Came on Father's Day and i called ahead regarding if they do corkage fee and they said they did. When we got sat the server only gave us 3 wine glasses, leaving us to open the bottle ourselves. Usually when a restaurant charges a corkage fee they open the bottle for you, and pour. The server charged us for the corkage and got upset when we asked for it to be removed off the bill. He said it wasn't “allowed” to bring your own wine... Overall an unpleasant experience

Father's Day brunch was crowded as expected, but we had reservations and were seated in a timely manner. All staff was very friendly. Food was sub par from years past. Rice, beans and pozole were the only stand outs. We come back, but maybe not for celebrations, food just wasn't good enough for special occasion.

Took some time to sit and serve drinks and food, chips were old not fresh. I usually love the chips here but this time we're not the best. We order some mojitos and black diamond margaritas but not happy cause they're more sweet than anything, very lil alcohol on it. Taste was more like ice tea and water. Not happy about paying surcharges fees neither. Paying taxes I think is more than enough already.

I've got to say thank you so much to the entire staff. From our reservation time, to being accommodating because I walk with a cane. Every one was so welcoming. For this being my first birthday since our fathers recent passing, Rueben & staff made it an unbelievable content experience for my sibling & myself. It made us miss our pop since the last time we were there was with him. Thank you for letting us honor him & celebrate my birthday.

Mexican chain restaurant located next to the outlets. Plenty of parking. Food was a bit bland for me. Cocktails were average at best. Service was friendly and efficient.

Food was bland and instead of beans we got double servings of rice with every plate. Server was nice but overwhelmed and we had to flag him down to leave and pay. Never refilled drinks or asked if we need another drink.

Food was awesome! I love the tortilla here. The flour ones are the best! They also have the all you can eat which I'll be getting next time! I recommend this place for dates, families, or events.

2 meals were forgotten at our table. They finely came after I had to tell the manager by then the rest of us were done eating then they said they would comp them and they did not. We had to ask for drink refills. Not the best service for our large party. Sorry we had it there

This wouldn't be my first choice, but it was the most convenient and the better of the options at the Orange Outlets. There were complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa had a nice spicy kick to it. My friends and I shared the Grande Fiesta Platter, which was a decent variety of appetizers. The Mexico City Flautas were my favorite. As an entree, I ordered the Grilled Chicken Mexican Caesar Salad. It was pretty simple and average. The chicken was cooked nicely and the cilantro-pepita dressing was good.

I love coming here, I always get the same thing - simple, but so good. Chicken Cesar salad, Diet Coke and plenty chips and salsa. Put the salsa on the salad. So yum. My favorite server is Ernesto. Even if I don't come for months he always greets me warmly, remembers my order and is super attentive to make sure my chips salsa and drink are topped off. What more do you need? It's like my own cheers thanks for consistently great service, Ernesto, it makes a difference!

The lunch buffet Monday - Friday is a must try. They have a small but really good selection of foods, from soup to fresh made tortillas at the ready for you to try. The albondigas soup has a really homemade taste to it!

Came on New Year's Day for their Sunday brunch. I will get to the food in a minute. Let me start with the SERVICE! ERNESTO our server was absolutely amazing!! We will only sit with him from now on. We come about 2-3 times a year for our Disney trips. Sunday brunch is a must!! The food is great! Lots of options! The green pozole is bomb! The street tacos are great with hand made tortillas! OH AND BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS! our glasses were never empty! Salud!

I've been coming to this place for around 2 years and hands down they have the best brunch. I really love their brunch they have a lot of variety and I don't think it's very expensive. Love this place

We've eaten here many times, over many years, including on 10 Christmases. This year, we decided to take our food out. The service was very nice and competent, however, the food was mostly awful. We ordered some shrimp fajitas, chicken fajitas, and an assortment of tacos. The shrimp and chicken had not been marinated, and the shrimp had no sear at all, appeared to be just steamed. The veggies on all platters were tasteless, and the beef taco meat was just odd. Also on the fajitas plates, everything had been thrown together...there was mushy, sweet cornbread mixed with the guacamole, which was bad. Nothing was cooked to the standards we've always experienced here before. So we ended up throwing out most of our food. 1 star for the food.

This review is more for the service we received. Our Server Ernesto was on it!. We never once had to ask for a refill of our drinks because before they were even empty he had brought us another one! That's big in my book. Ernesto was polite and helpful, even though he had quite a few tables he was juggling. We will be back just for Ernesto! The food was good but the chips and salsa were on point!
