Be careful because on the bill they charge you many more than what you ordered, the bill was very high

Food was just okay. Not really flavorful for Mexican food and it seemed like there was only one person working

Great atmosphere, music was great, super friendly owners, cute kid hanging out with mom and dad at the front.We stopped here on the way to solar eclipse 2024 and it was a little sketchy on the outside I think just because it is a small town and a small operation, don’t let that stop you!! The inside is adorable, lots of lovely plants, a beautiful family is running the restaurant and the music was much evolved from the typical mariachi fare! 10/10 I also got the skinny margarita and it was very good. If you’re looking for this kind of American Mexican to remind you of home, it really hit the spot ?Vegetarian options: Can swap a lot out to make it vegetarianDietary restrictions: Mexican is always one of the best for those with dietary restrictions because you can use a lot of fresh ingredients, beans instead of meat corn tortilla or no tortilla for gluten free etc etcParking: One side of the building is a drive thru and one side is parking lot. Probably 15-20 spots!Kid-friendliness: It’s super vibrant, colorful and open for kids! There are some fun (virgin) drink options and the decorations are stimulating. It’s also not super packed or anything so if you have hyper kids they could potentially move a bit without disturbing other customers.Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty open layout and lots of tables!

I was just there earlier today around 5pm and it is currently 12:41am AND I AM STILL UP AND BARELY ALIVE THINKING ABOUT THIS MEDIOCRE SERVICE, FOOD, AND AMBIANCE. First things first I must get this off my chest just like how my stomach made me VOMIT my food out, I had tacos de carne asada and that may have been the worse decision i’ve ever made in my life. Immediately after I left this establishment called a restaurant I had this god awful feeling in my stomach, the food made me sick. It wasn’t even worth it either because the food tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave and had been taken straight out of cardboard. NO ONE should EVER have to pay for terrible food like this, nonetheless THIS MUCH, the food was most definitely overpriced for how it is. If your going to be paying a ridiculous amount for this chum bucket food at least make it EDIBLE. I will NEVER be coming back to this place again not only because of how bad the food was, but because of how my body quite literally rejected it out of me.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was good. We had the burrito deluxe and they were filling. I also had a frozen margarita and that was good too.We'll definitely be going back.

I wasn't very impressed I got a half a slice of a tomato on my enchiladas not diced tomatoes and it was supposed to come with guacamole and it didn't. I wasn't very impressed. Food came out super fast so I doubt it's made fresh. I won't be going back . The server was cool and they cool setting.
