We had a very good experience here recently. We unknowingly arrived just minutes before their closing time but the manager was willing to seat us anyway. Guests that came after us were turned away. The service from our waiter was excellent. He was very friendly and attentive even though we were keeping him there later than normal. We all enjoyed our food and the atmosphere.

The staff is excellent - very friendly and good at their jobs. The food is ok. I'd rather go to a mom and pop Mexican restaurant to get better food. This is very Americanized. We went here because this is where my friends wanted to go. I grew up close to the border with Mexico so I guess I'm a little more critical when I eat Mexican food. My friends think that this place is excellent so you should probably go with that.

Good service, good food and nice ambience. Their margaritas are worth trying . I would not support the Sangria though. It felt as if I was drinking cough syrup. Our server Skye was friendly.

My wife and I have gone there for lunch three times now. We've ordered off the lunch special menu. The meals have been good every time. The staff there have been great. It's definitely worth a try.

Will not be returning. Asked for an additional ingredient in my 'super' burrito or whatever they call the larger ones. (a very small) burrito came without said ingredient. The server asked if I still wanted the extra ingredient, which I did. She said she'll get it as a side, even though I had asked for it inside the burrito? Five minutes later I got the incorrect ingredient, and gave up.I paid $11 for the burrito and $4 for the wrong sides. Left hungry and annoyed. I haven't been here during dinner shift but lunch shift is not coming through.

Yummy food. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Will come back again.

The bean dip is phenomenal! Came in for dinner and it was phenomenal! Brindi was a great waitress! It was wonderful overall!

It's been a good 10+ years since I've been here since I moved away and I wish it was better. Staff were nice and restaurant was pretty clean. Food was mediocre. Beer selection is minimal but my family loved their margaritas so the bar does great there. Wouldn't seek this place out but would still go when meeting with family if this is what they chose.

We went in so exciting because I’ve been going to the Idaho Falls Garcia’s since I was a kid. We wanted to sit in the bar at a booth. We were sat. There was one other couple on the other side in a booth. NO ONE ELSE IN THE BAR. No one at the bar. We were there for over 25 minutes. Several waitresses walked by us didn’t say anything. A woman that seemed to be a manger or someone in charge walked by us a total of 3 times and said NOTHING. Our menus were on the table…. to indicate we were ready to order. After about 15 minutes my husband said if we don’t get service within the next few we are leaving. And Unfortunately we did not. After 25 minutes left. Got up and walked out past this woman and all the workers. No one said anything. Complete let down!

This place is amazing! We came here about 2 months ago. The waitress we had was so good aswell, but what really made this experience amazing was the bussers, I used to work as a busser at apple bees a long time ago, obviously I noticed.I think we had a busser named Jared or Jaron, Jaron/Jared was so good we tipped our table 50$. He was constantly checking to see if we needed refills on water. I am just overall impressed with the busser.
