They bring a side of pico de gallo unpromted with the complimentary chips and will charge you $3.07 if you accept it. What, am I supposed to refuse it and have you take it back? If you add carne asada to a super nachos appetizer, it becomes $26.98. Of course, the upcharge is not broken out separately (even legal?), so youre left guessing. They also charge .35 for a togo bag. They also dont drop off the check, they come and print the reciept 0.4 feet away from your face and wait for you to pull out your card. No wonder it was empty and the vibes were OFF. SHADY

A very local and small place. Their salsa was delish. We ordered jalapeno poppers which were spicy and good. The spinach enchiladas with rice and beans was also nice. Their Margaritas were HUGE. I mean literally very big for 1 person to finish. Flan was yummy

This place is amazing!! I ordered a burrito when a really cool magician came up to my table and started doing tricks! That when I found out that this place employed him and that’s super cool!! He did cool coin and card tricks and for one of them I got to keep the card he did my trick with! Very cool and will definitely be coming again! I’ve never been to a restaurant that had a magician!

Great service, fantastic food! Very friendly with my toddler. Much larger establishment than appears from the road. We will be back for more!

We visited this place after our visit to the mt Vernon tulip farms. We were kind of hungry and this place was right next to I-5 We ordered from the vegetarian menu that they had ! The vegetarian burger and the fajita veggies. It took about 40 min to get the food on our table . The wait was way too long and it felt like the waiters kept ignoring us. Finally the serving lady acknowledged our frustration and told us that there was a huge order in one of the tables and that's why the subsequent orders were delayed. A heads up would have been nice Coming to the food, we have like what we ordered. They are kind of on the blander side when it comes to taste, but overall they are well cooked and fresh I really liked my rice and beans. The sour cream was pretty fresh as well Overall good food but mediocre service

Having recently moved to the area, I realized how good the Mexican food was back home, but not at this place. The food was absolutely tasteless —no spice whatsoever. The salsa tasted like it came out of a can. How can you screw up basic tacos- taco bell is better. I asked for a lunch menu, and the waitress removed the red-colored paper that had been slipped inside the plastic cover covering the entire lunch menu. I would not go back again.

Truly a classic Mexican Restaurant, great food and good service. We ordered the fajitas. They taste great.

We ordered out a mix of standard and vegetarian food for the team. Easy to call in order and pickup, and the food was great!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian sampler is a great idea to try the vegetarian dishes all together in smaller portions.

Food was pretty good and staff were very nice. Their salsa was really good. Just the right amount of spicy.One little thing though that i didn’t like and really took me aback was the suggested gratuities on the credit card scanner when i went to pay. (25%, 35% and 45%) I found this quite shocking and frankly scammy (maybe that is not the intention, but that is the impression it gives). I couldn’t help but think this is designed to scam money out of drunk or patrons who simply don’t get a good look before selecting an option. After reading through various comments, it seems this really irritated other patrons as well.

This is my first time visiting this location. We are in need of finding a restaurant that was at the halfway point. I knew my family member enjoyed Mexican so I found this location. It's kind of hidden gem, as it's very easy to drive right past. Everything was excellent. From the chips and salsa, to the shrimp ceviche appetizer. Will definitely be back in the near future.

Good food for great price. Service is always good. House margaritas and super nachos are a must try
