★★★☆☆ 3.0 Korey Ellison · Nov 2025

My family and I have been coming here for a couple of years and usually really enjoy the food, but the gnat issue has gotten hard to ignore. In the summer I brushed it off, but now that it’s cold outside, it’s pretty clear this isn’t a seasonal thing — it’s something going on inside the restaurant. The gnats were literally swarming our table as soon as the food came out. We had to keep fanning our plates and watching our food so they wouldn’t land on it, which was honestly pretty gross and made it tough to enjoy the meal. The owner handled it well and took 50% off our bill, which we appreciated. I just hope they’re able to get the gnat situation under control, because we really do like the place, but it’s hard to eat comfortably when we’re fighting off bugs the whole time. Until they can

I ordered a cheese quesadilla with peppers, onions and mushrooms and had a side of refried beans and a frozen margarita. (Discounted for happy hour!!) Everything was amazing and was cooked to perfection but I've never had a margarita as good as the one I had today 🤩 Everyone was so friendly and kind, I will definitely be coming back again just for the drinks and service. The food was amazing and worth the price, everything had generous portions.

El Barzon burrito! That's all you need to know. Birthday celebration with tequila shot and sombrero and fantastic food. Can't go wrong! Great margaritas too!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kelly Glover · Apr 2024

Really nice atmosphere. Cozy. Very clean. Excellent food and quick service. Would eat here again and recommend to friends. Flooring is a bit slippery when it rains, but they put runners down.

★★★★★ 5.0 zak sauer · Jan 2023

Every dish has been great. The food comes out fast and fresh. The value of lunch deal is unbeatable. They drop the price, but do not skimp on the portion or quality. I keep trying new dishes to go and usually have a second meal left over. The carnitas are great. Try this place out. Picture is lunch fajitas for $10.50.
