★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Neyco McFerrin · Oct 2025

Literally nothing we ordered other than a margaritas had any flavor. We ordered the summer special and tacos al cabone. The fajita meat was spongy, the red sauce was basically tomato sauce. The green salsa (avocado)tasted like plain yogurt dyed green. The taco meat was completely devoid of any taste and had a weird texture like mushy. I have never experienced every single item of food that literally never had a taste. Not even the refried and charro beans. If you arent even using salt or pepper much less any seasoning why even send it out. This place needs to close and start over completely. Don't waste your time or money for this trash! Edited to say we told all of this to the cashier and was not offered to speak to the manager or owner and not offered to take anything off the $45 bill. S

Our go-to spot for quick, accurate, service and guaranteed fresh food! I requested mixed veggies with my shrimp diabla and the cooks always do it up right!!

We've eaten here at lunch time many times. The dining area is always clean. We are greeted and service is very good. Our food has always been served hot. The taste and quality is very good.

We ordered four plates. One kids meal (we asked for a soft taco instead of a hard taco and ended up getting charged double - $4.99+$4.99 for one small flour tortilla and rice and beans). We were not told that asking for a soft tortilla would increase the price 50%. When we asked about it they said we were paying for the taco at $4.99 and the plate at another $4.99. We paid as much for our kids plate as we did for our adult size plates. Super disappointing experience.

I wouldn't even give a star if I didn't have to to comment. I went with my wife for a quick bite to eat on lunch break. Our waitress was so busy talking to everyone else she thought we already had our food. This was at least 30 minutes after ordering. So much for a quick bite. After tasting their "salsa" I was already regretting the fact I was about to waste 40 bucks on food I wouldn't give to my dogs! Thanks for not serving me Mante! Oh but they were so sorry they were feeding people who weren't even n front of them "to go orders" when actually they were all arguing about drinks being served on the patio feed that crap to someone else! Stop lying to ur customers we have ears to hear what happened!!!!
