The service is always great there. Friendly staff, very helpful. Place is ALWAYS clean. Smaller staff too so you get the same people most of the time.Food is great. Portions are worth the money. My favorite is the mucho grande burrito with chorizo. Margs are huge and made by hand (on the rocks - frozen is from the machine).We eat there alot.

I had dinner here on a Taco Tuesday. It was busy so some of the service was a little slow. The wait staff was hustling the entire time though. I saw my waiter place food at another table and make sure that table had everything they needed before moving to another table to get an order. The priority was to get the food out the the customer wanted it first and everything else second. My waiter kept moving from table to table or in and out of the kitchen. Never stood around.The food was delicious and was exactly what I ordered.

I've come here a couple times previously and had pretty good experiences. The last time I went was underwhelming. We weren't asked for our drink order until we'd been sitting down for about 20 mins. The wine I ordered was off; asked for a glass of Merlot instead. The serve the red chilled, which throws me off. The food order took a while to give but once it was in the food was out in about 20 mins. My friend enjoyed her meal (fajitas). My "salad" was some sad looking iceberg lettuce with shrimp thrown on top. The shrimp was delicious though!All in all, not terrible, just not impressive. *shrugs*

We arrived and were seated right away. After 10 minutes we got chips and salsa. After waiting another 10 minutes we finally got a waiter to take our drink order. We ordered our food at the same time. In the meantime we watched a couple who came in later than us receive their food. After waiting almost an hour with several attempts to see about our food from our waiter, we had enough and walked out. This was not our first time eating at this establishment. Regardless, it is safe to assume that we will not be dining at this place again anytime soon.

Party of eleven, ten of which were grown men that worked very hard all day long, they were hungry. Anyway I called in advance to make a reservation, was told it is only first come/serve type of restaurant. Two hours later we arrived, said it would be a twenty minute wait. I knew better. We waited patiently however what happened next was something I never thought could be. This young lady who worked there tried to divide our dinner party up. Four to sit at a booth behind our table. Of course this was unacceptable. Simple as this, they need to make reservations for large parties. Our guests could not speak English and I was not about to have this happen. (How rude is that to make choices of who sits at the little table, my goodness) Forty minutes later we were seated and an hour later we were served dinner. Yes, almost two hours in this restaurant. Food was good, we tipped our waiter very well but please take note that large parties such as eleven, they cannot accommodate.

Good Food; Good ServiceThis was our first visit to the relatively new restaurant. The décor was colorful, and everything was clean. Their menu is extensive, at least eight pages for lunch and dinner items. We finally settled on the La Superior Burritos ($12.99) and the Choose Three Combo ($14.99). The La Superior was two ground beef burritos, covered in red sauce and melted cheese, with sides of re-fried beans and rice. The burritos were filled with seasoned ground beef and were very tasty. The picks for the Choose Three were a Taco, Shredded Beef Burrito and Enchilada with sides of re-fried beans and rice. All were very good and sized so that there were leftovers. There was a bit of a mix up but Ariel started, he kept the salsa and chips filled.

Delicious. I loved John's Special and the atmosphere. Service was great, they were cleaning on overdrive but it didn't smell like bleach. Can't wait to go back.

A nice Mexican restaurant with a large menu that includes some traditional dishes. The dining area seems new and the service was fast and friendly.The food tasted good and was pretty spicy, some dishes might be too spicy if that's not your thing. It was pretty busy when I went but they have a large parking lot and there wasn't a wait to be seated.

Great food and service. My family has been here many times and have never had a bad experience. The shredded beef chimchangas, carnitas, and of course tacos are all delicious. Great margs as well, and a nice tequila selection. Service has always been fast, helpful, and friendly. Highly recommend.

We've been here several times for dinner and it was always good. This last experience was not that good. We had a pitcher of margaritas that was watered down. My roasted chicken breast was dried out and the caso sauce was so spicy hot we couldn't eat it. I told our server, all they could do was apologize.
