From the outside you would not expect what's inside. The outside is a shitty little strip mall next to Walmart. On the inside it's decorative and festive. The service by Carlos was fantastic both times I've been in this week. First time I ordered steak and chicken fajitas and OMG there was a lot of food. If I had to be critical, I'd say it could have had more onions. Next time in I chose the carne asada tacos and it was still very filling. Great hot sauce too. Will be a frequent customer

My palate is more accustomed to the TexMex flavor I get back in Texas. My meal was okay. It just wasn't what I am used to. I was very pleased with my margarita. No complaints there.

They were so kind to let us use the back room for our painting event, as long as we were ordering food from them. There were lots of people, ordering at different times, and they handled it all very well. We had a great time!

Yum. Service was friendly and quick I had a 'choose your own' combo. Steak taco, pork tamale, and chili relleno with sides of refried beans and rice. Everything was good.

The paella is unique, different and delicious! Worth the trip just for this. Salads are very good for Mexican. Great fast service too.

I've been here about 10 times with work buddies cashiers are always unfriendly and look perturbed that they have to take my money. Waiter doesn't offer refills till ready to go and then brings bill. Chips aren't fresh, food is average or below average. Won't be going here again.
