★★★★★ 5.0 Adrian Mosqueda · Mar 2025

A diamond in the rough, great food, service, and atmosphere. Uncomfortable bench seats but made up for with the friendly knowledgeable and speedy service. Food was fantastic. I asked for a spicy salsa and loved it, great guacamole, and flavorful sizzing shrimp fajitas. Highly reccomended.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 D Manning · Jul 2021

The first time I went the waiter was horrible, he didn’t check on us and screamed from the front door was we good. The employees was preoccupied with conversation and interacting with regulars like everything else wasn’t there. The food was okay. Rate 1/5 stars Update 01/2022: I recently went again. The food and customer service was okay Rate 3/5

★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Heaton · Mar 2022

We love this place. Great Tex-Mex flavors. Big extensive menu. Good drinks. Good service, everyone has always been very friendly with us. This place gets busy busy during peak dining hours. Good beans and rice builds a great base to everything else they make. California Burrito, Carnitas, Crispy Taco, Enchiladas, and Fajitas are all things we have tried. They serve a unique white dip along with chips and salsa, we love that too.

Bit boring but the food inside is definitely worth the visit... A must try restaurant for. Mexican food lovers!!
