    While I love eating local, and the food was decent, this place fell a little flat for me in terms of overall experience. First and foremost: the service was awful. It took us a full 5 minutes to be seated, another 10 for drinks to be brought out, and 10 MORE for alcohol to be brought out and for us to finally place food orders. The restaurant was basically empty while we were there and we were the only table in our waitress' section. Of the near 2 hours we were in the restaurant, our waitress appeared a grand total of 4 times (our food was brought by a runner). As for the food, the one thing I will give it is that the value is spectacular. $10 got me a ton of food, and most of my food was to my liking, and somewhat authentic. I'd likely order this to-go, because the food really was good, but the poor service will likely prevent me from coming back to dine.

    TWICE I have eaten here [okay, ONCE at each location,] before a Show at ARDMORE LITTLE THEATER, while visiting from out of town. The food was prompt and filled with Authentico Mexican flavors. The crowded dining room (both times) made me apprehensive about a sit down meal, before the show, but, (both times,) the apprehensions were unfounded. The Wait staff (Both times) were courteous and happy to help with a food allergy (sin narajas, por favor!) information, and reccommended safe choices. The Cancun (Tilapia) Special was bountiful and fully delicious! The ticket was not prone to sticker shock, and quite reasonable, even higher it would be worth it! I skipped dessert, but the sopapillas LOOKED awesome.

    Margaritas were horrible. Salsa bland. Entrée portions small and had NO flavor! Will not return.

    We ordered togo but wished we could have stayed cause the atmosphere is so welcoming in there, it…read morefeels like eating at a loving family member's home. Service was on point and the food was phenomenal. I will most definitely be back. Best Togo food I've had in a very long time. It didn't get soggy or taste any less amazing when we got it to where we were going. Didn't even get a picture because we ate it so fast but I'll be back for the appetizer sampler. Those cheese sticks and green tomatoes were to die for!

    The Right spot is Open! Tables are not cleaned promptly…read moreafter people leave. Inside is still the same, seems to have more staffing. 2 guys just chilling in the dining room, no drinks or food? Kinda sketch. Ok they got a drink. Food is coming out kinda slow but its usually worth the wait. Ok food was good, not as good as normal but good. Kitchen needs to work on getting food out and timing, for example my burger was not hot, my wifes was, my tots had obviously sat while my wifes fresh chips got fried. I live exactly 2 blocks away and we ordered food to go. We left the house at 5:33 and got home at 6:17, no side trips or extra stops. I really like the owners and the staff is attentive. We waited 1 week after the re opening to go in. They will get the kinks worked out and the flow moving in the kitchen. Still a local spot that deserves your business. Down to 3 stars this time, hopefully more next time in.
