It was okay, nothing special, we had lunch specials and a chili ryeno that we couldn't eat because it was so salty.... Couldn't... get our check.... Service was not great..... Read more

Staff was very nice and overall a clean looking restaurant. I ordered the lunch fajitas which come with 2 tortillas. There was... very little fajita to fill them up. Only one piece of pepper and the rest onions and protein. I felt like I was eating mostlytortilla. There wasn?t much flavor or seasoning. It was pretty bland. They sure looked good though! Read more

This was a favorite spot before we moved to another part of town just before March 2020. They've had to do away with Taco... Thursday due to the rising cost of meat so it was pretty slow this Thurs nite. Servers were pleasant and the food good but wemissed the old experience that made it a regular stop for us. Read more

This restaurant is tucked into the corner of a little strip mall but they are serving big flavors in generous portions. The... service is attentive. My first time here and I ordered Fajitas del Mar ????. It has awesome presentation on a fajita skilletand everything that came with it was delicious. I would recommend this place to friends and will definitely return to try moreitems. Read more

Ok. I want to say really nice things about this location. Every since her son took over they had some very cute girls working... here. They smile. They flirt. Even with the woman. I Always feel special here. Now. The food. The food is seasoned very well.The portion sizes are below average compared to similar restaurants in the same area. Even still you feel at homehere. Con: The seating is old torn and uncomfortable. You can feel the spring and wood in your butt. The for fajitas latelyhave been Burnt and dried out. The restaurant fixes a drink, not make one. The combination of alcohol to ice to mixture istypically made by one of the servers. Which one admits that he doesn?t drink!!! That?s like a cook that doesn?t eat. You have noidea what it it?s suppose to look like or taste like if you haven?t tried it! So be prepared for cheap drinks with no kick orTAP on the shoulder. (I ordered a large margarita and it had no taste and I?m not even referring to the alcohol!!! (Note: learnto blend. Teach the staff. Have signature drinks)) If you order a ?to go? order check your order. Unless you order inside andin Spanish your special orders (no tomatoes) will be extremely wrong 3 out of 10 times.

The food was very good! I had the lunch special #25 and all I can say is delicioso! Sorry I didn't take a picture of my meal, as... soon as it came to my table.....I dove in. Although they were busy they handled it well. I really like the fact that theowner/manager doesn't mind helping out. He takes orders, cleans tables, is the cashier, and will make drinks if need be = Goodteamwork and leadership! He does that everytime I've been there. He jumps right in and help his people out.
