Food was great and service was good too. Just note that the dinner portion ms are huge!!! Well worth it but would definitely share next time than all of us ordering.

The food was sooo good!!!

burrito was enormous ( my friend ordered) street tacos were normal size versus the small ones I’ve usually had other places, the carne asada (my daughter loved) my aunt ordered the fajitas and she said they were good. My mom ordered the taco salad...

The food was good. We went for a late lunch on a Thursday. It was a little quiet. The restaurant is large, new & clean. We both got a lunch menu item & sodas & our bill was under $30. Very affordable, in my opinion. If you're from the southwest, it's not as spicy as we like it, be prepared for that. I got the chimichanga & would probably get fajitas next time.

The food was delicious. I started with a wing appetizer and was amazed with how well they were made and the rest of the food was fantastic. The strawberry mango margarita was also very good
