The fajitas were okay but the menu could use reinvention — not quite Mexican, nor Italian… everything we had was pretty bland

My hubby & I took his 99-1/2 year old mother & his sister here on a beautiful Sunday afternoon . Everything was great. This was our first time here. We were seated at a window table which was nice. They immediately gave us a good amount of tortilla chips, salsa & a lovely cheesy bean dip. Our drink orders were taken promptly too. I ordered the carnitas dinner which was juicy & cooked to perfection. I substituted the whole black beans with refried beans. My sister-in-law had the chili verde and loved it. My mother-in-law had the carnitas tostada meal which was enormous & delicious. My hubby opted for the Negro Y Azul, which is a huge salad of mixed greens, red onion, crumbled blue cheese & a balsamic vinaigrette topped with large slices of tender marinated grilled flat iron steak. The steak was juicy and plentiful. We all loved our meals and we each took home at least half of them cause they were huge! Our server was very good. He was attentive without being intrusive. The photos are of my carnitas & my hubby’s negro & azul salad. Would I come back here or recommend it to others? You bet! It is not cheap but for the size & quality of the food, I’d say it’s well worth it.

Used to love it here. Went for my 67 birthday with family. It was horrible! We picked it because we have always loved the food. Not just one meal was bad, every single meal was terrible. We had enchiladas in which the cheese was coagulated and the sauce dried and burnt around the edges. Beans & rice were crunchy on top. Grandkids had the quesadillas and the tortillas were dried out and curled at the edges. Like the food had been sitting a long time before being served. And after ordering we waited for over 30 min to be served. Overall a disappointment and don’t think we will be going back or recommending to anyone. Such a letdown!!!

Had a great time. The service was good. However, they've stopped making my favorite dish so I'm gonna have to look for a new one. Wasn't overly impressed with the carnitas. Something new next time.

Best chips and salsa in town. Great service and a great selection of margaritas. Food ain't bad either.

The incredible friendly service was the most obvious. We had lunch here and the drinks were outstanding! Best nachos I have ever had.

Great food and atmosphere

The food was unbelievable!!!!! Service was spectacular, even for a simi busy night. Oh my God, so good, gonna eat there again without question. The appetizers, and main course, dessert, all good. I loved the churro ice cream! YUMMY!!!!!!! Chicken tacos were awesome, the steak salad was cooked to perfection! Nachos appetizer are fabulous. I wish I took pictures, but I was having too much of a great time I forgot to. Look up the website, the pictures there work just fine.

First time our family all got together to make up for all the birthdays we missed because of covid. They were wonderful! Good and service were terrific. I absolutely recommend the king salmon! Cooked moist flakey the sauce with shrimp melted in your mouth. Fresh veggies and the rice perfectly complemented the mealThey gave us complementary bday cakes. Delicious!!

What a great treat. Large menu and great drinks! I had the pork verde in green sauce! Sooo tender and perfectly done.
