The food here was good but it's not memorable. I got the Wednesday lunch special, which was the corn enchiladas with beans and rice. The beans and rice here were good. I felt like the chicken inside the enchiladas was cooked well and the cheesiness on the enchiladas was nice. It was a cheesy bite each time. I give it three stars because even though it was good it's just not as good as other Mexican places I've tried in the area. I would give the service three stars as well. The waitress did her job but she wasn't attentive. She did her job in that she took our order and served my boyfriend and I our food. She may not have been attentive because there were other customers there but that was my experience.

Yes, it’s Cinco De Mayo. Yes, you were extremely busy and quite apparently short staffed. I’m sorry, but that is a poor excuse to ignore two tables with customers outside in the heat on your patio with no ceiling fan I might add. The other couple out there with us were using napkins to wipe sweat off of themselves. Both tables, once our food arrived, received no more service. No one came out to see if we needed more drinks. No one came to see if my son wanted a refill on his all you can eat tacos. We all understood that you were busy but you sat people outside on a 90+ degree day with no fan and kept all of the focus on your customers inside in the air conditioning. You could have offered extras right away due to being so busy. We all would have understood that. Don’t seat people outside in the heat if you cannot cope. We finished our meals at 10 minutes to six, probably earlier than that but I didn’t know there was such a problem or I would have looked at the clock sooner. The other couple gave up, went inside and apparently paid and got a to go container. It was 6:25 when we’d had enough. No tacos, no drinks, not even the check. Completely ignored. Thanks a lot. The food was ok, nothing special, but we will not be back.

Not quite sure how this restaurant was ever rated with 4 stars. They give you about 10 chips for 4 people and the salsa I'm not even sure what that was, worst salsa I have ever eaten we could not even eat it. If you order additional chips on the menu they will charge for them. The service was lousy and there was only one table besides us with 2 people. It took 15 minutes to get 4 sodas.. The food came out pretty quick but it was horrible. Very rarely do I ever give a bad rating, typically I will just not do a review if it is negative, but I would not want someone else eating here expecting it to be a 4 Star restaurant.

Service was good but a little slow, but it appeared there was only one server. Menu is a bit limited but food was served hot and had good flavor. 45.00 for two people off the lunch menu seems a bit high but what isn't these days?

Very good meal!! The waitress was not hanging around and I liked that. I was able to visit with my company uninterrupted!! Clean...

Very good food. We ordered the beef enchiladas and they were excellent.

The experience wasn’t great for us. The food was alright but the salsa not good and we found it to be overpriced. We were up charged for something the server didn’t inform us about, so we asked about it and the manager told us it was stated on the menu and wouldn’t take it off. We double checked and it wasn’t clearly stated on the menu at all. This place definitely needs some work!

I like supporting local businesses and want to list the good things first:1. One of the less expensive places open downtown in the evening (but we were the only ones there.2. The food was relatively good.3. We were able to sit outside.The complaints:A. It smelled funny inside (so we opted for outside).B. The salsa was not in line with typical American tastes (but they did bring us extra chips.C. Some of the meat was chewy ( but the rest was good).

Delicious food, chips are made fresh that day and the tacos are perfect size and taste. I recommend coming here to eat. Even the inside of the restaurant is authentic looking ? I give it 5 stars ? ? great prices friendly staff ?
