Delicious food and wonderful service

Always have good meal at this location. Frozen Strawberry Margarita gives best brain freeze of life LOL. Thick yellow corn chips served with best puréed salsa that has right amount of spice & over abundance of cilantro. Guacamole dip taste creamy & fresh with finish of salt. Empanadas appetizer delivers 2 large chicken or beef, crispy not greasy, fried dough pockets with tastiest trio of dipping sauces. Ordered Burrito de La Roqueta which is 2 burritos (that have shrunk over time but are still filled) with shredded pork or chicken, bathed in cheese & Mole sauces, decorated with pico de gallo. The meld of flavors is very satisfying. Tacos de carnitas is husbands favorite. Refried beans are creamy not chalky. Calm, spacious, atmosphere. Reasonable prices (especially with coupon) & friendly staff.

Horrible horrible service at this location! After 30 mins and 2 tables who were seated after me got their food before me is when I was told that my order hadn’t even been put in yet. Server blamed it on the new system. But the new system worked for the other tables orders?? Ended up getting my food to go after another 25 min wait. My original server didn’t even show his face again after telling me about the “system error”. Food was horrible by the time I got home to eat it. I will never go back to this place and will not recommend this place to anyone.

This place is not authentic Mexican fare. Salsa from Newmans own. Two separate “Pineapple based drinks” came out as virgin pina coladas.. special cask patron Anejo shot came as patron silver… short staffed and understandably why. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

The food is good but a bit pricey.

Pretty disappointed. I've been getting their empanadas for a while now. I just picked up my order and the empanadas are half the usual size but I paid the same price. If this is their new size and keeping the price I won't be buying from here again. At least WARN people you changed the size. Came home excited for lunch and now I'm deeply disappointed.

The food was excellent! The prices are average. Wait time was not too bad considering the staff shortage.

Got a steak fajita definitely don’t recommend it was like crumbs of steak over piled with onions and peppers the sides or nothing great to go with it better to go to Chili’s

Great options, decent for semi authentic Mexican food. Worth stopping in!

We Great. We loved the Camaron Diabla and the Mango Margarita. The staff was great and even stated at the door they were understaffed they were attentive and very informative.
