You can only get 2 pitchers of margs per table. What a bummer. 3 star rating for that

Forced to sit in bar area away from the somewhat a little more private tables. Forced to pay a high tip for horrible service. They don’t care at all about the customer. I spent a lot of money and felt forced out when we didn’t even finish our drinks yet. This place went downhill big time after the owner died. I have been going for 25 years and witnessed the change. Too much disappointing things to list. Read the bad reviews, they are true!! I hope they make dramatic changes on how they treat customers or just go out of business. I had enough and will not return.

I really wanted to like this place because I had heard from friends that it was a good, affordable spot. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to that. We ordered pickup and were surprised to see extra charges — an additional $0.25 per item and $6 for cheese on the tacos — that weren’t clearly listed on the menu. That felt frustrating and unexpected. On top of that, the food quality was disappointing; the tacos in particular were not good at all. I hope they improve the pricing transparency and overall quality.

Loved this place since the 80's. They expanded with a new dining room. Food is pretty much the same. In other words, great. I love that it hasn't changed the decor, and it feels nostalgic. To someone new, it might seem dated. I like it that way.

Absolutely Disappointed Not the Same Place Anymore! I have been coming to this restaurant for 30 years, and I never thought I’d be writing a review like this. The experience lately has been unbelievably frustrating and honestly disrespectful.
My husband and I went in, and despite there being two completely open tables and an entire side of the restaurant empty, they tried to seat us squeezed in between other people. Not just near them right in front of strangers, with my husband placed across from someone else as well. It made absolutely no sense and was extremely uncomfortable and I refused to sit with a stranger!
It gets worse. The hostess then walked over to a man at the bar who was in the middle of eating a taco and told him to scoot over to make space. Who does that? That is beyond rude to both the customer already eating and to us.
This is now the second time this exact situation has happened. It’s not a fluke it’s clearly how they’re choosing to operate. After 30 years of loyalty, being treated like this is unreal. There was no reason to pack people together when space was clearly available.
The lack of consideration, basic hospitality, and customer comfort is shocking. This place used to feel welcoming. Now it feels chaotic and inconsiderate.
Sadly, this may be the end of a 30-year tradition for us. No meal is worth feeling uncomfortable and disrespected.

Went to this place for lunch. Place shouldn't be considered authentic Mexican. Food doesn't seem to be made fresh as it came out about 3 minutes after ordering. I ordered the steak and bean tacos but the steak didn't have flavor, the beans seen to be from a can or dehydrated. They won't let you in with any drinks including water, the drinks make sense but they don't have tap water so you are forced to buy bottled water. They add 18% to your tab for gratuity for a reason. Place was very dark and gave you a dirty impression. Seats were wabbling and tight. Overall not a good experience.
Been going since I was a kid and still enjoy every bite of food and the relaxed atmosphere. Salute

Water with your meal is only in bottles, which you get charged for. The bill comes with an automatic 18% service fee added. After the total is another tip selection of 20% and 22%!!!! Most people don't look over the bill closely and wind up tipping 38-40% of their over-priced meal which is served still on paper plates! This was my favorite go to for over 45 years, but after this experience not any more.
