Worst service. Walked in and there was no host available. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but they did seem understaff. A few of the waitresses there walked right by us and did not greet us. Once we were finally seated, it took about 10 minutes to get a menu, that we had to request. Another 10 to get our drink order , which never came. We ended up walking out.

The atmosphere was creepy, there was homeless people walking in and out while we were eating.The reason I am rateing it two stars out of five is because the food was okay, except for the chicken tamale it was old and very dry,And the chips were burnt.

The Margarita’s were good but the food is not tasteless! Dry meat inside burrito and a drizzle of sauce and cheese a very cold,hard supposedly wet burrito ugh ugh

Avoid! Food was horrible. Salsa, nachos, burrito and quesadilla all obviously pre-cooked and tasteless. Server acted annoyed the whole time. Would never go back. Sad for such a nice looking place in a great location.

Loved the theming in this restraunt. A little over the top but fun. Food was good. Started with chips and salsa. Chips had low salt which was a nice change. Salsa had excellent flavor, and mild on the heat. Steak enchiladas looked great. Tasted good. Service was near perfect. Server always appeared at just the right time. Capped it off with fried ice cream. Expected the glaze to be a little sweeter. All in all good experience.

The food was pretty good. There are lots of different options to choose from; everything from chicken and beef to vegetarian and seafood! The cheese dip however…INCREDIBLE!! The margaritas are huge as well.The only downside is the service. We came at a very busy time, so service wasn’t spectacular. We had to wait quite a while to order just drink and our server wasn’t very attentive but she did apologized for our wait.

Wonderfully authentic restaurant with very attentive service and big portions of satisfying food. I got the Hot and Spicy burrito, which actually had a good kick to it, and was a great balance of meats, beans, and rice in literally almost every bite. I left very full, and very happy.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. If you like day old food, ordered food and it came right out. Never been to a restaurant that doesn't prepare fresh food. Couldn't been cooked that quick. I believe food is already done and they warm it up in microwave. I would NOT recommend this place but hey eat at your own risk. Salsa taste like hot tomato paste. Definitely NOT AUTHENTIC Mexican food. Very pricey for the food being as bland is it was.

Best food in town. Friendly service, great ambience, truly a must try.

The staff is very nice, and the food is pretty good but nothing stellar. It's a convenient and fast place to grab launch.
