Was in the plaza and saw they had lunch specials and took a chance. Big mistake. He spoke almost no English. I asked about the lunch specials he said they don't have any. I pointed to the menu where it says they do and I asked what they are and he told me the meats i could get. I asked how its served like taco or quesadilla or flautas and he said yes. So I pointed to the taquitos and asked if i could do it like that on corn and he said yes. I said does it come with rice or beans and he said yes. So when i got a big plate of what appeared to be stewed chicken I was confused and said I ordered the chicken lunch special with the rolled tacos. So he took them away and brought back taquitos, and only taquitos no rice or beans. At this point it was useless to argue. So i just ate my taquitos but when I tried to put the cheese on it I instantly gagged. The cheese had gone bad and was sour and disgusting. Finally, I just got the check and was overcharged for my food. After all that he didn't give me the lunch special even though it was only 1pm still well in the window. And it was supposed to come with a soda. I asked for the Mexican coke and I deff got the pepsi instead. Lastly, there were cockroaches crawling on the floor. I pointed it out to him and he stomped on one. Never going back and hoping I don't end up with food poisoning.

Food wasn't good at all... ordered 2 different things off the menu one hondureno and one mexicanBoth were flavorless and pricey for the little amount of food served...Being of Spanish decent, you're better off going to Los Portales for better taste and bang for buck

My daughter wanted to come here for her birthday based on many of the reviews, but we did not enjoy the food. Our meals were dry and a little overcooked. As Latinos, we expected better quality, but we were disappointed.

This is easily one of the worse restaurants I have ever eaten at. I should have listened to the little voice inside my head that told me to walk out as soon as we walked in.There were so many things wrong with this place:* The restaurant was empty & it was 6pm.* It smelled like cleaning products.* My cocktail was watered down & taste nothing like the drink it was supposed to be.* Service was bad bad bad. Subpar is the word that comes to mind.* The server was inattentive & appeared annoyed the entire time. She brought 4 glasses of water to the table; there were 5 of us. Our server did not give us plates or silverware when the appetizers arrived. When we asked for plates, she brought us 1 plate.* The chips were oily & tasted stale. The salsa & queso it came with tasted awful.* Everyone's dish tasted gross & we all left about 3/4 of the meal on our plates.* Don't order the seafood soup. It tasted like really bad clam chowder (minus the clams), it had shrimp, 3 crab claws, & a full piece of tilapia in the soup. Just weird & really, really bad.* Don't order the fajitas I had shrimp, chicken, & steak fajitas. The shrimp & rice were the only things edible. The refried beans were made with red beans & they were extremely dry. The steak & chicken were strips of over cooked & over-seasoned pieces of tough, dry meat.* The steak was thin & extremely overcooked. Overcooked like a leather shoe.* Finally, when we ask for the bill, our server waved us over to the register & there was something on the bill that we never received.* Look at your bill; we were charged a 20% gratuity. I had no problem leaving a minimum 15% tip, even for awful service, but I would hate to have accidentally given an additional 15% gratuity because I failed to notice that 20% was already included on the bill.Don't waste your time. I can't even fathom how this restaurant is still in business.

Le gusta contratar gente para luego no pagarle. El dueño es un lechón que se esconde con ese nombre tan basura. Págale los $300 que le debes al de la luz so lechón

We knew we were in trouble when we walked into the room and there were two people at the restaurant at the register and no customers on a Friday night around 6:30 pm. We were told to seat ourselves so we did. Then we were asked if we wanted something to drink. My husband ordered a beer, my son wanted a Horchata which was on the menu and was told they didn't have it so he ordered a coke and it came frozen. I ordered a frozen margarita which took over 15 minutes to get and it was made In the back, not at the bar in view and tasted terrible. The server came back and then told our son he could have a Horchata. So he said ok and when he got it he could not recognize the flavor. Then we ordered the queso appetizer. Listen carefully, this is my only compliment. The tortilla dipping chips appeared to be homemade. We then ordered dinner. Our son ordered the carne asada steak, my husband ordered the pork carnitas and was told they didn't have it. I ordered a vegetarian empanada with potato, onion and cheese in a flour tortilla. Then the server came back to tell my husband he could get the pork carnitas. Here is the entree review, the carne esadada steak looked like over done leather and there were two large pieces and they gave him only two tortillas. The refried beans tasted like they had cocoa in them or some spice we had never encountered in refried beans. My empanada crust looked pretty and homemade and tasted great. The filling however was sweet potato and a surprise and was very bland, inedible. I ate the crust. The salad with it was edible and my refried Beans were not great either. My husbands pork carnitas had the texture of beef jerky but beef jerky has more moisture! Not only was this meal terrible, it was expensive and the service was ridiculously slow since we were the only ones there the entire time. My husband had to go to the register to pay because they were so slow. I honestly think they do not care about having any business at all. Maybe they do something Else on the side because in my opinion it is shocking they are even open. This may sound cruel but they earned every bit of this review. We felt like an inconvenience.
