I used to love this place for the affordability but it has went up in price however the quality of food is still there and the service is quiet fast! I visited today with my husband and father-in-law and my food came out in 10 minutes or less so that was great! The also have a very large selection of food and drinks including alcoholic drinks!Parking: Depending on how busy it is you may or may not find parking!

The food is amazing and the prices are much more pocket friendly than expected. Everyone is nice and we are so grateful that we love close. Lol. Try it, you won't be disappointed! Btw, the enchiladas are my favorite ?

Good service, good portions. Excellent atmosphere.

Went for lunch. We had the pollo asado and pollo con crema. The grilled vegetables in the asado were very good. It was like a fajita only with more and better grilled vegetables. The poblano pepper was great in the crema sauce. The chicken in the con crema was good, whereas the chicken in the asado was a little too flattened and maybe a little overcooked. Portions were large, prices were reasonable and service was friendly and efficient. Large selection of salsas but you have to look for the salsa bar because it is kind of tucked away behind the reception area at the entrance, on the way to a hallway that leads to the restrooms. Overall good, not great. But for local Mexican food at a reasonable price, we'd go back.

How is this place even in business? Horrible service! They served my wife warm white wine. The food blows. How does this place have 4 stars? I'm shocked! The food was disgusting.

Food was was good. It does have a Tex-Mex taste to it though. Would not consider it "authentic Mexican food".

Combination burrito ? and enchilada. 2nd time here and last time. The meat was like spaghetti sauce nothing else in the burrito or enchilada no sheared lettuce gauc or sour cream . With rice and bean rice was over cooked. Don't waste your money just go on to Papas and Beer.

EXCELLENT tacos, friendly staff, and a chill atmosphere. I'm excited to try more of the menu. I'll definitely order the Birria and Chorizo tacos again as well. I'm new to the area and am overjoyed to have a go-to Mexican spot.

Having dinner with family, a table of 4. Every one of our tacos were cold, the rice was very undercooked and hard. My girlfriends food came out 20 minutes after everyone elses, as well as my tamale (which was so burnt that I couldn't cut thru it and the meet tasted like charcoal). An absolutely all around terrible experience, and I used to love this place. I'm never coming here again.

Do not patronize these guys. They have a car show which includes street racing on merriman and it goes on all night. Unfortunately the police don't care but hey it's a******. The food kind of stinks too.
