Customer Reviews
The parking is very accessible. Finding a table was easy. The menu was easy to read and the seating was comfortable. Spent about $18 for 3 carne Asada tacos a drink and chips before tip. We'll seasoned meat and lots of salsa. The drink came with lots of ice and was very refreshing. Over all a great experience, didn't have to wait long for a check.
After hearing about the food from a customer of mine, I decided to give it a try. You can only have so much McDonald's or Burger King before you need a break. I looked at their lunch menu, entree's for 10.50 each. The taco salad sounded good. While it wasn't fancy looking the dish had well seasoned ground beef and some Chihuahua cheese then topped with lettuce and sour cream. It really could have had a few slices of fresh jalapeno on top and a bit of salsa to make it even better. But you can always ask. Most of the time you are going to get some nasty, been in the jar a couple years pickled jalapenos. The taco salad was better than most. If you get the meat fresh before it sits it a steam bath it tastes better and the texture is better if its been freshly cooked on the flat top. Update 1-9
Love this place! Our favorite place to eat in Junction City! The good service starts when we walk in the door, and doesn't quit till we walk out. The food is beautiful and delicious! We always get 2 meals out of it. We love it for breakfast with a fried egg on top! We usually get the fajitas and the El Pollo. El Pollo is a great way to get kids to eat their veggies! The margaritas are so good, and they have limited time flavors sometimes, so get one while you can! Reasonably priced. We go in and share a plate of nachos, with iced tea and the complimentary chips and salsa, it's about $20. They're always fairly to very busy, but we never wait very long for anything. Everyone seems to be really enjoying themselves! The only downsides are the parking is tricky, and you're not supposed to put
Ordered from the restaurant site on 08 Mar (Sunday): Put in order at 7:00 PM, said pickup at 7:40. Arrived at 7:40, foods not ready, sure no problem. Come back a few times to check on status until about 8:10. At this time another gentleman was very upset at his wait time and left. At this point I’m invested. Ask a few times and finally get my food at 8:40. This is ONE HOUR after the pickup time and 1 hour and 40 minutes AFTER I put in my order. Yeah that’s unacceptable, no matter how good the food is (and it was good, but it was sloppily made and cold by the time I got it). Unfortunately I probably won’t be ordering from here again.
I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but I feel this needs to be shared. My partner and I visited this restaurant for Dinner recently (12/10/2025), and unfortunately we both ended up with food poisoning hours after our meal. The symptoms started from middle of the night and lasted well into the next day, which was very concerning. Not sure if any other patrons had similar issue from that night. The staff was friendly and the service itself was fine, but the food quality and safety were clearly an issue during our visit. I hope management takes this seriously and reviews their food handling practices so other customers don’t go through the same experience we did.
