I love this place . The food is great. Every time I go I try to have something different to eat and each time I’ve been very satisfied but my favorite to order is the Jalapeño Lime Chicken plate ( juicy tender chicken with red potatoes and grilled corn on the cob) “Delicious “. The service is great. Everyone that works there is very friendly. Also my kids love eating here.

Food is pretty good. Waitress was nice. I don't recommend their house Margarita. It was watered down and I could've easily made one myself that tasted better. Maybe we got them on a bad night.

This is my newly found best Mexican restaurant. The food is amazing. My favorite is the seafood burrito. You can't go wrong with that. I have also had the Chile Relleno and Taco combo plate. That is really good as well. We have had issues with service at this restaurant. I really believe there needs to be a change of management. We went there on Cinco De Mayo for a late lunch. I ordered the Fajitas. Come to find out, after they brought my food, that they were having issues making the tortillas. Yes, on Cinco De Mayo, they had no tortillas. People everywhere were siting there waiting for the tortillas. After waiting 30 minutes, they brought tortillas and my fajitas were cold. They did offer to give me a new plate of fajitas which I accepted and it was good. I asked to speak to the manager and the server said he won't speak to anyone and asks the servers to resolve any issues. Meanwhile, the manager was running around with sales people instead of resolving the tortilla issue and apologizing to the customers which he could have cared less about. That being said, this place needs a new general manager as this one is useless. This restaurant could be so much more with the right leadership. I own several successful businesses. I know. One more thing, I was sitting there eating one afternoon, the manager walked in with a new server. He walked by us going, "this is section 1, that is section 2 and then section 3." All the while, the new employee was trying to ask him questions and also kept saying, "I can't hear you." Again, this general manager could have cared less if she could hear or not. He just muttered on then walked away from her. So sad!

Fair warning. We’ve eaten the food here for a few months now, decent food, friendly atmosphere, the usual. However after having had food delivered tonight, we found quite the “surprising” ingredient in one of the meals we had requested. See for yourselves; a chunk of gravel, or worse a piece of someone’s tooth maybe? Not sure how it came to be but fairly certain it should not have ended up in the food. Dine at your own risk, clearly better supervision / QC is needed.

Love the jalapeño margarita and the award winning margarita is supreme. Food is good atmosphere is good depending on which night you go. They have different events some I care for others not so much. Locals place.

They don’t except the access card on entrées, even though they are listed as a buy one get one free. They will give you a combo only. Makes a really bad first impression.

First time dining here since the pandemic. We both had 'platters' which were large portions. The homemade taquitos are huge, larger than expected and came with rice, beans and guac. Chili rellanos are made with fresh poblano or pasillo chili. Cadillac margarita was well made if pricey at $13.25. We are looking to returning for Sunday Brunch.

I had the biggest vegetarian burrito on earth here, and it also happened to be vegan. I came in for lunch but walked out with half of the burrito for dinner, that's how big it was. Exquisite chips and guac, too.

Poor service and even worse food! Do not eat the fish!!! Worst fish taco I ever ate… still worried that I’m going to fall terribly sick. I will never return. Went straight to target and bought mouthwash, listerine was not even strong enough to get the rotten taste out of my mouth.

Food was delicious. I’m sad I don’t live here to ever be able to eat the chipotle chicken enchiladas again. ☹️ Server was friendly. Definitely recommend coming here if visiting from out of town.

Very cosy place with large portions, fantastic freshly cooked tortilla chips, kind servers, and great food. I got a steak taco and although it was just one, I was very full afterwards. Great place for families.
