“Honestly I’ve been coming here for years, and the food is always affordable, and delicious. The chips and salsa are kinda meh, but I go there for the actual food, and always skip out on that because the chips there aren’t very tasty. If you’re looking for super authentic then you might be disappointed. Now it’s not full blown Tex Mex, but it definitely has its influences on some of the dishes. The tortillas are homemade, and the staff is nice. Parking can suck at times.“

“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

“Food was great! Lots of meat! Love Sundays when kids can eat free! Staff was so friendly and offered lots of upgrades and choices but the best part of this place is, i left my purse on Sunday March 3rd..i didnt notice until 10p Sunday night.i called and a nice girl answered! She was happy to help and told me Russel ( the GM) was there doing inventory and he said it was ok for me to come by at 1045p! I was amazed anyone answered the phone at that time let alone, let me come get my purse! Everything was still there and i am so happy how this turned out! Thank you so much for holding my purse and allowing me to come. I have already posted about you on twitter here and next will me google and yelp! Thank you so much!!!“
