Just walked in … smell is still there as reported by previous reviewer … skinny marg is close to non consumable because it has so much sour mix … bartender never asked me what size, just plopped a jumbo in front of me … had to ask for chips and salsa … food is better than the service but completely average … prices are above the quality of the food

Hands down the best homestyle mexican food in the Valley. Service is better than 5 stars, food is like mis abuelas, Atmosphere is perfect. The only restaurant that is comparable isArturos's in Brownsville. Please go see for yourself and TIP

Swung by to meet and grab a drink with a friend. Kareoke was ongoing. They decided to close place earlier than scheduled hours due to being empty. There was like two or three other tables occupied aside from us.

It always smells bad when you enter. Like burnt butter. And it's not very clean
Visit the restaurant on 09/06/2024 what a waste of money the food and service was horrible the worst that I have encountered. Puros borrachos.

Where do I begin? We had a party of 20 for my daughters basketball team and parents. Parents were seated at one table (13 adults) and kids (7 kids) at the other table. We get seated fairly quickly with 4-5 setups of salsa on each table and no menus or napkins or chips. The waiter comes to get drink orders. We ask for drink menus which he said they didn’t have any. Okay no big deal we just ordered what we wanted based off what we usually like. We get our chips before our drinks come out. Still not an issue. Still a little annoyed we haven’t been given any menus yet. We were eventually brought maybe 6 menus to share and the kids brought 2 to look over. Our drinks come out and we begin ordering for us and our kids. I can’t speak for everyone but I ordered for my 2 daughters sitting at the nearby table. Refills on drinks mainly came from one of the parents that found a pitcher of coke and a pitcher of sprite nearby and was able to fill our glasses because the waitstaff was very inattentive. Food came out fairly quickly. Still no napkins but one of the parents was able to track down a napkin dispenser from an empty table so he distributed napkins to everyone at our table. One of the kids and one of the adults at our table did not get their food which was then told to the waiter. Their new plates of food came out after everyone else was done eating. Now it’s time to split the checks. After a grueling 45 mins of everyone having to re explain what we ordered to the waiter, most of us got our tickets. But where’s mine? So I walk up front because at this point it’s been an hour since we’ve been ready to go, and I’m handed a ticket for $93.41 for 1 adult entree ($17.75), one margarita and 2 kids meals? Nope they charged us for adult meals for the kids. After explaining that can’t be right the waiter argues that’s what the kids ordered and that’s the price. But no I told you what to order for the kids and I never said $20 meals for them. Then he gets his manager who still doesn’t try to fix the issue. After 20 mins of this, I’m finally given a corrected bill for $73 which still wasn’t correct. I just was so desperate to get out of there at that point I just paid it. This was the absolute worst service of any restaurant I’ve ever been to.

This is a place you visit once, just to try... and you'll never have a need to visit again. Service was lousy and prices were high... nice hosts though.
