Always so good. Friendly service and great quality.

Racist and rude. I was not treated fair and was profiled immediately upon walking through the door. Alex was the worst waiter I've ever had in my life. Really disappointed with the service, food and staff. My food was cold, bland and incorrect. Waiter (Alex) did not come back to follow-up and had a nonchalant attitude. He also refused to correct the cold incorrect food but instead told me it was nothing he could do about it. COVID has really changed customer service and professionalism. Unfortunately, after several years of going to this restaurant I will NEVER return. Be AWARE!

I eat here almost once a week! Their food tastes great and they are quick! Food has always been fresh! We love it here. Plus family restaurants.

We have been here many times before. Always excellent service and great tasting food. This was on Cinco De Mayo and even though they were very busy they got us in quickly. I highly recommend this place.

Ordered 3 beef tacos. In the beef tacos I found a piece of chicken, a piece of tomato skin like thingy, and a piece of PLASTIC! Looks like ziplock bag type material. Will never eat here again.Edited to add their “salsa” tastes like marinara sauce with cilantro in it.

Atmosphere great and staff friendly . Food was very bland. The lunch fajitas had no seasoning at all. Just chicken and vegetables coated in oil. Too greasy , did not eat.

Great place great service Excellent food Good service Delicious drinks

Expectations...for good, consistent, very-quickly-served Mexican, you can't miss. Lived in North Durham for 14 years and have come here dozens of times, knowing it's fast and family-friendly (no longer a concern), has the basics to feed the kids, and plenty of choices if you want to explore something different. Super frosty mugs for the beer drinker.

Good food, good service, good price!

Great atmosphere, the staff is wonderful and meals are great. The pricing really helps stretch out the budget. Thank you.
