I went with my family for the first time today. We were a party of 7. The service started good and then went downhill. We ordered fajitas, street tacos, chicken quesadilla, queso con chile, casuela de mariscos, beef burrito, a frozen mango margarita and 2 regular lime margaritas. The street tacos were amazing but the queso dip is overpriced for the amount they serve you and the taste was average, nothing special. We had to track down our server for refills, missing food items and chips refill. The manager of the establishment stopped the server from giving us more chips and salsa, soooo rude. The quesadilla is tiny and tasted okay, the frozen mango margarita was all alcohol and no mango. The casuela de mariscos was fantastic. The service has to improve, not interested in going back.

The food is ok for this part of the country, definitely not real Mexican food. The service was beyond horrible. Our waiter, who I guess was also the cashier, never checked on us once after delivering our food. After we finished eating, we waited about 10 minutes for our check. My wife had to go to the back of the kitchen to find the bus boy who told her our waiter had left to go move a car? The restaurant was basically left unattended for at least 15 minutes while other patrons arrived and while us and another group waited to pay for food so we could leave. Very unprofessional.

Quite good! I had the chicken and steak fajitas, and they were really good! The beans and rice that came with weren’t anything to write home about, and the salsa (although fresh) was not my favorite style—quite watery. Overall though, this was a good meal at a reasonable price. I would definitely go back!

Good quesadilla. And they even thanked me for the music (courtesy of TouchTunes)And I recommend the virgin mango daiquiri over the piña colada

Mediocre at best. Got a parking ticket because it took so long to get our food, late by 9 minutes cost us 40 bucks! Not worth the wait.

The enchiladas had an odd flavor, beans were watery and without seasoning, and service wasn’t great. It was a very odd experience.

A little cramped and some people had to wait for seating. Big party in the back. Food was all homemade and delicious. Mariachi band came in to perform for the party so they turned off the recorded music so we could listen too. Owners came around and checked on people multiple times.
