The fried chimichanga was solid. It wasn't greasy. I say that because in this area, people think of a little bit higher scale. The place deserves all 5 stars. Cheap drinks, good tasting for and very nice staff. Only reason it didn't get all 5 was low content of meat to burrito. It was pretty low. Ten dollar burrito is hard to beat. If nearly rather drink at a place that serves youa did drink and ample food though that does 20 dollars on something fantastic around here, but not worth it when experience is just as awesome... Unless you like it quiet. Still was intimate here, outdoor heating. Just depends on what you want to spend your time and money one here. I'd start somewhere for a lite dinner and end here for better liquid drinks. That's just me though.

Food here is so-so. Service was not so great. Came on a busy day (Cinco de Mayo) so I understand but it's a matter of waiters passing by the table without so much as looking at you, or spending 10 mins at the table before we have to ask for menusFood was good enough, but not enough to raise me from a 3 star to a 4 star. Had a good time here, maybe will come back and reevaluate when it's less busy.

Really fun spot. Owner is awesome. Tasty drinks, specially house infused spicy marg. Delicious food. Great service.

This place is the best! Their food is great and it has this wonderful homey/family business vibe that keeps me coming back. The happy hour specials make having a drink or 3 on a budget very affordable and even when it's not happy hour their menu won't break your bank. Since they annexed the building suite next door (former Starbucks) and opened the tequila cantina its only gotten better with additional seating at tables and the bar itself inviting you to come have a drink. I think I even saw they added a cover over their outdoor seating last time I was there. Great place to eat, I highly recommend it.

The food tasted like it was a couple days old and was put in the microwave. The salsa that they bring out with the chips was like a marinara sauce. For my main entrée, I got the enchiladas; it was dried out and bland. I thought that we'd at least enjoy the alcohol since they claim they are a tequila bar. However, the Cadillac margarita was all sugary mix. When we asked if we could have another margarita that wasn't all mix, they said all of the margaritas came from a pre-made bottle and their idea of a "top shelf" tequila was El Jimador. Super disappointed by our experience. At least the staff were friendly and did not charge us. I grew up in a Latin family, cooking and eating amazing Mexican food. If you are looking for quality authentic Mexican food, this is not the place.

UNEXPECTED!I was hungry, so I went in.The food was "unforgettably amazing"! I have to admit, I thought it was going to be like all the rest. I am a Mexican American whom just found food as if we're cooked at my home by my mother. I will always come here to eat. The service was excellent.The you for the experience!Derreck.

Huge menu, great portions, and tasty Mexican food. Family owned, and at least a few of the family members are there daily.Alex the bartender is the part of the family. He makes really good drinks and is VERY knowledgeable about Tequila.Really fun bar / restaurant

Came over from Germany, first time in the US and this was exactly what I imagined Mexican food to be. They have great and delicious dishes and drinks and wonderful and caring personnel. Would definitely recommend.

Very large serving size! Great place to go if you’re super hungry.5 star for the nice staff. The food was alright, 3-4 stars.

Sickly sweet margaritas and more beans, rice, and iceberg lettuce than you can shake a stick at. If huge plates of bland, generally low quality traditional Americanized Mexican food is what you're after, don't bother driving out to that joint next to the old blockbuster in the deep-burbs, this place is for you.
