There is one waiter that is tall, and she’s super nice!!! But the shorter one has an attitude.The food is good, but not delicious.

The food and service here are never below standard. My family has come here for years and still enjoy the environment and service.

BEWARE - the prices on the menu are 1/3 of the price they have listed it at. It’s quite misleading as they didn’t warn us the price has changed and that isn’t the price.The restaurant is also rundown and is not a fancy place by any means. However the burrito is good, the fajita is bland.

A very warm environment, with a gently lit bar, and you know when the chips and salsa are fire, everything else will be also.

Amazing. Owner treats you like family, she's so nice ? for some time the waitresses would mess up a lot so we didnt go as often, but it seems like improvement to me. The food is DELICIOUS ?Parking: They have plenty of parking but if their lot is full there's parking on the street, I've never parked far so that's a plus!Kid-friendliness: I take my kid and she loves the mural ?Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair friendly ?

Horrible service. No attention at all. The event was most important than the 2 tables waiting to be serve. Not good quality and not good taste. Only the ice tea and chips were ok while waiting for 40 minutes. ??????????????????????????????????????????if theirs no time to serve I could just imagine the cleaning and sanitation

This spot has potential but needs work. First off, I was given a dirty cup. So that kind of killed the vibe. Plus, there is old furniture visible in the seating areas. Seating areas and tables seem a bit dirty. But I will say, the chilaquiles were alright, and our server was nice and respectable. Won't be coming here again.

Was there for an outdoor event and went in for a Michelada. Place looked nice and clean, and the waitress/cashier girl was nice. I enjoyed my michelada.

I had to update my review. Although I love their Chili Verde Wet Burrito, and their house ice tea, I'm tired of their inconsistency of operating hours. This establishment is always closing early when they say they're open. On Google it says open till 9pm and on Yelp it says 830pm. Today I came in 10 mins to 7pm. Walked up and was told they're already closed. Other times I have gone, around 6pm or 730ish, still always closed or about to be closed or not open at all that day when they say they're open. I'm very disappointed.

Ok, I'm going to start off this review by talking about the "Gian Pink Elephant" that no one seems to be mentioning... "The hidden Prices!" Their paper menu and their digital menu both have different pieces and when you get your bill (BOOM!) You get charged close to double what either one of those menus say.I've been coming to this restaurant for over a decade and I know people who have been coming for way longer. I'm a person who doesn't mind paying extra $ for great quality service and food. But After the pandemic this place has gradually decline in service, quality and portions.... unlike their prices, which keep going up. $$$Very disappointing to see what was once such a great place go down in such mannerPs. I highly recommend the Micheladas, which I'll continue coming back for. ?

I get that some of these restaurants are really busy and its not easy to wait on customers because everyone is different. That being said when it's only my wife and me and 2 different customers at 3 different tables how is it possible that with one lady greeting/cashier on the phone ordering some dress for a wedding/ party during her work hours and not worrying about your paying customers basically ignore you for the first 15 minutes your there and them comes and asked are you ready to order all this while she's on her personal phone making arrangements for something personal she needs done by that Saturday. If you need to deal with something personal take your 30 minute break or if need be call off if its that important you need it by that Saturday. You definitely lost a client and will not be returning to this establishment at all! Hope the owner read this!
