6 out if 10. Nice atmosphere. Food is average for TX Mex.
My bf and I go here a lot. We love that the salsa comes in a decanter because it means we don’t have to ask for refills as often. The queso is amazing. I usually get the taquitos and he gets the burrito california. I’ve never gone and had bad food. But sometimes it can be very crowded. So there’s a wait and not as much attention from waiters. But its cheap and good. And not too many other options in town.
ENDLESS menu. Good food. Very friendly staff. Tons for food for the money!
Good food. Service is a little slow, but the food is always good. Expect a wait on the weekends. Good prices. Favorite Mexican restaurant in the area.
Decent for American-Mexican Food. Not great mexi food but not bad either. Atmosphere is fine but can be loud when busy. Food is usually hot, fast and flavorful. Salsa is fast coming and not bad. Food usually comes fast enough not to fill up on the chips. Overall a fave for fast close Mexi food.
Worst Food Ever. I recently ate here for the first time while attending a friend’s birthday party. The Margaritas came out in various colors from yellow to a pea green color. We were told the color change was due to extra shots being added. I then ordered the chicken chimichanga that came with rice and beans. The chimichanga was horrible. It was loaded with onion and peppers that were undercooked. After picking them out I then had to drown it with guacamole to give it any flavor. the rice was dry and the refried beans had a purplish tint, so i did not even try them. I will never eat at this establishment again. Upon complaining to the management about the quality of my food, nothing was done.
Worst Food Ever. Had the absolute displeasure of eating here this past weekend. I guess the dirty utensils and glassware should have been a big indication of the quality (or lack there of) of this restaurant. I ordered the Carne Asada what I got was 2 very thinly sliced pieces of steak???? dry as a bone smothered by a heaping mound of sauteed onions (presumably to add flavor to this awful dish I guess) surrounded by the blandest fried rice and re-fried beans which had a strange purple hue to them.The Margaritas were extremely weak with way to my sour mix in themThe queso was extremely runny and had strange chunks in it Others in my party were also extremely disappointed with the quality of the food as well
