Food - 3, service - 3, ambiance - noisy casual…read more We've been here several times in both small and larger groups, weekdays and weekends. We like to support local family run businesses and the food has been good in the past. The wait staff are consistently friendly and mostly competent. We've been pleased that when asked about gluten-free options each time, the waiters know about 90% of the menu off the top of their heads and aren't afraid to say they need to ask the kitchen when there's an item they're not sure about, rather than guess the answer, as has happened at other restaurants. Saturday we had a group of 8 that were seated at 4:45, so not exactly rush hour. We finally had to ask for water after 15 min. It was close to an hour from when we placed our orders before the food began arriving. I had informed the waiter of an onion allergy and requested no onions anywhere on the plate, as well as subbing extra veggies for the pasta. My food arrived with onions throughout the veggies. While I appreciate that they quickly took the plate back to fix it, the new plate had only a single serving of veggies which were so undercooked that even with the steak knife if was difficult to cut, and not great to chew either. I quickly gave up and saved it to finish cooking at home. Another guest ordered the tuna fresh catch rare, and it arrived between medium and medium rare, which was quite disappointing. But at least his veggies were closer to al dente. Another small irritation was that they brought out bread and olive oil, but there were only 5 pieces for our group of 8 so we asked for another one for our end of the table, and they charged us. While we recognized many staff as longtime employees, both the food and the service didn't live up to previous visits, which is even more disappointing because we brought new people to experience their food. Given this experience, it'll probably be awhile before we go back.

The server was super nice and quick with our food and drinks! The restaurant was clean and organized! Not chaotic. The food was good, not the best Mexican food I've had but pretty good! I ordered the pollo flautas and a sangria that was bigger than my head! The beans were a little salty, the chips were a little too well done (extra crunchy). Overall, it was a good experience and I'd definitely come back again and try another dish! Maybe their sushi?? Did I mention they have a couple sushi rolls on the menu?? Can't wait to try those next!

Really enjoyed the service as the employees are kind and attentive when you are ready to order or need anything extra. I ordered the carne asada plate with beans and rice and it was great! Meat was seasoned very well, not too thin and not dried out, which is something I always look out for. My server immediately brought out chips and salsa about 30 seconds after I sat down. Food came out faster than expected, in about 7 minutes after ordering, and with more food than I could put down. Ate a little more than half and took the rest home for breakfast the next morning. Would definitely recommend to any guests in the area if you're looking for fast service and great value.

The rice was a nice side dish and paired perfectly with the taco. I ordered a glass of jimaica agua fresca to wash down my lunch. All were very good and service was great.
