Food was very delicious/flavorful and that's what would bring me back. But the service was very slow and we had to ask several time for water refills, our check, etc.

Cute little Mexican restaurant that DOES NOT HAVE TEQUILA. They just have beer & wine. Boy that was disappointing!! The cheese in my enchilada wasn't melted. My brother loved his mole chicken & fried ice cream. Nice restrooms.

We finally went here because it has always been busy when we have tried before. We went over the weekend just after lunch hours and it was not all that busy, we were able to get a good seat with no issues. Before, there was a wait outside. The food was exceptional and the service was very good. The only negative I can see is the amount of tables and chairs in the middle of the dining area, aside from the booths around the perimeter. There are so many that it would be very hard to even walk around when it's busy in there. I understand they want to maximize the amount of seating, but I would never want to go there when there is a wait to sit. Other than that, it was very good in all areas. Highly recommend, but go when not so busy.

Awful!! Sangria tasted like grape juice and the cheese and spinach quesadilla was terrible. Also overpriced.

Went there once previously, food was ok. Not bad, not special - nothing to remember. Ordered some soup and was told yes they have it and to come in and get it. Got there within 15 minutes, and they told me they were "sold out." Wife had just talked to them - and they mentioned nothing about possibly running out or being low. They sold out within 20 minutes? There were two people in the restaurant, which I've never seen be very busy (we like Joey D's in the same strip mall). Young girls working there were very rude, didn't seem to care at all that one of them basically lied to us and had us make a 30 minute round trip drive for absolutely no reason. This was miss-able for us already, but now we'll never go there again and make sure others realize there are much, much better options locally for Mexican food. The place is somewhat dirty inside too - read the Yelp reviews. When about 25% of your posted reviews are 1 star, you might be doing something wrong.
