Roaches crawled across the food at a company event. Instead of being apologetic, the new management laughed and said we have a bug man comes. The company was still charged the full price. 0/10 would not recommend.

We didn't realize we'd come in right before the kitchen closed, but they were really kind to us and served us anyway. The atmosphere was warm and felt like home. The food was delicious. Loved it here!

The food Was great, large portions for lunch. The décor could use some updating and many of the seats need new upholstery. Staff was prompt and friendly. Would definitely go back

My first time here, met up with a friend.I had the Labamba rice with grilled chicken……OMG, it was sooo good! It was hot, fresh & loaded with flavor. I’ll be back!

My first visit here and OMG the food was off the chain. Best quesidella I have ever had. Rice and beans was very flavorful. The complimentary salsa with chips was delicious. Very friendly staff.Only negative I have is the facility is very run down and looks dirty. The dust covered vents and ceiling fans and water damage ceiling tiles was a turn off. I will be back for the food, but probably will take out next time.

The food was great. The customer service was subpar. The waitress never came back to refill any drinks. We had dirty looks on the way out and we still left her a $20 tip she didn’t deserve. Definitely won’t be back!

This place was definitely NOT what I thought it would be. The food was less than adequate, service was less than adequate, the cleanliness was a little scary. Mold on the ceiling, something was crawling around in the space between the drop ceiling too. Won't be going back!

We have passed many times and they are always busy so we decided to give it a try. This is by far the best Mexican in the area with mesquite grilled fajitas that are very flavorful. Everything we had was great and we will definitely be back. As mentioned by another review, it is not the cleanest place but we were not like them and felt the need to eat outside.

This place has gone downhill exponentially since the old days of Pepitos. 15 min to get an additional order of cheese dip to our table. We are done with our meal and still don’t have additional order of chips requested 15 mins ago. I guess Covid got their dishwasher as they supply the cheapest flaccid plastic wear to use for in person dining. I’ve waived off several flies from my food. Very very disappointed.

Worst customer service ever. we had to find a waiter to come take our order. He never did check back to see if we needed a refill or anything else. We requested a to go cup and he brought a empty cup about 10 minutes later. We had to ask twice for napkins. when checking out, the cashier asked if everything was OK. I told her no. She did not even ask what was wrong or how they could improve. I then asked her did she want to know what was wrong and she said no there’s nothing she could do because she’s just an employee. There was no manager on duty to talk to. There are too many Mexican restaurants in town to choose from that has better service than this.

At there last week and have to say the food was flavorful but between the black mold on the ceiling (from a leaking roof) and the raw sewage smell... do not think we will be back. We actually moved outside in the July heat just to eat.
