The dining room did look like it could use a bit of a refresh in places, but it wasn't anything that took away from our meal. We started with the cheese dip, which had a nice consistency but was a little lacking in flavor. The chips were on the thicker side and tasted a bit stale. I also ordered a horchata, which unfortunately was disappointing. It was very watery and didn't have the rich, creamy flavor I was expecting. For my main dish, I had the choripollo, and I really enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked well, and the combination of flavors was delicious. I just wish it had a little more spice. My husband wasn't a fan of his meal, although he's a pretty picky eater, so your experience may be different. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made for a pleasant dining experience. While there were a few things that could be improved, I still enjoyed my meal overall and would consider coming back to try some other menu items.

My Hidden Gem in E-Ville…read more This spot is hands down the best place for non-traditional tacos I've ever had. Everything is packed with flavor and just pure comfort food. My all-time favorites are the steak tacos and the crispy fish tacos. The steak is perfectly marinated, and the crispy fish is always served hot and crunchy with an amazing coconut curry twist. The flavors are so unique but always hit the spot. Super friendly and welcoming staff!

The food quality is always consistent, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly. This time, I felt for our server, as he was running constantly didn't seem to have much down time. Our Mom sent her steak back, as it was a little overcooked, so she couldn't chew it easily with her dentures. The new steak came out right away and was perfect. When I was paying the bill, our server was chatting with my sister, he seemed genuinely delighted that she spoke Spanish, and thanked her multiple times for being so kind when she sent the steak back (gotta wonder how other people treat him when sending something back). Mom got a steak, and asked for fries instead of rice and beans, which they accommodated no problem, as well as a small margarita, as she really enjoys them there. Sister got a taco salad with chicken. I got a taco salad with ground beef and Dos Equis Amber. My older son got fajitas. My younger son got a cheese quesadilla. Everything was good. And we went in a little early to beat the dinner rush. The place was packed by the time we left.

Very Disappointing Experience…read more The food was honestly nasty. We ordered the grilled fajitas for two with beef and chicken, expecting a good amount of meat. Instead, the plate came with more chorizo than actual beef and chicken. Unfortunately, the chorizo was disgusting and had a terrible taste. For the price, we expected much better quality and a proper portion of beef and chicken. Definitely not an experience we would want to repeat. Very disappointing.

We are always greeted by someone quickly and service is always outstanding! I'm obsessed with their super tacos but that's because I prefer a flour Shell. If you like a corn shell better stick with the regular size. I didn't get one this trip but their mini pulled pork sandwiches are also a great choice! Prices are reasonable and whatever they do to their soda it's the perfect mix With the "sonic" ice!

The good thing is since you can create your own creation, you can also customize your food to be vegan or dairy-free etc. Service was quick.

But I'm afraid my brisket sandwich did not live up to my memory. The good news is that the twister fries were excellent though not as hot as they should've been.

I still enjoyed it. But I didn't quite finish it and it's very unusual. They deserve another try and I will be back.

I ranked it a 3 because the table was kind of dirty upon seating and my step child and I saw men just using the ladies restroom.
