Yet another delicious meal! We're regulars here and always have a good time and delicious food. Servings are generous and the... staff is friendly. Norma in particular is the highlight of our visit! She always makes us feel like family and remembers detailsof our family. Norma is a gem! Their hard tacos are the best! Spicy Habenaero sauce is great! Read more

THEY DO NOT RESPECT THEIR CUSTOMERS. Just take a look at the picture attached. What does it make you think? To me, it seems like... Monday to Sunday from 2-6pm everything on that drink menu is covered under happy hour UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE. My friend and Iordered 2 drinks. They charged me full price and when I asked why since we were there for happy hour, the manager said ?youshould have asked, that is your duty.? When you give me a happy hour menu, why on Earth would I ask you if the drinks in themenu are covered under happy hour? He started to push the blame onto me. When I told him I would leave a review, he told me tobe lenient and ?tell the full story that you never asked us or clarified with us? . Anyway, reader beware, I?ll let you be thejudge of this situation by looking at the picture below. If something isn?t covered under happy hour, then MENTION IT. Star it,underline it, or a write a little note next to it. I?m not going to dream up the fact that a particular drink inside the happyhour menu isn?t included in happy hour. What irked me even more is that he pushed the blame onto me for not clarifying, . Toldme it?s always the customer?s responsibility to ask and that he?s been in the restaurant business for 10 years and this is thenorm everywhere. Nope. It isn?t. I?ve eaten in restaurants all over the world. When you place something under a happy hourmenu, it?s usually included in the happy hour deal. Common sense! Don?t know if this is intentional to get customers to orderdrinks and pay more. Or if it?s just bad user interface. Either way, I?m not going again ONLY BECAUSE the manager started toargue with me telling me it was my fault. Not how you treat a customer. Never going again. Left a bad taste in my mouth, punvery very intended. Read more

A pleasant place to hang out with friends before a movie. If you think of this as a Mexican restaurant you may be disappointed.... If you think of this as a very conveniently located bar with a bigger than usual menu and a patio you?ll probably have a greattime like we did. Tasty food, reasonable prices and the service was good.

Staff were not very inviting and seemed like they could care less if we were there or not. The food however was AMAZING. Would... be worth trying of your I'm that area for sure. Read more

It?s hard to find great authentic Mexican food, you can absolutely find it here! The house fajitas are amazing and addicting. ... If you like spicy, the habanero based salsa that they serve with their chips goes with everything. We come here whenever wecrave Mexican food and have never been disappointed. Read more

The food was good. Probably the best hard shell tacos I have even eaten. The wait was most painfully long however. I am... reserving judgment on the wait as almost every business is under staffed right now. They also charged me for a second refill ona coke. At 2.99 each , that's a bit much...... Will I go again? Probably. Read more

Really slow service for it not being busy at all. Took about 15 minutes for calamari and 30-40 minutes to get both of our... sandwiches. So I was full from the chips and salsa by the time the calamari came out. Calamari batter is on the thicker side.The salsas are delicious. Had a bite of The torta Cuban and it is delicious. Same with The fajita burger! Great portions for theprice. Overall I would probably just do take out instead of dining in. Read more
