I was so disappointed by this place.... and I was so so so excited to try it after reading the reviews and seeing the photos. When pulling in the parking lot was packed I had to park in the additional parking, so I thought to myself this place MUST be good. I went by myself this past Saturday. I was greeted warmly, and was told I could sit any where I wanted. I sat down in a booth and it took 10 minutes for anyone to come over with a menu. I ordered the cerizo queso, asked for a side of jalapenos and the waiter what would be a good strong margarita. He suggested the Texas, frozen. I asked if I could have a Cornona in it as well, he said yes. The chips were dark brown, stale. The waiter brought out the margarita and it is as big as my purse!, That was pretty nice but its all sour mix and had little to no alcohol. I waited 20 minutes and when the waiter came back for my order, I asked him about the appetizer he said, Oh yes... let me go check on that. He had forgot. When I asked him for his suggestion on food, we agreed on the #20, a burrito, taco and guac.. something. He brought the appetizer..forgot the jalapenos. He brought the food and forgot the taco that goes with it. The food was bland, unflavored. at this point I was disappointed. Not only for the time it took, but also for the service. I asked for a Togo box and check.... he charged me for the appetizer and jalapenos that he forgot!. He took the cheese dip off, I still tipped 20% but I will never come back.

One of my all-time favorite Mexican restaurants. The food is always consistent - large portions, tastes delicious. Quick, friendly service. Of the dozens of Mexican restaurants in the general vicinity this is one of the best.

Hubby and I stopped in after reading good reviews. I had the shrimp quesadilla which was very good. I also enjoyed a frozen margarita. It was perfect.

The food is tasty. Good portion for the pricing. Customer service is good. Not to eat busy and a little small which is perfect for a simple first date.
