Customer Reviews

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Tiffany Sánchez · Oct 2025

The food was bland, and it was extremely greasy. The salsa verde was good, the red one tasted like it was old very disgusting. I was honestly disappointed in the quality of the food definitely not as advertised. The waiter was very polite and friendly.

Great Mexican food - salsa and chips🥑 rice and beans was excellent and enchiladas and burrito🥑🥑🥑 the only thing really was did not get much ice in my water 💦

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Terrence Kurylo · Oct 2025

The food was inedible. The queso was completely botched and overheated to the point it curdled and they still sent it. It's impossible not to realize this just looking at it, the whey sloshes like water. See picture. The enchiladas were the wrong type, and the meat, pork I think, was full of giant chunks of bone. The rice and beans were edible, not good, but edible. The rest of my $30 order literally got tossed out for the animals to eat. If the food were just gross I wouldn't bother posting a review, but sending out that quest knowing it was ruined and inedible is just flat out unacceptable, a ripoff.

★★★★★ 5.0 Prit Virk · Nov 2024

The tacos were undoubtedly the best in town, complemented by excellent food and outstanding service, making for a truly memorable dining experience. Will Definitely come again. Recommended.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Alexis Nycole · Mar 2025

This was not good. The quesadilla was soggy & the chicken (was supposed to be steak) was dry/minced weirdly. Peppers were hard, cheese barely melted. The rice & beans were watery & without flavor. It grossed me out badly.
