★★★☆☆ 3.0 Christy Hart · Mar 2026

We love going here, but not sure what happened for them today. Our girl was apparently new and couldn't understand the order, so my husband's order was wrong, but he ate it anyway. (Same price) My food was delicious except they poured the cheese sauce on my food instead of in a bowl like usual. We finally got our food after 45 minutes and had to get To-Go boxes because we were late to an event. Normally, everything is amazing here, but today was an off day. We will go back though to try again.

★★★★☆ 4.0 AC Baker · Mar 2026

Moderately loud only bc the authentic music. Service was a little slow for refills and the check... the robot brings chips and salsa but otherwise just looks cute. Queso was very good & not too thin. Food was fresh and tasty.

★★★★★ 5.0 McKenzie Kay · Jun 2025

My husband and I came here and had a lovely dinner. The fiesta salad has the best chicken. The fiesta quesadilla was also very good. The waitress was very attentive with refilling are drinks and food server was also very friendly. We will be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Vickie Adams · Feb 2026

The outside was a little questionable but once you step inside you'll feel completely different. Very nice inside, salsa is great, and food was terrific. I ordered a ground beef taco salad & it was delicious. Only little complaint & that was that the house dressing was just a little too sweet for me.

★★★★★ 5.0 Robbin Rosalis · Jan 2026

With the 4.7 star review I thought this place was going to be amazing. It does have a lot going for it. Pros: Plentiful parking Easy to find Easy to Transition from the parking lot to a major highway The set up chips and salsa was quite good The food: The food is on par with every other Mexican restaurant in town. The kitchen staff did take time to make a nice plate presentation with the avocado fanned out the meat on top of the rice was sliced on a diagonal and fanned out. I found the meat to be very salty. The pico de gallo had the jalapeño seeds were left in it, and the pico de gallo was quite fiery. While I do like spice this was a lot. If you think ghost peppers are a tasty appetizer then their pico de gallo is for you. The rice & beans were on the bland side. The carnitas were
