Our first trip here. The front parking lot was almost full by 11:15 am which seemed to give the impression that the locals think highly of this place. For the most part I think they are correct.Service was friendly and quick. Menus appear to be well worn from use.Chips and salsa was delivered to the table and drink order taken in a timely manner. Chips were fresh and salsa was good (not overly hot, although my preference would had been slightly sweeter)I ordered a basic simple combination (enchilada, tamale, rice and beans). Portions were decent. The rice and refried beans were about what I expected. Unfortunately in my case, and I don't think it is the norm, but my tamale and enchilada seemed ever so slightly overcooked. One small bite of the enchilada was almost crispy and the tamale was not as soft as it should have been). Definitely edible, I know that I can be picky, but I imagine they usually would do better.My wife enjoyed the skillet chicken meal, it looked perfectly cooked. The cilantro rice was tasty and the roasted corn put it over the top.Both of us ate every bite, and we will visit this place again.

Service was not great tonight. First, the hostess didn't welcome us or anything. He just stared until I said table for 5. The wait was fine, but then we waited even longer once we got a table. The server didn't check on us once in between getting finally drinks and eventually getting food, which took a while. We had to flag the waiter down several times for drink refills and missing food items. Not one time did he ask us the entire meal if we needed anything. It felt like a burden after the first couple times to continue to flag him down. There was a piece of plastic in my drink and the chips were so stale. Not their best night for food or service.

Has very much improved. Clean and organized. Friendly staff. Service very quick. We ordered the trio dip appetizer with bean dip, queso, and guacamole. Very good. The steak chimichanga was delicious. Steak was tender and seasoned well.

While the food was great as always the service left little to be desired. Waiter was clip with us, no greeting, no smile, seemed annoyed. Never refilled my drink. Only asked if we needed anything while walking past. No even slowing down or giving us a chance to respond. This was my anniversary dinner. What a letdown.

Delicious! We were just passing through and it was a great place to stop. The story behind the small chain is on the menu and loved that the owner is stopping with 4 to keep it manageable and quality good. Our food was great...street tacos and shrimp quesadilla. Our waiter was super nice and efficient. Will definitely stop at any of them as we travel a lot.

I had literally just moved to Manor, Ga from Houston Texas and this restaurant was recommended by one of our moving guys. I cane with 3 people who brood us move across the country and my Father- In- Love, who had driven in from SC. We had about a 25-30 minute wait, it was a Saturday that was ok. We get seated and 3 people are not there yet and we tell our Waiter we are here to drink eat and enjoy one another, as it has been a long 4 days of packing in Texas, driving over 1000 miles, unloading our truck and then enjoying our last meal with our friends before they left the next day. 2 people ordered alcohol and we ordered cheese dip. As that was delivered our waiter pressured is to order. We told him again we are taking our time to enjoy and eat. They had MANY p tables free some that needed to be clean some that were ready to set people so it was not like we were waisting time. When my Husband & Father-In-Love got to us they both ordered an adult beverage and again the waiter pressured is to order. It was extremely rude and frustrating. I felt so bad for my guests I got sick to my stomach and didn't even eat anything! I ? one of my friends reassured the waiter he would be compensated well and not to worry we were here to visit. Even the take next to us who was there before us and still there after us made a comment on how rude he was. My friends and family said the food was ok, no complaints however the staff needs some work on their people skills. It was hard to find our waiter for refills and when we stopped other wait staff they were just as spiteful as our waiter. I do pray it was just him having a bad day.

This was not a good experience. I met my daughter there for lunch and my so called "Chicken Tortilla Soup" was so watery and bland, and her chimichangas were dry, and tasteless. I am Mexican American and I have eaten a lot of Mexican food all my life. This was probably the worst I've ever eaten. Plus, the service was not great. The young kid who seated me was not friendly at all and I had to ask him to seat me. He just stared at me by the door. And my waiter pretty much forgot me. He brought my daughters food 10 minutes BEFORE mine. So she waited for my food to get to the table so we could eat together and her food got cold in the process. The women's bathroom smelled horrible and was dirty. Just an all around bad experience! I will not be going back.

Very nice staff. Our waiters we all nice even though it's busy we had fast service and good fresh food. Love them, looking to have them cater my wedding.

The food is great. The service was very slow. If you decide to eat here, make sure you have nowhere else you need to be.

Great food! Great staff! Never had a bad experience!Update 1/29/2022Only complaint is took a little longer than it should have to get drinks & food. Food came out cold, it was reheated I believe, rather than new plates.
