Customer Reviews
(1/5) This was one of the worst food and customer service experiences I've ever had. We ordered three chilaquiles, and every single order was wrong. * The first order was missing the egg. When we called, the so-called manager said | "didn't pay for the egg" -- but the app shows that price as the item. If the egg is extra, then the app should clearly say that. How am I supposed to know I need to pay more if it's not showing? If I needed to pay for it, I would've paid for it, but the app did not indicate that at all. That is their mistake, not mine. On top of that, the order had way too much onion and almost no sauce. Chilaquiles without sauce are NOT chilaquiles. * The second order was the same -- dry, barely any sauce, and literally 2-3 tiny pieces of chicken (you can clearly see it in the
Clean restaurant with really great customer service — the staff was friendly and attentive. However, the food itself was not authentic Mexican and was pretty disappointing. There were no complimentary chips and salsa when we sat down, which already felt unusual. The fajitas were solid, but overall the dishes lacked flavor. The guac situation was the biggest letdown: you have to pay $18 for the ‘fresh’ guacamole, otherwise they serve the pre-packaged Wholly Guacamole. The queso also tasted more like a powdered mix than real queso. The nachos had stadium Jalepenos, its like food you get at the bar or football game It’s just not authentic Mexican food at all, and unfortunately it left my stomach hurting afterward. Amazing service, but the food really didn’t match.
Food was decent but seemed different from previous visits. Service was ok but you were sort of just there. The atmosphere is fine and no real complaints. For parking, there’s free street parking in the evening so nothing to stop you from going. This last trip we tried different things and saw the dip in food. I would have my order again but wouldn’t go out of my way for it. Just didn’t impress. We started off our meal with nachos, that I thought were the highlight. They were better than most nachos, and then things went downhill from there. My wife ordered a Mexican mole plate with oaxaca mole but got red mole, which was too spicy for her and so my son switched with her. She found her experience disappointing. My son had the surf and turf burrito (huge), which was fine, while I ordered the
Their tamales are the best I have ever had in a restaurant! They make all their own sauces and they are awesome! The steak burrito was also great. The service is friendly and quick and the atmosphere is great. I will be back.
Mexican family-owned place w lots of Mexican dishes and good drinks. Staff is friendly and efficient. Big plates so I usually take home half of it.
