-Parking-not a problem.-Waiting for the host-too long. Found my party myself.-Took awhile for server to return to take additional orders as not busy- Took awhile to receive orders as not busy- Once received-great!-Tab was incorrect, but found by server and corrected, in my favor.-Overall, great experience.

At there for the first time today for lunch. Great customer service. Great food. I couldn't finish my plate. You will not leave hungry. Their enchiladas are large, don't expect a wimpy thin enchilada.Their prices are great too. I will be returning and would recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work.

The ADA ramp in the parking lot had a small step you have to traverse to get to the restaurant.My shrimps were not deveined and they were also undercooked. The hot sauce wasn't hot.However, the staff were nothing less than FABULOUS! Ever attentive, anything we asked for appeared within a minute or two.

We liked it enough to come back a second time but after this visit we won’t be returning. There are a lot of restaurants in this area with a similar price point that are exponentially better. This place is usually empty but the service is still awful, the food is not worth the price, good queso and margs but that’s really all

All the employees are amazing. I can’t state that with more truth they were all so helpful and amazing. The food and drinks are tasty as well. However, the owner is god awful and tries to take an active management role and does not understand how a restaurant works. He is rude, disgusting and overall abominable. I find it hard to allow my money to go into his pockets. I do not know his name but shame on him. Awful owner and I truly hope for the sake of this place that it changes soon.

Best Chicken enchiladas on Planet earth. I am not a Chicken fan. Ordered on the suggestion of server. He was CORRECT. I will be back.

Worst enchiladas I’ve ever had! The shrimp taste extremely fishy and gamey. And they looked as if they had been made in a microwave, with a “film” across the top of the cheese and sauce. Seriously, I would trust Taco Bell to make a better tasting AND looking enchilada than this.Not only was the food disgusting, but when presented with the bill, they tried to charge me more $$ than what was advertised on their menu.And all this comes after I waited 10mins to be seated, and they seated a couple that had just walked in before seating me after my wait!And when we confronted the waitress about the terrible presentation of the food, she got an attitude and claimed that we should just order something else.. PLEASE - if you are a Mexican restaurant and can’t make an ENCHILADA right, why on earth would I want to try anything else off your menu?1 star because the chips and salsa were pretty good. Everything else about this establishment was trash. Do better.

Great place for lunch! I really liked the fish tacos, though the menu is slightly confusing -- don't order the 'plate' option if you want rice + beans. Go for the full option. Other than that, it was clean, the service was excellent and everything was reasonably priced.

Spinach and mushroom enchiladas with suiza and side of charro beans. Always delicious. Oh and queso of course

Tacos AlPastor and the Michelada were both good. Kinda pricey for the amount of food on the plate but service was fast and friendly.
