It was my first time coming here and the food was very good. The wife and I both had the baria tacos with Mexican rice and street corn. We also got the Diablo cheese dip and it was the best thing we had.

They brought rotten meat to the table and added plenty of spices to prevent anyone from noticing it was spoiled. When I told the owner that the meat was spoiled, he rudely rebuffed me. That man is very barbaric and disrespectful. Take care of your health and don't go to this restaurant that sells spoiled meat. And I paid that guy the damn money, I paid for food I didn't eat.

First visit: A little disappointing. Our server was disengaged, like he'd like to be anywhere else. He did his job though. I had the Pollo loco lunch special. The menu said "smothered in queso." I saw no trace of queso. The chicken and rice was bland.

Manager tried to deny entry because I had a service animal that alerts me when my heart rate gets too high!!! Sad! Finally he said whatever and slung our menus on the table. Never been so embarrassed in a restaurant!!

Menu said taco came with a crispy fried shell. Nope, store bought molded shell. Meat in the taco very bland. Chili relleno very small and filled with beans, what?? They are suppose to be filled with cheese. Tamale was over cooked. Overall, these items were not good. Enjoyed the beer.
