Partner got veggie fajitas (love the broccoli in it) and I had a lunch chile relleno. The salsa was fresh and the waters were cold. We arrived on a Saturday at 12:30 and were immediately seated. There's a large weekend staff (sitting next to the kitchen I've clocked at least a dozen people) and there's a large contingent of Latinx folks, always a good sign.

Then on the other side of us was the kitchen with a different loud music playing along with someone singing loudly and whistling. I thought a margarita would help but that was lousy. Tasted like a limeade and had regular table salt on the rim. Worst Margarita I've ever had. We both got a taco salad with beef. Very little beef and a lot of soupy beans that made the whole thing just tasteless slop. The pico had no cilantro and too many peppers and not enough tomatoes. The salsa was watery and loaded with black pepper. The service is like Waffle House. Literally yelling at each other across the restaurant. Taco Bell is better!

The decor was standard American - Mexican style which seems to be the norm in this style of restaurant. I ordered the Steak quesadilla, which included a side of rice. Our meals were brought to the table with a minimal wait. My Steak quesadilla was a generous portion. I liked that the lettuce and sour cream were on the plate, which allowed me to put the amount I liked inside the quesadilla. Steak strips were plentiful and cooked to my liking. Our server was polite and efficient. The only ding would be outside of the restaurant. The parking lot is surrounded by junked cars, weeds, and a broken concrete pad. Not an inviting site for a good restaurant.

Just a bar, with great drinks, maybe a dozen tables, and superb service. This Sunday we stopped by for lunch. Started out good, the waitress brought chips and salsa as is the norm, gave us time to make our decisions and took our order. Went downhill from there. We waited for our meal, and waited, and waited. Over 30 minutes. We saw patrons come in, order, receive their food, eat and pay their bill. Still, we waited. When the food finally arrived, we had to send my wife's plate back because the food was cold I never saw a waitress carry anything to the table, it was a robot. Overall a disappointing experience. It will be a while before I return. Sometimes bigger is NOT better.

The service was good, friendly and efficient. We are from southern CA and both know and love our Mexican food. The three entrees we order, unfortunately, did not meet our expectations. Our granddaughter ordered the chicken burrito bowl and was satisfied. It looked like the best entree of the three we ordered. The grilled chicken was tasty but there were otherwise no interesting flavors. The ingredients were fresh. My husband and I began by sharing the chicken nachos. The dish was made without the refried beans advertised on the menu, came with ground chicken (not grilled or shredded) and didn't taste as if it were flavored. The "yellow cheese" was liquid cheese rather than grated cheese. Most disappointing, it was not hot. The jalapeños and tomato-onions were the best items on the dish. We asked for salsa and were provided with green salsa that also lacked flavor or spice. Reading reviews, it seems as if hotter version might have been an option. Not feeling satisfied, we ordered two grilled chicken tacos with a side of refried beans. The dish came with the same flavorless ground chicken. No salsa. The refried beans were definitely homemade, a plus, yet were also flavorless. Overall, flavorless is the word of the day, sadly. We wanted to write a great review as we enjoy supporting small, family owned businesses. If we lived locally, we would return and have a conversation with the owners about the dishes that contain more traditional Mexican spices and flavor combinations. I bet there are dishes that locals know about and enjoy enough to return.
