I had lunch here today with a couple of friends. This is a very nice, clean restaurant with excellent waiters.I ordered their lunch Tostada grande, you have choice of meat. I ordered chili verde, it was delicious, couldn’t eat it all. Another ordered enchiladas suizas, he said they were great.I also ordered their House Margarita on the rocks, they come in a 16oz glass, it was muy bueno.I can’t remember our waiter’s name-darn it, nevertheless, he did a outstanding job.

I ordered the Arroz con Pollo, absolutely delicious! I recommend. The margarita's are excellent as well.

Food was delicious and our server very personable. I would recommend giving this place a try!

Fresh salsa from the start and very good service. They offer a decent lunch special from Mon-Fri. Food had fresh taste and was hot temp wise.

The best nachos ever! All their food is delish and they serve beans with their chips and salsa! Yum!!

Good Mexican food buffet... all the normal choices for Sunday Brunch which we ate. Staff was friendly... lots of customers so that says something... price is reasonable too.

The foods amazing, the drinks are great, the staff is friendly! Definitely recommend coming here.

Bar is very dark for 5pm on a Wednesday even with 11 people seated. Bar also seemed kinda dingy and dirty. The pint glass my margarita in it looked dirty because of some print that was on the outside long mostly worn off leaving spotty ink remnants behind. The staff was very nice and attentive I only had a margarita chips salsa and beans which were very good also. But i feel they blew the maitenance and upkeep budget on the sign.

The service was great very friendly staff our food was very delicious, my only complaint is the tamales, they were not very tasty in fact they were quite gross!! Other than that it was a pleasant visit.
