For someone who is PASSIONATE about Mexican food it really pains to me to write this review. I took my mom & nephew here for lunch recently and had an awful experience. Our server was TERRIBLE from the moment we sat down. I understand language barriers can be an issue sometimes but this man just could not get it together. He brought us cold queso, he would walk away when we were mid sentence, he didn't bring refills, my food was the most basic item a chimichanga and it was TERRIBLE & cold and didn't even have all of the toppings it was supposed to have. My mom's food the fajita quesadilla was literally swimming in the juices from her chicken which made it gross and soggy. The only thing semi decent dish was my nephew's tacos which were MEAT AND CHEESE ONLY go figure. There was NOTHING redeeming about this server or the food. He wasn't pleasant never smiled ONCE. He had to ask us our order multiple times because he refused to write anything down. Then to finish it off he brings me the check and it wasn't correct and then proceeds to walk around the restaurant with my debit card in his hand until I finally had to ask him for it back. Could've just been a bad day or a bad server but we won't be returning after this experience.

So I will start by saying the drinks were good. The food and service were good until they accidentally served my husband shrimp tacos. Thank GOD I noticed it was shrimp because he is allergic. The waitress came back over and apologized and got the correct order but when I mentioned it to her and advised her to be careful she said “well the shrimp and fish look the same. That’s how I made the mistake.” Frankly I know mistakes happen but things like this are serious and should be taken seriously not giggled off. Most likely won’t be back and won’t recommend people I know to go here.

I came here on a date and orded Quesadilla with no cheese because I don't like the taste of cheese, after they bring me it with cheese and that's OK still 5 stars. I asked for more sour cream for my Quesadilla once they brought it back with no cheese. THE MANAGER PROCEEDEDS TO TELL ME IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT AND I HAVE TO GET THE CHEESE NEXT TIME BECAUSE SOUR CREAM IS LIKE CHEESE. I tell him I don't like cheese and love spur cream and he tells me that's not how it works INFRONT OF MY DATE. Do not go here if u want to take something off your dish. Disgusting customer service!

I absolutely love this place! The food is always good, the restaurant is clean. We’ve been three times, the first time our server, was amazing, very attentive, and on top of things. The last two times we got the same gentleman server who changed our experience and excitement for our new favorite place. We had to get our own napkins from the bar area and never got any refills. We were there over an hour of sitting with no service. Finally, we were over it stood up to see if we could get our check to pay and we found our server sitting two booths behind us scrolling on his phone. Either way our food was so good, so we plan to return. I just hope that the service will equal the quality of the food.

Waitress was not very hospitable. Food was mediocre at best. Tipped reflecting of the service I received. Looked at my bank statement today and noticed that there was a bigger charge than it should have been and called and asked about it and they gave me the amount of the tip that had been received which had been tampered with as it was not correct. If I could give a lower rating I would. Will not be returning ever.

Jalapeño fajitas aren't on the list. That's what I had. It was very, very good. More than I could ever eat.

Every time i wanted to try this place they were so packed I didn’t bother going in. St. Patricks day last year (2023) I went on a date an I choose this place and finally it was not busy or packed like it normally be on a Friday. The food was good but the service wasn’t that good, even with a few people in there the waitress was no where to be found. A few weeks ago on a Saturday I decided to go get something to eat and wanted to get Mexican and went back. This time the service was so excellent i gave her a $10 tip. The food was great too.

Nice spot for tasty Mexican. Service was really fast and we went there on a Saturday evening. Got a shrimp chimichanga. Very tasty. Atmosphere was good. I'd probably go back.

Embarking on a flavor expedition this Mexican restaurant felt like a salsa dance for my taste buds! ? The Flautas were culinary fireworks, exploding with taste, while the burrito became my wife's new spicy romance! ? The Chorizo Queso played the role of a cheesy overture, stealing the show with its melodious richness. Even the taco had a stand-up moment, cracking a subtle joke of blandness. ?? The service started as a leisurely stroll but eventually sprinted to greatness – like a waiter training for a food marathon. ?‍♂️ ???Parking: Somewhat small parking area depending on time.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Easy access into the front door and plenty of open seating.
