My favorite anytime restaurant! Great prices, great value for the money. Lunch specials, some dinner specials. Laid back. Family environment, plenty of big screen TVs, bar, booths, tables. We always leave happy and full.

Great spot. Nice staff. Quick service. Value for food is good.Not the finest dining but nobody leaves hungry and everyone seems to enjoy the meal.

I asked for rice without vegetables and my server Cristina wasn't sure if that was possible because she thought the veggies are bought already with the rice. I mentioned that it would be fine even with the vegetables, it wasn't much of a bother. But she was correct, they were bought and cooked that way. And she PICKED OUT EVERY VEGETABLE!!! That made me feel so happy that she would do that for me! Of course I felt bad but that's 100/100 customer service! ?

Came here for the first time to try somewhere new, the lady who sat us was not the friendliest. Our server was nice thank goodness. I ordered a tamale and a cheese quesadilla, we ordered a kids taco for my son, and for my husband the super pico. The food was came out quickly but it was just average tasting, nothing special. It was difficult for us to eat because it was swelteringly hot in the restaurant despite fans being on. My husband was literally sweating and my son and I were red in the face from how toasty it was.

Everything we've had here has been delicious, a cut above the typical strip mall mexican restaurant.Portions are very generous.Was immediately one of our favorites!

Fast service, warm fresh food, cold large drinks and fresh warm chips with cool salsa, all less in 10 minutes, waiter was a champ as well. 10/10

My family of 6 and I went an hour before closing of the restaurant and we asked if it was ok for us to sit and eat still because they were cleaning the floors already but they sat us and said we still had time. They brought us out chips and salsa and a few minutes later they had a younger guy come and tell us that we shouldn’t have been sat because they had already turned off the grill and they didn’t have anyone willing to take out order. There was clearly at least 4 servers! How do you turn everything off an hour before close!? Very disappointing and not the way to run a business! Not one apology from anyone and they wouldn’t even look at Us!

We enjoyed our lunch here! The food was fresh and fast, the servers were friendly, and it was a very clean and pleasant.

The food was delicious. First time eating there. Definitely will go back to try other things.

The food was about below average for Mexican. My steak fajitas were clearly not freshly cooked and my wife, who is the furthest thing from Mexican, makes much better enchiladas. Service was very poor. Our waitress seemed annoyed to take our order and was rude/abrubt. Didnt recieve multiple sides we asked for. Two tables next to us actually got up and left because they waited over 20 minutes after ordering and still didn't have drinks, and it didn't seem to be a particularly busy night. The overall atmosphere is pretty weird, not that it really matters. What was annoying was the harsh white flickering lights above our table. Overall pretty disappointed we went there and definitely will not go again.
