My daughter, son in law and grandchildren love this place. Only been here once with them because my food was watery and tasteless. I wanted to like it but for me it was really bad. No flavor. Now when I drive by it smells so yummy! Why so watery? I gave it a 2 star because my family likes it.

I hate giving a low rating but the food I had was all bland. Completely flavorless beef, chicken, rice, beans, guacamole, and chips. I'm so disappointed because I wanted to love this local favorite...

I’ve enjoyed this business for years. However today was something awful. I ordered steak fajitas for takeout and left without them. The reason being is if you order from the drive through or if you “take out” they charge you a made up tax. This tax is called a “take out tax” which I’ve ordered take out from this place and many others over the years and this is the very FIRST time that I’ve heard of such a thing. I get we live in Taxsylvania but in this commonwealth there isn’t a such tax. So I questioned it and after speaking with the girl at the window a little longer. She spilled the beans on the fact the owner made this up. Which I already knew. But honesty I don’t know if I’m coming back here.

I'm giving this a 2 not because of the food but because of the service. Drive thru is horrible. Person could not understand us, had to keep asking for someone to interpret for the order. It took forever for the food to arrive.

Just tried this delightful little Mexican restaurant for lunch and it was fabulous. Our service was extravagant and the food was even better. Make sure you bring your appetite because the portions are huge. I ordered the Lunch Chimichanga and it came with guac , sour cream, refried beans a cheese sauce. It was so good that I ate every last bite. This little restaurant was very clean and they were socially distancing tables. I should of took pictures but next time I will. I cant wait to make this a regular lunch spot.

Cold food the last 2 times I've been there. Gone down hill and I wont be coming back. Disappointed...

The waiter seemed annoyed by our presence from the start. Our soup came out about 10 minutes after ordering. After that, it was about 20 minutes until our main course meals arrived. Those waits did not bother us since we knew everything would be freshly made.

Wow, explosion of delicious flavors in my mouth! I had the Chance burger ($10.50), which is a little spicy and has jalapenos on it. It was huge and so, so good. I didn't make an adjustments to the burger, but next time I would go for the "extra spicy" option. As is, Chance had some heat to it, but I wouldn't call it spicy, though I tend to like spicier foods. The only thing I didn't care for as much about the burger was the bun. It could have been softer and warmed or lightly grilled to make it better. I also had the truffle parmesan fries ($6.50). They had the perfect amount of flavorings on them; I could really taste the truffle flavor and I loved the fried parmesan on top. One order of fries can easily serve 2-3 people.

Thus isn't a restrsunt like Taco Bell, its all custom (sort of homemade) food, and owner is kindest of all, never too busy, food is made quick and is always hot when recieved! Very considerate to his guests, has 6 tvs going all the time. Very considerate as a small business! I also have never waited long for the server/owner to pop over, and get my order handed to me, I was amazed how fast the food was made!

The food was good and the amount for the money was great.

Great service, but quesadillas were pretty much chicken soup inside a tortilla with a small layer of velveeta style fake cheese. Pico was freshly made, but c'mon man, use real cheese. Take pride in your ingredients.
