★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Food Lover · Feb 2026

Operationally and culinarily deficient. This restaurant demonstrates a fundamental lack of professional standards. During service, an employee publicly reprimanded a server on the dining room floor, in full view of guests. That is not a lapse it is a systemic management failure. Any operation with basic hospitality discipline understands that internal issues are handled off the floor. The result was an immediately compromised dining environment and degraded service. From a culinary perspective, the menu lacks both authenticity and execution. What is labeled as Mexican cuisine is undistinguished, low-grade Tex-Mex, prepared without nuance or technical care. Seasoning was flat, components were poorly integrated, and dishes showed no evidence of freshness, balance, or regional understanding.

Ricardo provided exceptional polite, friendly and attentive service. Restaurant was nice to dine in, lights a bit bright in main but we were given a table off to the side for our group which wasn’t as bright. Food was well priced for the serving sizes and the taste was amazing. One of the best restaurant meals I have had on my travels. Only feedback would be serving team seemed to be under pressure hopefully back of house or food chain unrealistic expectations aren’t the reason for this as all the staff were friendly and I thought it was unnecessary making them rush around and at times running to get an order out. Not marking down the stars for this as review is for service, dining experience and food. Great food experience to end my trip with.

This place used to be an easy favorite and go-to spot. We used to love it, but I’m not sure what changed over the last few months. Service is great most days, but this is the third time we’ve eaten here in the last 5 months where the servers were just in a group chatting, the plates were dirty, the limes and onions for tacos seemed questionable, and the flan was terrible. I always order flan, and have loved it. The last 3 times I have ordered flan it tasted burnt or like they added alcohol? Maybe I missed a menu change? Either way, we’ll be finding a new go to spot.

Never been here but decided to try it for Father’s Day. I was NOT disappointed! Soo delicious! The staff was helpful and friendly, the other patrons were friendly, and the whole family had a great experience! If you’re in Richlands, give it a go.

Fantastic food. Friendly and fast service. The music is always so loud you can't hold a conversation worth folks at your own table.
