Placed an online order and waited past the time it was supposed to get picked up, walked in and was told that their online services were not working so instead of any cooperation i was told to call (they wouldn’t let me cancel in person for whatever reason), i called and cancelled but never received a cancel confirmation or a refund for the order

I was told about the buffet option by a family member so we wanted to try it out. We came in around 2pm and it was supposed to be til 4pm. We were sat immediately served complimentary chips. We went up to the buffet and majority of the items were either empty or dried up. There were still some food items that were decent enough to make it worth it like the steamed shrimp and chicken & steak fajita. Had to ask for items to be refilled like taco shells, sour cream and guacamole. There were two soup items, one was some seafood looking thing that didn't look too appetizing and the other one was empty and dried up. The shrimp ran out and we had to ask for some more which took some time to get brought out and it wasn't the same as what was originally out on the buffet line. They also ran out of plates, but at that point we were just tired of asking for stuff to be replenished that we just called it quits. Service was so-so, they didn't really clear tables that often. The few selections of food we tried were ok, but we probably wouldnt return again.

Ceiling tiles and filters or the Ceiling were hanging and were FILTHY! The food was good but questioned the cleanliness of the facility! There was an abandoned car in the parking lot as well with what looked to be remnants of homeless people all around the dumpster outside! I think I'd rather go somewhere else next time!

I used to love this place! I've called for takeout orders for me and others twice this week and both times I had to call back at least once because I was hung up on initially and both times the orders were royally screwed up. I had entire meals missing, items missing, the people some of which are nice and some of which are rude. They have too much competition in Dover for me go back anymore. I hope this review encourages them to do better. I used to be a fan!

The food was good, but not great. The tamale was too soft, and the rice was bland. The chicken enchiladas were good, but the beef enchilada was made with ground beef, so it was a bit odd. The atmosphere felt very authentic, but mixed with slow service and too much quiet, the food did not impress. The lunch specials were priced well, but for a dollar or two more, I would have made a different choice for lunch.

I’ve only ever gotten the Chicken Taco when I go & it’s DELISH!!! I always find it extremely cold, which may not be a bad thing if you’re a hot person, it’s just not something I like. I also find the window area is not the cleanest. They’re not shy with the alcohol & I personally only need 1 maybe 1.5 drinks. The food & drinks is why I’m rating it a 4.

A Dover area gem if your looking for good authentic tasting Mexican food! The fajitas, spicy tomatillo salsa, and the weekend buffet make this a great choice for lunch or dinner. If your grabbing a beer, get an ice cold Dos Equis Amber on tap. Service via phone is not always available when they are busy, but the service in person is generally good and they will accommodate any needs for menu item changes. There is plenty of parking on location as well!
