The service is good! The place is clean. The salsa was bland, I requested hot salsa and I believe the server took a bowl of salsa and added chili sauce to it. I ordered Taquiitos, they were fresh but must have been fried with my husband's flour salad shell because I had celiac tummy issues following this meal. Also, said taco salad was not the dinner portion, it was half the size of the plate like a lunch portion. I don't think we will be returning.

Kid-friendliness: Large kid's menu.

Everything was just kinda bland. It was ok Mexican food but not good. Salsa was flavorless, meats weren't seasoned well. Overrated.

Probably the worst Mexican food I have ever had in my entire life. The cheese sauce on my burrito had the consistency of skim milk. The salsa had no flavor, the only thing good about the meal was the guacamole. Also, I had the vegetarian meal and my enchilada had meat in it and I had driven too far to go back and have them correct it. Really disappointing. I love Mexican food, and I have never had such terrible Mexican food before. I would never recommend anyone going to this restaurant unless you were just going for drinks, which I can’t really say, if they are good or bad considering I didn’t have one but maybe if you have a drink the food will taste better. Pass! Go someplace else. Even Taco Bell. Taco Bell would be much better than this place. I spent almost $30 on my food and basically threw it all out. Such a shame. I work hard for my money money just to be served garbage. Also, my order wasn’t even complete so make sure to check your order before you leave if you could take out.

Ordered the same thing we always get , husband brings it home and we open it and I included a picture of what we got and a pic on how it's suppose to come. I call and he wants to argue with me it's correct and I'm wrong then after telling me they will remake it after telling him we live in livingston not cookeville, he hangs up on me.
