Service was great - both the girl that brings the chips and our waiter were very attentive and nice, however, the meat portions on some of our dishes were ridiculous. Barely 4 oz of meat in one of their bigger plates (I weigh my food at home and know what that looks like)... Sister#1's salad was served with moldy bell peppers (see photo) and sister#2's enchiladas were hard on the edges (clearly the tortillas were old). Hardly any flavor on the dishes, and to make matters worse, I got sick within 15 minutes of leaving the restaurant. Also, I ordered hot water, which was served in a cup/mug, which had dirty residue on the rim. Had to send that back.

The service was very slow when we went and there were only 3 other tables when we were there. Food was okay. Nothing to brag about. The mango margarita was good. Not the best Mexican restaurant we’ve tried.

It’s okay. The drinks were wine only because their alcohol license expired, which is fine since I didn’t drink. The food was okay. The server was great.

I tried the chorizo taco for the first time. It was mediocre. The food was nice and hot and I was served quick. Although the host wasn't too friendly and couldve smiled more but he did keep check of what I needed.

It was clean, otherwise it would be 1 star. The food was not good, it made our stomachs hurt, and the Cokes we got were too carbonated. We will not go back here, not impressed.

This is truly a disaster of a place! The owner is micromanaging the people that are suppose to be cleaning tables and they are now the servers. They made several mistake with the food order, the owner charge me for a bottle of water I never ordered and he charged me for using my credit card to pay the bill. I wanted to give it a second try but now I remember why I didn't like it the first time. I walked out without a bag carrying my leftover and 2 drinks. This is one establishment that should close down. The owner tries to play a fast one for you to hurry pay the bill while adding stuff you never ordered. Lesson learn

I have never in my life seen such a poor excuse for mexican food or food in general. I whole heartedly wish I would have skipped dinner or gone to taco bell, which is hundreds of times better tasting than this places old dry ground beef dishes smothered in tomato sauce. Seriously, don't waste your time or money.

Our favorite waiter, Joel, is now at Santa Rosa and we love it. The salsa is awesome and they serve chiliquiles without the egg on top (which is how I like it). Drinks are good as well.They have a medium cheese dip for the same price as a small at other places.

This was a great stop for lunch for our family. It is a nice well lit and clean place. The staff is wonderful. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious.

Service was slow, but the food was really good. I ordered the #18. It was a burrito, taco, rice and beans. They made the burrito exactly how I asked and this was the only rice I’ve ever actually liked from a restaurant. To go orders get a .50c charge, but still come with chips and salsa. Ample parking. Recommended!
