My family and I sat for an hour before they finally took our order. We had to ask them ourselves to order food. Restaurant was basically empty and staff was standing around eating and doing nothing. Our food finally comes and half of it was wrong. My Mexican hamburger was so burnt it looked like a hockey puck. Would never recommend this place.

This place was just okay. Edible but nothing special. Caters to an American palette. If you like a more authentic Mexican dining experience, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Service...poor. One other table of people there for lunch 2:20 in the afternoon. Server asks if we would like drinks, we said yes we'll have the Happy hour special, the Margaritas....it was written on the board as you entered. This seemed to confuse her...Happy hour? what happy hour? She looks at the board and says ok. I say 2 margaritas, she replies 4? I said no just one and he'll have the other one...She says large or small . I say small. She brings one large and walks away. I call over a different girl and I said, "No, we each want one." I don't want to complicate it by pointing out we each wanted 1 small......3 staff one on phone at register takes our order 15 minutes later. The other girl starts vacuming....and vacuming. I say to my husband,"vacuming, not very welcoming" . The girl stops after several minutes. When we get our food, no one checks on us. I needed another napkin, not an emergency. I could have used more water. Later she asks if were done and brings the check.....No one picks it up off our table. I go up after several minutes and stand by cash register...the 3 girls are laughing and eating lunch in the back. One comes up and I pay the bill....at least their smiling.

I enjoyed this restaurant. There green chili was pretty good and the carne asada was well seasoned. Chips and salsa were okay just because I wanted more and never received any. No big deal when the entree was delicious.

Chips and salsa were great, plentiful, and complimentary. I ordered the Enchilada Montada - a cheese enchilada topped with pork. It came to my table without the pork. When I asked a waiter about it, he said the pork was in it. After a few bites it was obvious it had no pork. I asked the waiter again, and he could see I was right. He took it back to the kitchen and brought the same dish back out with something sprinkled on top that wasn't pork. Don't know what it was, but I ate it anyway. My stomach was a little uneasy the next morning.

The young lady that brought me drinks, she was very kind and the waiter he was okay. I got the chile relleno bean burrito and beef taco. Chile relleno really actually tasted like dog food the bean burrito was okay the chili wasn't the best tasting but it was edible and the taco meat was soggy beef. The only thing that was good out of this dinner was the salsa and chips and margarita

Great food. Their chimichanga is rivaled by none! We eat there often and have always had a great experience!

Loved the food. Better then typical Florida Mexican restaurant.. nice service too ? ? ? ?

I ordered the two Chile Relleno dinner, came with chile rellenos, beans and rice. When they put the plate infront of me, I thought it was a mistake. The chile rellenos were maybe a little more than 2 inches long... Almost the same size of frozen pizza rolls. When I cut into them, it was slices of peppers with melted cheese. Very disappointed with portion size especially for the cost. The wait staff was friendly but it took a long time to get our food.

Unfortunately food not that great! Cold temperaturesPoor quality and taste! Did not seem fresh? Chips and salsa were good service was ok. Don’t think I will be back
