In Short – Utilitarian wooden booths and tables populate the dim interior. The bustling parking lot dictates the scene inside: Dusty pick-up trucks crowd in at lunchtime, minivans and SUVs make up the early dinner rush, and later a steady stream of six-cylinder sedans pull in for fajitas for two. Hungry appetites go for the burrito supreme filled with ground beef and topped with guacamole, cheese and salad. The chili relleno practically explodes with smoky, char-grilled chicken.

Great Authentic Mexican Food

by deadpedal

My wife and I have been going here for years. The food is always consistently delicious and an amazing value for the price! They make a really good Chili Relleno and the Burito Verde is just delicious as are many other dishes. The staff is friendly and orders arrive at your table super fast even when they are extremely busy. They also make a terrific margarita on the rocks. Anyone who doesn’t like this place would probably rather eat something that wasn’t authentic or perhaps something bland… like a chain restaurant such as Cancun. They understand how to season food and have the proper amount of heat. We are big fans of good local restaurants. This is one of our favorites for the value.

  • Pros:  Great Food, Great Margaritas, Efficient Staff
  • Cons: Parking

Dog Food.

by jefriend

We went, saw, ate some of the food that literally looked like dog food, paid, then left.

I wish I could give zero stars because it was just the worst food I've ever had in my life. Bland, awful looking, no presentation, gimme a "HI" at the door would be nice.

The Taco Salad looked like they had opened up a can of dog food, dumped it in the bowl, dropped some lettuce and tomato on top, and then dumped two kinds of shredded cheese on it. Hello, Mexican people. You put the cheese on top of the meat so it melts! Like the Mexicans do in Mexico! That didn't matter anyways because the food was just luke warm.

My partner had an enchilada that had VELVEETA cheese in it. YUUUUUUK!!!!! We thought we were going to get sick right outside the door when we exited.

Don't bother. Don't go. We should have gone to Taco Bell. I may have to move back to New York to get decent food to eat. Yikes.

  • Pros: None.
  • Cons: They only like you at the end ...when they want a tip.

Best place for quick & delicious food

by monkey317

We have been going here for about 14 years & have never had a bad experience. The food is hot & cooked quickly. The servers are so nice. The guys are cute, too! My son loves their cheese dip & my husband & I love the beef fajitas. If we arrive early we can be seated, order, eat & go in 45 minutes! It's a great family place & when my parents come in town it's their favorite, too! Also, if it is crowded, the wait is never too long.

  • Pros: friendly service, delicious food & fast!
  • Cons: parking
