★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 xavier williams · Oct 2025

For $20 they did not give me the shrimp for the Texas Fajita that includes beef, chicken and shrimp. Only seasoning is sazón, very salty and oily. Salad consists of huge chunks of lettuce and a few tomatoes. Rice was okay and beans are a little salty. Some of the chicken was undercooked. See attached picture. 🤮

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lincoln Ulysses Oviedo · Jul 2025

food was good. small amount of beef. in my beef soup. the soup flavor was good. tortillas was fresh. service was ok. atmosphere was ok.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Jessica Olivo · May 2024

Food has no taste at all. The garlic in cream tasted nothing like garlic and cream and plus the rice was soak in this watery cream I couldn’t eat it. When service rice with anything that’s creamy, goes in separate dishes!! Sorry but not good. I wouldn’t recommend this place! Service was better than food. 2 start because the lady to served us was very lovely and professional

I tend to not write negative reviews but this is just uncalled for. I ordered a ‘torta’ last night to go and when I got home this is what I was surprised with. Rotten lettuce, no protein, jalapeños weren’t even diced up, the sandwich wasn’t even cut in half. Horrible, I took two bites and it tasted like a BK sandwich. Not very good quality food if you ask me, needless to say I won’t be coming here again.
