    This place is 5 minutes away from my house but I have never been here til today bc of the review and the low rating. Today, however, my husband was in the mood for Mexican food and I was too tired to go anywhere further. So we said let's just try it.

    I can say we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The interior was very fun but not overdone. The service was friendly and prompt. Then of course the food, the food was delicious.

    My husband got the burrito fresco with chicken. It was gigantic, but it was so good he ate 90% of it. He said the chicken had great seasoning. I had one bite because he didn't want to share.

    I got the carne asada. The meat was tender and cooked just right. It came with all the regular fixings, rice, beans, pica de gallo and tortilla. It was a lot of food as well but I was hungry so I ate everything.

    I also got a medium margarita. And it was good sized and wasn't watered down. It made me happy. It was very tasty.

    As far as the price goes, for two of us, two entrees and a soda and the margarita it was only 36 dollars. I can't complain! We have been to plenty places that costed way more and less satisfying.

    So needless to say I think we will definitely come back and we are happy to know we have a Mexican food place we can now go often!

    I had not been here in a very long time. It was pretty good, however you need to figure out how to get the most for your $. Of all the dishes that we ordered, I have to say the cheese steak was the most bag for the $ & very tasty!! It was very late evening & it was not busy so service was great. I did dislike that they overload the glass with ice & it's not a very big glass to begin with. We did all enjoy our meals very much.

    Haven't eaten here in a couple years.  Food was okay but not spectacular.  My #4 (taco, enchilada, tostada) was very plain.  Prices and drinks were okay but don't expect a fiesta!

    The service was terrible. My husband had to physically go find someone to get refills and tortillas for my daughters fajitas. It wasn't overly busy but our server was sitting in the front window just hanging out while he had tables. From the time we ordered food we didn't see him again after. The food was okay nothing special but the service was bad!

    Words cannot describe how bad the food was here and we barely got beyond the chips and salsa!   Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and I'm OK with just mediocre Mexican food for a quick snack. So my friend and I stopped by this restaurant to kill some time before her class. We ordered the cheese dip and guacamole and one small beef taco .  It's hard to say between the 3 of these items which one was the worse. The cheese dip was too watery to dip and absolutely had no flavor. The guacamole had the strangest flavor but mostly just salty. And the taco was just bland. How do you get these things wrong in a Mexican restaurant? Even the free chips they put on your table weren't very good. I would be hard pressed to say that I will ever return to this restaurant. I will say however they willingly took those items off of our bill we only paid for the tasteless taco.
