Food was bland. The chips for my nacho’s were just crumbs.

I don’t know what this place changed but their cheese dip is terrible. tastes like it was store bought and it’s not warm. The tacos are tiny. Rip off

This place is amazing. The employees are so nice, and the owner is so friendly. Atmosphere honestly depends on the day, because a nice sunny day, it's nice, but if it's raining, not so much. I got an absolutely massive chicken fajita nacho plate and lengua taco, and was very impressed. That is my go-to order at any new Mexican restaurant I'm trying, and they nailed it. They also own the new restaurant in the old Salsarita's at Clinton Highway and Callahan if you are looking for something indoors with even more stuff on their already giant menu. Highly highly recommended.

The food used to be great, and I enjoyed it every time, but I'm not sure if they were bought by new management because they have gotten extremely stingy on their food. A taco used to take up the entire tortilla, and now it's barely any filling. It's not worth 2.99, and frankly, it's theft for what you get. They also don't give you salsa for your food anymore. Before, if you asked in take out orders for salsa, they would give you an assortment, and now they literally give you a single small container of salsa for 4 tacos and a taquitos meal. I used to love this place and ordered from them about once a week, but it has gone downhill, and it's just not worth it anymore. It's a shame.

This was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. The service was great and the employees were extremely nice. I plan on going back and trying their other location on Clinton Highway.

Wheelchair accessibility: The dining area has a ramp and there is space between the tables for a wheelchair.

I must say that I am disappointed in my last visit because of the tacos that they prepared for me, very bad starting with the texture of the tortilla and ending with the little vegetables.

Very disappointed in this visit. Have been here a few times and everything was always wonderful, this time not so much. The food I ordered was prepared completely different from normal (always order the same thing) all the Tamales were extremely mushy and the “meat” inside was slimy with lots of gristle or fat. Also I ordered a kids chicken finger meal and was given 4 tiny little chicken nuggets and cold (not cooked) fries. Very upset for going out of my way for what is usually wonderful to have wasted $30 on food that was not worth it nor edible. Also to add my daughter’s rice and beans had 2 hard metal shavings in it (she cut the top of her mouth they were so sharp) . Will be looking for a new place closer to me.

This is my favorite Mexican food restaurant. Everything is always hot,fresh & tasty. I've had the taco salad, the nachos(all of them!??), the chicken, and several of the tacos. I usually get it through GrubHub. Have picked it up after ordering online twice. My food is always correct. You get an order of free chips & salsa. Always fresh chips and yummy, not too hot salsa. I've got the guacamole as well, homemade & excellent. I highly recommend them to my friends as well. Authentic Mexican food and plenty of it. Affordable prices. Fresh ingredients. Friendly Staff. A winner all around!
