Somebody was hammering away on something the whole time we were there. Loudly. The food we ordered tasted great but both entrees arrived barely warm. My wife had the El Yucateo plate, breaded fried eggplant stuffed with shrimp and sauteed pico de gallo and chile con queso. Wifey had borracho beans and rice with her meal. I had the Carne Guisada, tender hunks of beef stewed in a Mexican gravy. I had rice and refried beans and flour tortillas with mine. First time we've eaten in what sounded like a blacksmith shop. Skip this place.

???????????The worst food I have ever had, completely frozen foods cooked in burnt oil, the waiting time was an hour with the restaurant empty, no people, don't waste your money, this restaurant is of no use, better close it.

Our server was great and the service he gave us doesn’t reflect this review towards him at all BUT it is insane that half of the staff is drinking on the clock and sitting at the bar with not a care in the world.

Just go to El Camino instead.Food: They were out of several things including basics like sour cream. I ordered a fajita salad and might as well have saved myself the extra few bucks and got a taco salad because there were no fajitas. Literally just lettuce, tomato, cheese and avocado. They also got my order wrong and gave me steak instead of chicken. Then I found a bug crawling underneath my salad. My drink was equally awful. The margarita was fine though. Chips and salsa were good.Service: Terrible! We were the only table outside with very few tables inside, and we waited 45-50+ minutes for a salad and one other plate. Then when our food came, the waiter couldn’t bother to come back to check on us nor bring us our check but seemed to take plenty of smoke breaks. When we went inside to ask for it, the waiter was sitting at the bar.Atmosphere: weird. The place was totally dead with a DJ playing outside. Up the street there was a band playing and full courtyard of people. By the time our waiter finally cashed us out the band was over so we couldn’t even make the most of the night.

The salsa was very good! I had the chili relleno, not the best one I've had, but the rice and beans were pretty good. I will be back to give it another try before I make my decision about this place.

Good 1st time experience. The fajitas were delicious, the chips and salsa hit it off as we waited the main entrée.

It was absolutely horrible. All of the servers and workers for that matter were sitting at the bar which we were next too. They all talked about the customers and the other employees that were not at work. There was water leaking from above spilling on the floor. We got two beers and fajitas for two and it cost $75. We got our fajitas the meat was burned to the skillet like all of it. Our tortillas were burnt to a crisp. The fajita plate had ribs on it as well. It was ice cold to the touch in assuming they were frozen. We left there with a bad taste of burnt food in our mouth and was embarrassed that they staff talked and cussed in front of the customers very unprofessional and to whoever is getting rides from your coworkers they are talking about how you don't pay gas

Don't eat here. You are wasting your money. Everything was burnt or hard. Nothing seemed fresh. No seasoning. Just don't do it.

It takes a long time to give food. And although the place is very lonely, they don't serve you quickly. Also, if you pay in cash, it's a price and if you pay with a card they increase it more. Here you can see 4 dollars more and the fact that I was paying with a debit card made it unfair to me and I won't return.
