Ricardo was my server, and he was a wonderful host. The food was on the table in less than ten minutes and he was attentive to refills and ensuring our food was perfect. While I was ordering I even forgot to ask for something off and he asked if there was anything I’d like modified. I wasn’t sure about dessert but when he suggested the sopapillas I couldn’t resist. Everything tasted great, the restaurant was nice and clean, and we even accidentally stayed past closing (which I try never to do) and there was no indication of dissatisfaction as he said it was more important that we were happy so that we would come back.I don’t suggest staying after hours because it’s not fair to everyone who needs to go home but I can suggest you try this restaurant.

My favorite restaurant in the McKinney/Allen area. Always good for and great service. It’s a very family friendly environment. Tonight we had my favorite waiter — kind, friendly, joking and laughing. We shared the sample platter - delicious. I was unable to take pictures of food because we immediately dug in to enjoy and were not disappointed.Parking: Parking available on two sides of the building. I’ve never been unable to find parking but I also must admit to being an early bird diner. That being said, at 6 pm on a Saturday there were several spots available.Kid-friendliness: This restaurant is definitely kid friendly. While there is a bar and adult beverage for purchase, the restaurant takes precedence over the bar.

I had the supreme nachos with Steak and Papa Enchiladas with beef and queso sauce. Flavorless, but good portions. Would not return.

I've had a great experience every time I've been there. I hope I don't get his name wrong but Braden or Brandon was the bartender when I was there. I was extremely impressed by his professionalism and also just being a very genuine person. The flautas were pretty good. I'll be back.

Got seated and got food quickly. Food wasn't great, and the queso was not the normal Mexican food cheese sauce. I got a Chinichanaga and it wasn't even deep fried,

I ordered my food and the plate was delivered within 5 minutes. The charro beans were good and hot but the rest of the food was room temperature. It was not freshly cooked like I would have expected from a sit down restaurant. Not worth the prices especially.

The food was really good ??. I had the taco ? salad ? it was huge for the price. My wife had the Lopez sampler and it had a ton of food on it. Overall it was a great experience except for the woman vaping ? at the bar. My wife is pregnant ?? and that isn’t something I want my wife or baby exposed to while going out to eat. For that reason alone they get 3 Stars ⭐️ instead of 5.
