This was our first time at this location. I'm so glad that we finally made it in. The first thing we immediately noticed when walking in was how clean and organized everything was/is. Super impressive. The staff was warm and inviting so we were feeling hopeful. The food did not disappoint. My husband had the Pechuga De Pollo En Mole Poblano--which is grilled chicken breast with mole poblano sauce and topped with melted white cheese served with rice and beans and tortillas. It was fantastic. I couldn't make up my mind and went with a combo so I could try a few things: Enchilada, Taco & Chimichanga. Really good. The portions are generous, food was delicious and service was great.

It was OK, a basic Mexican restaurant. The grilled chicken was a little dry.

Strawberry margaritas are good but if you don’t order any food they will not give you any chips and salsa sad to say if it didn’t taste so bland maybe I would have ordered female waitresses are inattentive and not

First time there. Ordered something on the menu I thought couldn't be screwed up. Got the Quesedilla with chicken. ALMOST got majorly sick later that night. Only thing I ate that night. 3 tums just to hold it down.Never going back.

Two stars for decent service. Went there on a Friday for lunch and waitress and staff were nice. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated inside. I ordered the plate lunch with chunky beef and prob the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Everyone has diff taste buds and preferences but you can get better Mexican food esp for the price at other restaurants in the area. Disappointed because I've been there once before when they first opened and food was equally horrible but was hoping it was just due to them being new, but this confirms it's just bad and not for me. I def would not recommend and will not be coming back.

I picked a lunch time that was not too busy to take a young friend of mine to lunch. The place was not overly busy; we were shown to our table by a pleasant hostess. I was expecting some really good food given how frequently I see their jammed parking lot. The selections were more than sufficient to find your favorites. But the service was indifferent and the food mediocre. I had a relatively tasteless chili relleno, and my companion ordered a combination plate. We didn't finish either and didn't take the server's offer of a container. On the way out, the same pleasant hostess wished us well.

Went there about 7 pm Sat night. Not crowded. Got seated right away. Sat there for nearly 10 minutes and no one waited on us. My boyfriend got his coat on. I caught the hostess and asked here where our waiter was? Table next to us same thing. We finally got our drinks. They were good. Beer and strawberry daiquiri were good. Food then came fast. It was good. The bar area is very cool. Probably won't go back tho. Too short staffed I think.

Decided to try a new place since I was craving Mexican food. I should have read the reviews. I ordered the chicken and cheese quesadilla and the pina colada margarita mix, my husband ordered the chicken tostadas. First off the drink was not that great for $13. The chicken had absolutely no flavor/seasoning. They used regular Colby jack cheese. It was just not good at all. Same with my husbands. I have never been to an “authentic” Mexican restaurant where the food tasted so bland. Service was mediocre to say it nicely. I honestly will not return.
