Best Mexican food I've had in quite some time. The chicken mole was excellent, the elote corn was fantastic, and the charro beans were maybe the best I've ever had.

Our 1st time here , my husband beans nor rice were hot he order the fajita plate ….neither were my black beans hot . I never order my own drink at any restaurant we go to because I just end up wasting it,plus I don’t eat and drink at the same time, it’s usually after I eat. So the waitress kept asking me do I want water or something to drink, I said no if I need to drink I’ll sip some of my husband drink and the waitress said to me we don’t share drinks here if you take more than 2 sips I have to charge you for 2 drinks. well that remark and the tone of her voice just reduced her tip and I am one who loves to tip but you better not come out your neck wrong That’s stupid I can have some of my husband drink if I want to, Are the tariffs hitting yall that bad.She didn’t stop anything I made sure my husband got a refill to go so I could drink on it all the to the car. I WON’T BE BACK.

EDIT; Since management responded to my original review I’ll change my review from 1 to 4 stars. Great food, large bar. Prices are reasonable. I have visited this location twice, the first without incident, the second time was minutes before this post and I was told there was no draft available at all.

Original post; STOP ADVERTISING BEER YOU DO HAVE. The Crosstown Traffic draft handle 4 ft from my head at the bar I’m told there’s no draft. So tired of going out of my way to places that lie about the products they serve.

Good Mexican food. Extensive menu. A little pricey. Service was quick and efficient. Would visit again.

Very unenthused work staff. Food is fine because you can’t mess up cheese dip but it’s overall lackluster. Chips are fresh

I recently visited this restaurant and had a very disappointing experience with the manager, Maricela Mata. While eating, I bit down on a hard object in my food. When I removed it from my mouth, it felt hard—similar to glass or a rock—and I was unable to chew it.
When I brought this to the manager’s attention, she insisted the object was a clove. She then brought out a clove to show me, as if I didn’t know what one looked like. I compared it to what I bit down on and explained again that the item in my food was not the same.
Instead of listening, the manager raised her voice, told me she didn’t believe me, and dismissed my concern. I suggested she review the camera footage, but her attitude remained unprofessional and rude throughout the interaction.
Because of the way I was treated, I do not plan to return and would not recommend this restaurant.

Food was extremely spicy for me. The lunch portion sizes are overpriced. Definitely would not recommend.

This restaurant here i placed a order for some enchiladas.They seemed to think that they knew exactly what I was talking about.I placed the order little did I know that the restaurant or the establishment had absolutely no clue of what I was talking about? Even though it clearly says enchilada with cheese with red sauce on top, I got something that was completely off the Richter scale. No, cheese, enchiladas, beef enchiladas with lettuce and red salsa on top. Like Chunky, salsa, no clue what or why that this happened. I've ordered from here before and they were decent. But this time blew me over the top with the absolute ignorance and disrespect whenever I called to try to get the order changed or modified. And found out that they were closing in 3 minutes. Since I was five minutes out ten 02 I show up and they see me at the door with my order.And they still don't let me in.Absolutely ridiculous, and will not ever order from here again
