Greenjackets game was rained out so we had a lovely dinner instead.
Best Margaritas ever!!! I had the lamb chops, amazing!
Good atmosphere with karaoke outside at night. The food was good. The service was efficient and friendly. Thanks.
To the owner,
This place has went to a downhill Mexican restaurant for me and my family. We loved coming here about 3 times a week. I truly have lost my business coming here. I have multiple concerns and complaints.
1. The manager “Daniel” doesn’t care about his customers. He stands there and looks at everyone eat. Doesn’t greet ANYONE. He gives people mean looks. We even called him over to ask him for something and just kept walking. He just smacks his gum and doesn’t do anything.
2. They forgot half our order. We needed limes and salsa verde, the salsa bar didn’t have anything. We waited 10 minutes for that, and yes our food got cold. The salsa bar is a terrible idea.
3. To be ignored by someone who is in charge, is disrespectful.
Who wants to touch all of the other handles of the salsas that everyone has touched?? And then sit down and eat chips with our hands. It’s just unsanitary. Everything was terrible but we did have the sweetest server. That was the only pro.
I should’ve read the reviews before I decided to dine. The food is very much bland. Simple things to make the food better they don’t do out of laziness , in my opinion. I asked for elote, they boil the corn and not attempt to char the corn. I also ordered beef taco salad. Tasted like cafeteria beef. And the shell wasn’t fresh. Lastly, I ordered a lemon drop, the best thing I had and that was sub par. I LOVE Mexican food and this restaurant does such an injustice to the deliciousness it can be.

Nothing special here. Average to below average quality & taste of food that you could find at any similar type of Mexican restaurant. This place gets business because they picked a good, no-fail location. Poor service by the taller, younger waitress who couldn't handle taking our order even after we waited patiently for 15 min. When I smiled and politely raised my hand, making eye contact with her across the room, she shouted out that she had 3 tables to get drinks to. Uh, yeah, there were 2 of you and only 5 tables occupied on a Tue. @ 6:00. If you can't handle that, then don't do the job. When she finally came over to take our order, she acted like she was being bothered. I wouldn't go here again because of poor service, cheaply made food, no atmosphere, all on top of having to pay to park in the area.

Put us in a booth next to bucket of bleach, very strong odor, and asked to move takes forever to get a drink, had to ask for refills and had to ask for to go boxes, and no one checks to see if food tasted good, or if it's hot and the ice scoop was used once, everyone took cups and scooped ice with cups nasty after cleaning dirty dishes off tables...they put hands in ? health violations

Sadly, the salsa tasted like
Canned tomato sauce and my burrito was smothered in the same tomato sauce .
