This is the place to go for some guaranteed good Mexican food. I came here specifically for the…read moresopes which were excellent. I love their abundant meat options, which are basically any meat and style you can think of. Their elote/esquite was ok and i think probably very authentic, but i prefer the (undoubtedly less authentic) version where it's just a little bit of corn in a huge cup of mayo. The service is amazing. They are so nice, and when our little one was having a rough time the waitress came over and tried playing with him and helping out. Every time a server would pass by they'd stop and smile at him and you could tell he was the most popular guy in the shop. The -1 star is just for the ambiance, which is fine but nothing spectacular. It can get quite loud, and the fluorescent lights are very bright and a little off putting. It's a fine place to get great Mexican food, it's just not the most pleasant place to eat.

The fajita quesadilla was pretty good as well. I did not like the beans. I had ordered a margarita, reluctantly because there wasn't a price on the menu. It didn't come right away, so I think my server forgot to put it in. I saw her look and remember and it came with my meal. I could've done without it. Come to find out, it was as much money as my quesadilla ($13!!!) not worth the price. Not sure if they have drink specials certain days. Definitely ask. As I was eating, a gal came in, they set up a speaker and microphone and she started singing songs in Spanish. It was a fun treat, though I only understood some of what she sang. She had a pretty good voice. Definitely wasn't expecting the entertainment, but at least she sounded alright.

It's obvious the owners are looking for profit on ask the wrong ways to open their second location. They use to have a vast selection of hot sauces and now there is 6 different bottles with 3 being empty sitting sad above the salsa bar.. That's probably not a bad thing as the hot sauces are now off such a poor quality that they are what you would expect out of a dollar tree clearance rack. The salsas are still good but given the quantity of chips in my to go order you won't have anything to dip in them. I had 6 chips.... 6... Why bother if that's all your giving as that's just enough to make you mad. Well that left room for a big burrito right? Nope. This thing was taco bell sized. Easily30-40% smaller than chipotle or diablos. Surely there is quality ingredients right? The chicken in the burrito was dry dry dry over cooked. No big chunks just little hard over cooked over charred pebbles.. match that with either rice that was under cooked or under the heat lamp too long.. Least there wasnt a lot of the filling as the ratio of tortilla was so high that's all you really tasted and ate anyway .. You can't raise prices and make the product smaller and less quality all at the same time. Its well worth driving farther to Diablos or two businesses over to Chipotle.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was extremely disappointing…read more My friends and I visited this restaurant to celebrate a very important milestone in one of our lives. We arrived around 6:58 PM and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. It took approximately 45 minutes before our order was even taken. During an earlier attempt to place our order, our server stopped in the middle of assisting us and stated, "Oh wait, I need to go give this other table their beers first." Throughout the evening, it was difficult to find our server whenever we needed anything. To make matters more frustrating, my partner and I only ordered guacamole and queso, items that are typically considered appetizers and generally do not require a lengthy preparation time. Despite this, our order still never arrived, even while the other members of our party had ordered full meals. After waiting nearly an hour, we decided we no longer wished to remain at the restaurant. It is important to note that the restaurant was not particularly busy at the time, although staff appeared to be beginning closing procedures on one side of the restaurant despite us arriving well before closing. I requested to speak with a manager. After explaining our concerns, his response was simply, "Do you want me to check on the food?" By that point, I was traveling and no longer had additional time to wait, so I informed him that we would just like to leave. What was most disappointing was that the manager never returned to speak with us afterward. Instead, our server came back and handed us a check for our drinks and queso, which we paid without issue. Additionally, shortly after we received the complimentary chips and salsa, the server asked whether we were actually going to order anything, which came across as though she assumed we had only come in for free chips and salsa. As someone who has spent more than 10 years in management and currently serves in a director-level position in healthcare, I understand that delays can happen. However, communication, professionalism, and managerial accountability are essential. The lack of follow-up and concern shown during this experience was unacceptable. As people of color dining in this establishment, the experience unfortunately left us questioning whether race may have played a role in how we were treated. I cannot say that definitively, but it certainly contributed to how uncomfortable and unwelcome we felt. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and one that should prompt management to evaluate both service standards and how concerns from guests are addressed.

It is a pretty big space with tables and booths, we went around 3pm on a Sunday and they was a consistent busy crowd to come in and out. They have hot food and cold snacks like ice cream, mangonadas; etc. and 2 areas you can order from for each of those. The manager/owner gentleman that was there was super friendly, helped us fix our order when they made a mistake checking us out. I have no complaints about the customer service here. For drinks we got the Medium strawberry agua fresca ($6.50) with boba ($0.96) and a Medium horchata ($5.95). For food we got the steak quesadilla ($11.75), tacos al pastor ($12.22) and a queso ($3.25). I took 1 star off because of two things: - the queso was SO watery, we didn't even finish it lol very underwhelming - for 2 meals, 2 drinks & queso it was ~$40.00, I'm from TX and that just seems like highway robbery I'm glad that I got a chance to try them out, I will probably only come here for a snack every once in a while if those prices aren't as high.

My pistachio ice cream was okay, but not really worth the trouble I went through to get it.
