We go here on a regular Basis and always had a good experience, even during covid protocols. Now their efforts have increased, food waist has gone down so not to increase prices. They have the most fluid working staff I have scene outside of proper corporate restaurants. Out serverbwas over the top amazing as well. Large portions, great food, great atmosphere in the dining area.... only down side is they need to recuit real bartenders and not just drink pourer's... I had an amazing 14" breakfast burrito that became a 3 day mean. My spouse had the pork meal and a chili side. We also have an amazing strawberry Margherita. Total bill less than $30

2nd time here. Not a big fan of Mexican food myself, but it is very good here. Best I've had. Wife is a great fan of Mexican and really enjoys the food here.When you visit here,Ask to sit in Giana's section. You will be glad.

Always a great meal whether dining in, or having take out! Friendly staff! Very accommodating for big families, or groups of 8, or more.

We went for lunch when they had just opened 1st time hereService fast and friendly and was delicious we will be returning soon

Love their cheese dip, they rival three amigos in a lot of their meals. Their long islands could use some work, but the food is really great. Service on the other hand, the guys in there go all the way back to the mamasita's days and are great, most of the women are lack luster in comparison.Overall an enjoyable experience. Choripollo with fajita vegetables is amazing.

Friendly staff & delicious food. Never a disappointment

I'm not sure if this is my favorite Mexican restaurant but this is my 3rd time eating here, and my first time eating at a Mexican restaurant with 0 dislikes about anything i ordered. The food is tasty although there is a small chance that your meal may be put lazily together but it's super affordable and feels authentic. The plus for me which also came as a surprise is the back part of the restaurant which serves as a social area and a bar. The desert are also really good making the meal perfect.

No impressed with service. The food was luke warm and honestly had a terrible flavor. Not what I would consider authentic or good when describing my meal. Go-to 3 Amigos for good authentic Mexican food.

We never got to try the food. After 10 minutes of waiting for a host/hostess to even take our name and tell us long the expected wait would be and having been passed without acknowledgment multiple times we left. It appeared to be popular and likely short staffed but it was very loud as well.

The Oyster Bar is awesome. The oysters are fantastic, cooked perfectly and lightly breaded. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I will be going back!
