I would like to start off by saying that there was one person who made an impact on us when we were seated. Her name is Jenny, and she was very pleasant, genuine and very attentive. This review does not reflect her service. We ordered the Wet Carnitas Burrito and let me tell you... it does not live up to the restaurant name. Unfortunately for me, the smell of the meat did not penetrate through the tortilla, and it was only discovered when I bit into it... It kicked me in the face... Hard. The reason I say this is because the carnitas reeked of Feet! I thought it was maybe the cheese on top or the combination of ingredients, but my wife confirmed it as well. It was nice to look and that pretty much sums it up.

Amazing place margaritas where amazing.Service was great.Best grilled chicken burrito I've had.Can't say enough good things

As I walked in I was met with a " Mad dog" stair down from a older man coming from behind the bar. When I said hello, he muttered something in Spanish under his breath as he turned away from me. I walked to the pick up counter and was not greeted by either of the girls behind the counter.Another water by the name of Trevor walked up and started to stare at me so I smiled and said Hello, but apparently that upset him because he looked like he wanted to start a fist fight!I'm not sure where they are finding these people but they don't know anything about customer service!I guess there mad for working at a restaurant and decided to take it out on customers?Food was over priced and gross.I've never seen a flower tortilla look like this.

Very good carnitas but a bit pricey. Sad they don't have family packs to go. Had to order everything separately.

My granddaughter always says: "everybody deserves a second chance". So - SECOND TIME - for Taco Tuesday. My-My what a disaster! (The People are nice - that's not a complaint) We ordered Taco Tuesday special and Chili Relleno the first time - The Relleno was fair - other places do it much better. But those TACOS - HORRIBLE. Chicken was white meat, DRY and tasteless - that's bad enough, but the crispy tacos were THICK and HARD - I had to peel most of it off. I poured tons of salsa onto the chicken to moisten it and to give it SOME flavor. No success. The chips with the nice salsa - same thing - THICK and tasteless. The oil used has to be ridiculously 'healthy' oil as it makes the chips dry, dry, dry and yucky. We've tried other things at this restaurant and some good/some not. It's an iffy place. You're never sure what you'll get. We first came here about 5+ years ago and thought they were REALLY GOOD - but the most recent years, they failed at the good part. Again - the people are truly nice. PLEASE change your cooks - they are awful.

Good food for the price portions are worth it. I didn't have to weight long for food.. The help is polite.

This place is gem, delicious mexican food, drinks, and their breakfast is amazing and served all day!
