How is this place still open. First time trying it and I got the taco salad. The chicken taste like it was cooked in water. The shell tastes like it was cooked in old grease. It feels dirty when you walk in the bathroom are nasty and smells like they sprayed roach spray in the bathroom.

The food has been excellent. The service seems a bit more relaxed than other places. The environment seems to be more of a local bar hangout spot.

This is a pretty good spot to get some Tacos and Enchiladas. They have live music and a bar for those who drink. I like the Marilyn Monroe wall ?

Definitely not the same place I remember eating years ago. Definitely needs to be on kitchen nightmares. Call Gordon. Rice was hard been sitting out food was reheated definitely not fresh. And way over priced for the quality….nobody had uniforms, everyone had regular clothes…. I’ve never put bad reviews but I feel like people should know before they waist money…. Honestly we should’ve went threw a drive threw.

The worst place ever. Racist, rude and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, but to my surprise, there was no chicken in it. Additionally, my chimichanga was missing the beans. The lack of attention to detail in preparing these basic dishes was frustrating. The flavors were incomplete, and it left me unsatisfied. I hope the restaurant improves its quality control to ensure customers receive what they order.

I hardly ever leave bad reviews, but I hope I can keep someone else from wasting their time and money on this place. First off, I received someone else's order. I'm glad I did because I got a full refund on the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten in my life. The beef in the fajitas tasted like they dropped a salt shaker into it (and I like salty food). The guacamole was bland and tasteless, the queso was not even real cheese (Tostitos in a jar is better). The chicken enchiladas were also bland and tasteless. We didn't even like the chips! It was so beyond awful that I felt compelled to warn others. We threw it in the trash and ordered from our usual place.

Very friendly owner, they severed very large portions but the food was not enjoyable. The restaurant is more of a sports bar feel than Mexican

After they moved I misplaced them. However, the salsa and queso are just what I like. My to-go was prepared quickly and the bartender was very friendly.

3 couples, 1st. time there. We had 6 different meals. Frozen Margaritas were above average. Excellent American Music. Not loud like many Mexican/Latino places. Many people coming in before & more when leaving!

Standard Tex-Mex fare. Nothing to go out of your way for, but if you're in the area, you could do worse. It's the Mexican equivalent of Chili's. Service was good.

Went to this restaurant this week it was horrible down right nasty its been years since I had been there so I decided to try again I'll never go back I couldn't eat the food I didn't ask for a to go box and the waitress didn't even ask if I wanted one she took the plate and dumped itI assume she's use to doing that I don't even believe the 4 star rating that place can use a good cleaning and the worst chips salsa I've ever had ????
