Had the Shrimp Crema and it was delicious! My fiance has fajitas and they looked and tasted amazing!

Very good food. I had my usual Taco Salad in a tortilla bowl. It was served piping hot. The environment was clean and noise level was appropriate. Our server was oh so very polite and attentive. We will be back, but with more ppl next time.

Atmosphere was great,very clean and pleasant to the eye. It took a while to get seated and orders to be taken but food came out pretty fast after that. The food was very Americanized and the place was full of senior citizens so with that being said I think they don't season the food to keep it palette friendly for them because the food was very flavorless and just lacked any type of love. For the price you just expect more than taco bell quality but this food had us wishing we'd just settled for Taco Bell. We were disappointed and had high hopes because we'd heard good things but we weren't impressed and won't be back. Sorry

ALL the staff was amazing. One of us is autistic and had noise canceling headphones on. They asked if we would like a quieter area. Every single person was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and the portions were crazy big. They had fantastic to-go containers. The entire experience was great

Food was delicious and portions were enough for two meals. Seating was cozy near the fireplace. Service was very attentive. I would definitely go back.

Highly disappointed. Will not return.
Normally we dine in, being pregnant and exhausted we decided to order to go. Never again. The portion was half the normal size and still the same price.
I always order flautas and there were four, not the normal six. I literally had four bites of beans, six bites of rice (not large bites either as I eat with small forks). I share my food with my toddler so I ordered a side of tortillas (4 flour) and did rice, beans, & sour cream rolls so I was able to see only one fork of beans per tortilla. I ordered extra sour cream for $1.50 and it was the normal amount that came with the plate.
My partner always gets steak fajitas and it was all green peppers.
The only good thing I can say is the flour tortillas are homemade …
I left a two star because the food tastes good as usual.

Super kind bartender Molly and a fun kind bar vibe while waiting for work to be done on my car. Cold chilled beers. My crunchy tacos were more like a taco salad because of so much cheese and lettuce but still an amazing time. Kind regulars. I'm on my way out of the state but wish this was my
New hangout.

We got to go for 2 that cost 50 bucks and the fajitas taste like black jellybeans…… We’ve eaten here years ago in restaurant and they did not taste like that….. Waste of money.

Whoever just made the to-go Arroz Con Pollo with extra chips and beans, thank you so much. My life was going bad until I ordered that plate. Hope that you hit the Mega Millions and never work a day in your life again.
