​The customer service was the best I've ever had, and the food was fantastic. There was nothing left on our plates. The entire staff worked together seamlessly to make sure everyone was taken care of, creating a truly amazing experience.

I review a lot of food places. I had high expectations for this place with the reviews. I can say I wasn't happy at all with the food. First off the salsa and chips. The salsa was just like hot sauce. Not tomatoes or any seasoning in it. Chips were ok. I ordered a burrito and beans and rice. The burrito was ok. The meat in the burrito was bland. No seasoning or onions or anything just like beef cooked. The sauce on top was the best part of my plate. The beans were like they pureed. Just bean mush. They were not seasoned either. The rice was ok. Got a bowl of cheese dip. Now that was delicious. We enjoyed every drop of that. Overall I don't think I will be back. Just not worth the money!

I have several odd food allergies and the management and waiters are always so cautious and helpful in preparing my meal so that I'm able to eat without worry.

Worst Mexican food I’ve ever had literally. The red sauce they put on our food ruined the whole dish. The one on Jefferson is good but this one is trash.

Do not order from the website, call it in. I order the same thing every time. Chili Poblano plate ( two poblano chilies, and rice and beans) $10.99 Added side of chips and salsa for $1.99. I’ve ordered this four times in the last three months. Pretty much my favorite Mexican dish. First time not a problem came through perfect. Second time ordered it and it came at half portion, but paid full price. Third time again came half portion but paid full price. This last time they made two chili Poblanobut had no rice and beans. Apparently, when the ticket gets printed out in the kitchen, it just print out as to poblano’s.

I noticed the bag was super small this time and called them out on it. Then they tried to argue with me until I showed them my email confirmation. I really wish I could Retract the tip that I put on the order because it seemed like I had to fight with the staff to get what I paid for. I’m not saying the food is bad, but obviously there is an ordering issue they need to look into.

Please make sure you double check your order before leaving

Food was good, hot and fresh but my only complaint is I've never had to pay for the sour cream, guacamole and pico that is normally included with the meal,notice the slice of tomato ? A bit higher priced than other similar restaurants.

We were seated very quickly and had drinks in our hands soon after. I ordered the fajitas and they were delicious...I've never had that much meat in my fajitas, in fact they were really lacking the peppers and onions that I so much enjoy. Besides that, the flavor was wonderful, they were cooked perfectly, and the portion size was huge!
