Average. This was very Americanized bland Mexican food. Your El Paso at home is better. Also, we were amongst the first customers and the tables and booths were dirty.

Bland and over priced food. Definitely the whitest "Mexican" place in town and calling it Mexican isn't even close. 19.5 for fajitas with no taste. Salsa that is only tomatoes. No refills on the mediocre chips. Elotes has no flavor despite the "seasoning". This place used to be the hit in town. Will be going down to habanero for some actual flavor, plus it's cheaper.

The food and service is great and the ladies working there are awesome!!!

Came here for drinks with co workers and it was great. We didn't stick around for food but we had nice strong drinks and great service. Will be back again when I'm in the area

Ate an early dinner there. Beautiful place, music did not set the tone for a Mexican restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. However the taste of our food was subpar. Both servings of our rice and beans were bland with no flavor. My wife’s chicken flautas and my beer battered cod tacos left a lot to be wanted from the looks of a Mexican restaurant. We walked in not knowing what to expect and we left wanting to go somewhere else. This place is in an excellent location but if all you are going for is a meal look somewhere else.

A little jem off the main drag. Had available seating on a Saturday night. Friendly staff there. Only 1 menu at the table and a sign with a qr code to scan for a menu. No drink menu so had to guess or strain to look at bar offerings. With that out of the way chips and chunky salsa came out. Drinks shortly after. Mains came out quickly. Food was very flavorful as the table had tacos, fajitas, and my steak burrito suizo style. 1st Mexican restaurant where I liked the rice that was served as a side. I will definitely be going back.

First visit. Chips were good. Not really fond of the Al Pastor. Kinda of expensive. A shot of Amaretto was over priced. And two tacos with a side salad was 12.50. Not at all worth it

This is our favorite restaurant to get Mexican food! The food is always fantastic and we’ve always had great service too. I highly recommend going here I always get the portabella mushroom fajitas and I am always very happy with it!

First time visit. I wasn’t to happy with the Al Pastor. It was kinda dry and not that appealing. Poppers were good. The Chips were good and the salsa was a bit spicy. Not sure I’d come back

In the past we used to like this place a lot more than we did this time. I'll start off by saying the chips and salsa were okay. The salsa had a slight kick to it. The chips were fresh and not overly salty. That's about the extent of the good that I can say. I ordered the shrimp tacos which is something that I've ordered many times in the past. Not only has the price gone up, but it also went from three down to two tacos. Each taco had three medium sized shrimp and there was some lettuce and some shredded white cheese. It was incredibly bland absolutely no flavor. It came with some sort of green sauce I'm assuming was an avocado sauce that you pour on. It definitely was not guacamole. It had zero flavor. Everything was so bland. The edges of the tortilla were dry and crunchy. The black beans and the rice only tasted salty, other than that there was no flavor. My husband got a burrito like he normally gets and it was reduced in size. It definitely was not that small before. He said it tasted okay. He had a double rice order. Didn't eat the beans And he said it was kind of flavorless. The food came out honestly less than 5 minutes after we ordered it, which doesn't mean quick service. It means that all the food was pre-made and just thrown together and stuck under a heating lamp to melt the cheese. We paid our bill and left and I will never go back. It was a major disappointment!
