Customer Reviews
Really terrific place and easy to get to. Large parking lot. Our friends took us there saying it was worth it. They were right! Food was great, restaurant looks very nice and the staff was friendly and ready to help. Our order came fairly quick. Table was comfortable and the chips and salsa were very tasty. Restrooms were clean. They were very careful with the food for my wife because she has a serious shellfish allergy. She had fish tacos and I had the poblano with beef. Yummy!
Great food, great atmosphere inside, friendly staff. Would visit again, and if we lived closer we would be regulars. Chimichanga dinner pictured. Edit: Forgot to mention, they have changing stations in the men's bathroom, which is a great thing and not many restaurants have. Thank you!
Maybe I am a food snob but I was surprised how many good reviews this place got. The servers were nice enough but the food was not good except for the salsa and chips. We ordered a variety of tacos. I had the fish and it was fishy and had lots of filler like guacamole. My friend had the chicken and that's about all that was in it. The tables idea guacamole was just ok..way too much garlic and onions. The atmosphere is conducive to a family with kids which is what the restaurant at 6:30 on a Saturday was filled with. Super bright room that feels like you were at a very commercial Mexican restaurant. Totally bummed .was looking for good flavors.
Arrived 4:30 pm with 2 others (one of em never been here) on a Wednesday Just before the crowd started coming. We were prompted to pick a table of our choosing. Waiter came immediately with chips/salsa, menu's, and silverware. Drinks came fast. Food was just amazing. Hot, fresh and delicious!!! I highly recommend the Fajita Trio and the Burrito. I had a house margarita so it was nothing to rave about. Bathrooms were clean. Service 10 Atmosphere 10 Food 10 See you all soon!!❤️
The tacos were very good — packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The margaritas were also delicious and refreshing, with a nice balance. Portion sizes were decent, and overall, everything felt fresh and satisfying. Definitely planning to return!
