Do not order online from here. They have never, in multiple attempts over several years gotten our order right. Order in person or go elsewhere

I do not recommend this restaurant at all. My daughter ordered the shredded taco and ground beef soft taco. The food had a funny taste to it. I ordered the ground beef hard taco. I didn't like the taste of my food either. We told the server we didn't like the taste of the food. He went to get the manager and the manager came and told us we have to pay for the food even though she didn't like it. I explained to the manager that the food was not what we use too. He argued me down that I have to pay for the food even though she didnt like it. After arguing with him for 5 mins that I'm not paying for something she don't like. I explained to him I'll pay for my food and the drinks but not her food. He finally took it off my receipt. The food was not good and the customer service was awful.

Since they moved to their new location, the prices have gone up and the atmosphere has declined. It used to be very affordable and now...not so much. I haven't noticed a change in the quality of the food, which I have always thought was quite good.

Visiting the area for the day and the reviews said this is the “Best” Mexican spot to eat at. Upon arrival, we noticed that they have moved the establishment down the street and it’s not posted. However, it is not hard to miss as their new location have a big sign. Entering the restaurant it is very nice inside with a couple of murals plenty of TVs and beautiful tile work. Their complimentary salsa is delicious! With a little bit of heat that creeps in after indulging in a few chips. I ordered carnita tacos with cheese and as much as I wanted to be excited, I was disappointed. The corn tortillas had a nasty taste and were super oily. The carnitas on the other hand were delicious! The tacos came paired with rice and beans and that was a bit bland…but nothing a little salt can’t fix. I then took the carnitas from the tacos and dumped it in with the rice and beans and made me a new little dish and it was delicious. My daughter went with the Moctezuma’s Nachos and she really enjoyed it. She couldn’t stop raving on the seasoning of the chicken. Overall, it was ok

Definitely one of the best local Mexican spots. You can tell everything is fresh and you can find creative and delicious dishes that you won’t find at your run of the mill Mexican restaurant.

We used to LOVE the old location, but have been coming to this location since that one shut down. The food is great, but the margarita has gotten worse and worse. When we went yesterday we ordered a skinny margarita they just used a mix and it tasted really sweet and off. We didn’t even finish them and we aren’t picky. They used to make them to order and they were fresh and amazing. The margarita is why you go! I’m just so disappointed.

From the outside it looks pretty sketchy but it once inside it looks good. From the food to the service this place is definitely worth stoping by. And the price is very reasonable you definitely get your money’s worth.

Went today for the first time to celebrate a ?. The food was very tasteful, the drinks are also great. I will definitely return. Just be sure to bring a jacket, its kind of cold. Also the prices are very reasonable.

I ordered this food thru Doordash. I ordered Chimichangas. They were burnt and hard as 2 bricks!! The rice and beans were dries out. And I ordered cheese dip.... I cab not believe I paid $6.95 for small 3 oz cup! When did there become a shortage on cheese.This was my first time eating there and I will not be ordering anymore food from this place. It was the worst the way to spend $23.00 and a waste.

Service was slow, understaffed. Our waitress was all over the place busy. Prices kinda high for not a ritzy place. Ordered 2 diet pepsi, $7.00 (3.50 ea). Really small cheese dip $6.00. Wife got Chimichanga dinner with funny tasting chicken, and I got cheese/steak fries which were ok. And to top it off, when we got our bill, I handed them my debt card, returned to a higher bill. They charged a Surcharge Fee of 3.5 % because I used a card. Most places warn you when you pay that they will charge for using a credit card. Not a word, and I had cash too. Unfortunately this affected the normal tip of 20% now lowered to 15%. So no alcohol or deserts but the total bill costs us $47.00. Will never eat there again.

The service here is terrible. When I went to pick up my food the lady at the counter didn't acknowledge my presence or any of the 3 other people waiting for their food. The staff never answered the phone which rang consistently for 7 minutes. It hit the point where I just left out and went to a different mexican restaurant down the street.
