Went in for dinner Sunday evening about 5:30 pm. Reservations help, but count on a wait. After about 6:30 pm, I didn't see many people waiting. Food was generally good, but I think it had a bit too much salt. I got a Moterray plate and it had the best flauta I have ever had. Rice was good, salsa and chips were good. Beef enchilada was average. Ribs and shrimp is really good. Portion size is medium to large, depending on what you order. Service is downrated here because we asked for more salsa and it didn't come, and the food for the four of us didn't all arrive at the same time. Also I overheard one of the waiters telling another table that "the bar was backed up" and their drinks would take a while. One of our drinks was also slow to arrive. Prices were somewhat high. There are other places that offer the same for less, flautas excepted. Overall good experience.Parking: Had to park in the nearby HD lot. I guess they don't mind.

Love this location!!But make sure to get there early on popular days (ie Cinco de Mayo, Mother's/Father's Day) or be prepared to wait!Parking: They share a parking lot with Home Depot, so their lot fills up (which is usually always during the busy times), you can park in the Home Depot area.Kid-friendliness: It has a family atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair accessibility sucks, cause you have to park in the back and then come in a side entrance. It's there just a lil bit inconvenient.

We went for lunch, mind you it was busy and we were fairly patient. Everyone at my table received their food before me, and it wasn't like a minute or two difference, it was too the point that EVERYONE at my table received their food and finished before mine had even come to the table. Our waitress finely brings my plate of flautas out and apologizes for the wait and says it will be taken off our ticket. OK fine. The rest of our group leaves except for 2 people and me. While I eat, my friend orders nachos to go and during that time we are waiting for that, I have time to eat my food. (Which I don't actually eat all of at this point) when the bill comes for the take out food, not only are the nachos on their, the flautas as well. My friend paid because we needed to be somewhere, but why make a big deal about you're going to take it off the bill only to have it end up on a tab of a completely different order? A different person in thr group paid for the original meal, so it's baffling to me. Thus experience wasn't the worst, but don't come with a large group. They seen to get overwhelmed quickly and it is unfortunate cause they do have a good atmosphere for groups with kids.

30 minute wait for two on a Saturday for a table so we sat at a cocktail table in the Cantina. Margaritas were great, queso should have been hotter, but the fajitas and shrimp made up for that. Tortillas, sides, and cold plates were all fresh and well presented. Don’t pass up the brownie, it was definitely giving lil Debbie cosmic brownie but it was fantastic. Great server.

I am not one but I lean that way occasionally so I always look and take note! Good variety! Also their guacamole is to die for!

I’ve always loved this place and made it a frequent stop for out of town visitors. So hate to see on this visit that the prices have increased and the portions are smaller sadly. Shocked to see that one house margarita now costs as much as the lunch entrees. It’s still good food but I’ll be going to places where a lunch for 2 with one drink isn’t $80 before tip. No wonder it’s not crowded anymore.

Great food, fast service went to eat after Arlington Renegades game with the family and a few extra kids...we love Mexican food and they are all a little bit different.. This place has a few different items like the rest. But over all everything we had was great.

It's a bit loud, but service was decent and the food was good. Having lived in California for a couple decades, this isn't really what I think of as Mexican cuisine. I guess it's Tex-Mex. Plenty tasty, just a different spice mix than what I'm used to out west.
