I ordered the Carne Asada, which is usually my "go to" when I eat at a mexican restaurant. Wait time wasn't so bad. The chips and salsa were good too, the tortilla chips were crunchy and salsa was flavorful. But unfortunately, my Carne Asada fell flat. I asked the beef to be cooked at medium but the beef was tough and overcooked. I was surprised at how dry it was. There were some pieces of the beef that were decent, but overall just too overcooked and dry for me. It was pretty disappointing actually for my first time here. Service was great, they were attentive and checked up on us from time to time. I just felt like the Carne Asada price at $17.99 did not correlate with the quality of meat at all. The other sides were good, like the avocado, beans and rice. And the overall portion size was great too. But for the dish as a whole, I can't justify the price for that. I've been to other mexican restaurants in the area with better Carne Asada that I'd choose in a heartbeat. Despite that experience, I'd come back here but I'd definitely order something else.

So finally after all these years, I came here with my dad. Service was fast and helpful. There are many tables and places to sit. They have a large menu too. I ordered the Beef Chimichangas with all the sides, and my dad had the Chicken Fajitas. Food came out pretty quick. I will say, the portion size is incredible. The price is reasonable depending on the time you come for lunch or dinner, and they give you so much. For me, I love all the sides and some places tend to give a meager amount, but not this place. And they didn't even cheap out on the guacamole amount too. I had some to take home at the end, so I was happy about that. Although the food was decent and plentiful, I will say that it lacked flavor for me. It wasn't amazing in comparison to all the Mexican places I've tried around the area. And also I guess from eating Mexican food in California, I have a high standard. Like I reiterated before, great portion size but a little disappointing regarding the flavor. It felt like it was missing something, maybe a little salt but also something more that I can't put my finger on. I'm not sure if I would come back.

Chips: Average…read more Salsa: A tad better than average for Mexican restaurants in the South. Food: Maybe 3 stars. At least they served an adequate amount of sauce with the enchilada, something that doesn't happen nearly enough. Service: 1-2 stars.

Ambience: Average.

It doesn't have any real flashy decor, it's very humble in it's atmosphere and setting. But where it really show off it's greatness is in the food and the service. Our server was "Excellent"! Very helpful with our order and because of our dietary needs we were very specific on what we wanted and didn't want. She made it all happen and when it did, OMG the food was so good (the salsa could have used more cilantro, but I'm nit picking at that) and there were very reasonable portions for a very reasonable price. I know of at least 3 other places in the vicinity of this restaurant that are not only higher priced for what you get (very little), but the food is bland and poorly prepared and/or a poor quality of ingredients that make the food undesirable. This place has got it's act together and does it well. We will be visiting them many times in the future. They are truly worth your time to check out and get good value for your money. Hope this helps :)

We all ordered the same thing: the Mushroom Ravioli. It was absolutely delicious. The raviolis were covered in sauce and had parmesan and parsley sprinkled on top. Presentation was nice. I loved how creamy, yet light the sauce was. Also perfectly salted too. The Mushroom Raviolis were very flavorful, had a rich umami and savory taste to it. For my first dish here, it was very memorable. I'm pretty sure I was about to drink the sauce because I loved it haha. My only complaint is that I wish there was more. The dish had 6 raviolis. The ravioli was a decent size, but for the price I was expecting a little bit more. Despite this, I would come back again. I really enjoyed my food, it was a 4.5/5 for me.

The burrito was small and cold. My husband ordered the Hawaiian tacos, again, cold. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup which we had here a week ago and it was amazing. Tonight it was awful! I told the waitress and she didn't seem to care. It had an off flavor and I was afraid to eat it. It was only 8:30 and she was basically rushing us to pay and leave. On our way out she actually said " I hope the soup is better next time"! It's too bad this restaurant isn't more consistent and that a manager isn't checking in with the customers. This place could be amazing all the time if properly run.
