Just walked away from our table in the middle of taking our order because we were asking questions about the food. We ended up getting a chicken quesadilla and some chicken tacos to share before heading to another restaurant. The food was decent. I order the small cheese which was not very good. Very thick, not hot, warm at best. Got a mango margarita with a sugar rum which I had to remind my waiter about 2x and when it came out it was very thick I would say more purée in it than anything and if you wanted alcohol in it I recommend ordering a shot on the side and mixing yourself.

This one of the few restaurants that is open past 9pm during the weeknight. We original went to another restaurant but it was a poop show so we left. The service was not bad and not great either; just average. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it had a ton of meat. It was really quite good. (Minus the tomatoes and guacamole (it had tomatoes) I ordered sliced avocado and when it was brought out it was rotten. The waitress was nice and took it off our bill. My family said the salsas was good and so was the queso dip. Everyone seemed enjoyed their dinner. We would come here again.

Chips and salsa hit the spot, and the food is good, just not particularly distinctive. The menu is huge, with the kind of "big operation" feel where dishes are clearly designed to move quickly rather than showcase anything unique. Parking is the same story it's always been: not nearly enough of it. Most people end up in the Academy lot next door, and it's been the unofficial overflow for as long as anyone can remember. Hopefully Academy keeps looking the other way. A perfectly acceptable Seawall stop, but nothing that pushes it past a solid three stars.

Be sure to ask for the off-menu specials like the coconut milk seafood soup. I like the chips but I'm not a big fan of the salsa. Tasted dull and overcooked to me. The coconut seafood soup was a hit with my party although it was a bit fishy for my taste. The garlic shrimp was quite good and the Viagra cocktail was very good and fresh tasting but the tomato dressing was too sweet for us. Overall this is a solid restaurant. I would recommend it for a decent meal at a reasonable price.

I've been here twice. The first time, we placed a to-go order, and they forgot the tortillas we…read moreordered. Since we were already home, we just had to make do without them. The second visit was dine-in. The service was friendly, but the biggest issue was that our waitress took everyone's order, brought out all of the food except one person's, and then came back about four minutes later to tell us they were out of sopapillas. Why did they wait so long to tell us? They didn't have a similar substitute to offer, and since that guest doesn't eat eggs (which are included in nearly every breakfast item), there really wasn't anything else on the menu they could order. The menu is fairly limited overall. On the positive side, the prices are reasonable, it never seems overly crowded, and the food is decent. It just wasn't memorable enough to make me want to go out of my way to return.

My favorite were the ribs. Cooked perfectly. Tender but not falling off the bone. Well trimmed. Great flavor. Basted lightly in a bbq sauce. The brisket was good and appears to be their most popular item (they run out frequently). But I've had other brisket that I like better. I like their bbq sauce and they gave an ample portion on the side. It's a small place and there is no eating inside although they have outdoor seating. It's counter service. And a big plus is you watch them carve and weigh your meat while the person at register keys in exactly what you owe. Process was friendly and expedient. I've been here a couple of times before and will definitely be back.
