Portions are a little small, second batch of salsa looked like tomato soup, the refried beans looked like pinto bean soup and the lunch special for the small portion was 11.50. Quality is slipping compared to like El jinnete or Mexi wing. The tex mex burrito was better than the lunch special I got for sure.

Updated rating:
Owner made it right and has updated their system to include virgin drinks. Thank you!

What? I was charged for a regular pina colada. Manager in charge would not correct my bill when I ordered a virgin pina colada. She argued that they had to make up the difference for not adding alcohol, so it's the same price. That's absurd! Take your business elsewhere.

First visit here: Cleaned plate of fajitas with chips & queso.

Upside: Service is fantastic, surroundings are terrific, music is modern, upbeat and the overall chill attitude is wonderful.

My only criticism is one I don't understand about almost every similar restaurant today, and it's the almost total lack of seasoning.

Maybe have a cayenne version and offer some spice? Americanized Mexican seems to become...
