavorless ground beef to 3 different people, their consensus was they never put any seasonings on their ground beef. I looked up 10 different recipes for authentic taco ground beef and all of them mentioned several...read full review
Make sure the food isn't cold and don't reheat the beef it makes it really unable to be eaten
They have not been consistent with preparing the dishes, They leave out the charizo with the mixed fajitas which leaves it tasteless and not very good. This has happened a few times I let the server know and they generally shrug their shoulders and say sorry and walk away and still charge you for the meal. We will not return we'll travel to another Mexican establishment.

Family run Tex-Mex goodness with a large menu full of satisfying Tex Mex favorites. The sizzling hot plates of fajitas and chile rellenos are popular, paired with draft Mexican beers, margarita, or Mexican sodas. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The shrimp quesadilla was amazing, and enchiladas and tamales are enjoyed. Portions are massive, prices are really cheap, and they do not scrimp on any side. Good food with fair prices, and the waitress is very nice. Entrees are great, though one platter with loaded chips had too much cheese and grease and was soggy. Overall a good experience and a local favorite for spicy cravings.
