Cool restaurant and great location. I got a loaded burrito. Unfortunately it was bland, overpriced and lacked any kind of authenticity or innovation. The definition of white washed "Mexican" cuisine. Seriously lacking in the taste department. Place was busy though, so I feel bad for all the other patrons subjected to this palate highway robbery. Service had good attitude, but the food was seriously lacking. BLACK OLIVES DO NOT BELONG ON A BURRITO AARON.

Fast friendly service with a smile. The waitress shared that the Chili Rellano was her favorite, so I ordered that a Shrimp Taco. Best Chili Rellano I’ve ever had! I did ask the owner for the recipe but she turned me down! The salsa was also very good. They service beer and wine, no liquor.

Just horrible

Worst “Mexican”! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Salsa and chicken tasted as if it were straight from a can. The “queso” on our tacos were just shredded cheddar Jack. Please do not call this

Food was inadequate. No flavor . And messed up my order 2 times. I ordered the suppreme burrito, was only beef and sauce,meat tasted burnt. Ordered red a chalupa was just a tastada no meat. Asked for them to change it . And the waitress argued with me. We were a party of 3 and tge steak fajitas were bland . No flavor

Well we have eaten here a long time ago and thought the food was pretty good.. we went there and was busy. Our waitress seemed to be bothered at times, like we were a bother. Their salsa is very good, though. I Never got a refill on my water, even asked when she brought my wife her soda refill. Food had a bland taste to it. I threw some of the salsa on my chicken soft tacos and added some flavor. Rice and the beans were actually burnt and crispy, probably under a heat lamp too long. So wasn't too happy with lunch.

Great restaurant and service. On vacation and did a web search for places to eat nearby,and this place popped up. So we thought we'd give it a try. Not disappointed in that decision, the waitress was very friendly and the fajitas were outstanding. If I'm ever in the area again I will be coming here again. My suggestion is to give it a shot. Hopefully you won't be disappointed either. The only thing I can recommend would be the fajitas because that's what we had. Big ??
