This was our first trip. But we'll definitely be back. Drinks were great. Chips were warm and great crunch. The salsa had substance and was very tasty!!!! Our entrees were all delicious! Hubs was licking his fingers clean after eating all his birra tacos. Even my picky kid ate all his tacos!! We'll be back. I believe they also do spirit nights for our local schools. We'll be at the next one for sure!! No pics but we ate most everything!!!! read more

Never again. Check out the roaches wandering the open dining room. Told manager and he just shook his head, and walked away. read more

My experience here on 7-10-25 was just okay--definitely not the worst, but not somewhere I'd be in a hurry to return to. We arrived around 2:30 PM to take advantage of the lunch specials, but it took a minute for our server to even come to the table. By the time she got to us, it was just past 2:30, and we were told we'd have to pay an extra dollar to order off the lunch menu. That was disappointing because we were already seated before the cutoff--just hadn't been helped yet. I ordered the Fajita Trio and a Blue Raspberry Margarita. The margarita was tasty and definitely had me feeling good before my entrée came out. My food was good, no real complaints there. My spouse's experience was not as smooth. He has a cheese allergy and asked for no cheese sauce on the El Volcán. expected. The green bell pepper wasn't fried as requested. When the food arrived, it still didn't look appealing to him, and he decided he didn't want it. He didn't eat any of it, just examined the dish, but when we asked to switch, the waitress made it seem like it would be an issue--almost like the request to remove the cheese was the reason they didn't want to take it back. She told us she had to go ask the cook or whoever was in the back before deciding if the switch could happen, which felt unnecessary given that the plate wasn't touched. In the end, they let him switch. He asked to replace it with the lunch special burrito, and to just reuse the same steak from the previous dish to avoid making a big deal. He said the burrito was fine, but next time he knows not to get the red tomato sauce on top because it made the burrito messy and hard to pick up. The guy at the front was nice and professional, but the waitstaff service was uneven. Our original waitress didn't even finish serving us because she went on break in the middle of our meal--which I found strange. In my opinion, good customer service means seeing your table through before stepping away. Thankfully, our second waitress (a lady in a red shirt with a ponytail) was very friendly and attentive. I really wish we had her from the beginning. read more

If I could give this restaurant a negative number I would. I will NEVER go to this place again. I went in with my husband approx. 2 weeks ago. We sat at the bar for a margarita and a couple of appetizers. There were cockroaches on the bar. There were 3 under a menu that was on the bar. Roaches are common in restaurants but they are managed. This places roach problem was far from managed and appeared like they had a more serious problem. An infestation! If they are on a bar like that it wouldn't surprise me if they were in the food. read more

Things have changed here since the last time we ate here back in the Summer. I'm not sure if it was because it was a MONDAY night or if they are short staffed or because Monday night is server training night. It was a slow night...maybe about 4 tables being served. There were two servers but they both worked our table. There was no settings at our table. We started getting our order but they never brought the silverware and didn't return until our food was less than hot. (They both disappeared so we couldn't "wave" them down to get their attention). Not until they arrived with food for another table, were we able to ask for silverware. My tortilla soup was served last and was hot and delicious. However, the chili relleno had no batter whatsoever and was simply a pepper split open and laid on top of a slice of white American processed cheese with a small amount of sauce on top. That was the first time I had a "naked" chili relleno. My friend had the shrimp fajitas, which for $19.99, did not meet the standard I'm used to here. There was only ONE SLICE of tomato which has always been CHOPPED (until tonight); 8 very small shrimp with a small amount of sour cream, guacamole and refried beans. (had to ask for more sour cream). He isn't a big eater, but he was able to finish all of it and still had room for more chips and salsa. We left wondering if we should ever return or if we should come back on a different night as it seemed like the servers didn't know a lot about serving and the kitchen was not sending out the type of food we are used to getting there. read more

Please stay away! I found a bloody band aid in my food Saturday night! The most disturbing and disgusting thing I've ever seen in a rest. My doctor wants to see me and i have to have blood testing done. All the manager could say (he was not there - 40 minutes away) was that i wasnt going to be charged! The wait staff was very apologetic (and grossed out when i showed them). There's a cook in the kitchen that has a bad cut and no gloves on preparing meals and no supervision in the restaurant. Several other people were more than likely exposed. I have a photo but i wont post it. It's on google reviews. read more

Arrived at our favorite Mexican food near by restaurant w a management greeting us with a bill! Saying we dodged paying bill last time in! I said NO we had a bill went to pay it! He said no way u could pay! Here is your bill from 3 wks ago?? My husband pulled up check acct showing we paid!! After he said we did not! Pay apparently the waiter gave us someone else's bill! We paid! Thank goodness we had proof read more

Consistently good Mexican food, no complaints! We typically do call out orders and it's quick and fresh.

This restaurant started out being good, but now most of the servers they have are not worth a flip! Went there Friday night and my drink ran dry three times. My daughter's drink wet dry once. Took forever to get the first round of drinks. Some of the servers are on the money. I guess I'm going to have to request who I want when I go back because the one we got Friday needs to find another career. She's terrible! I think that's the only time I've ever left a one dollar tip. read more

We have enjoyed this restaurant on many occasions. The food was good and the atmosphere is nice. The waiter was good every time we have been there, last time they forgot my tortillas but soon brought them out soon as they noticed. read more

Mexican mariachi music plays thought the restaurant. Fresh chips and salsa to start were good. Server had a great recommendation, Little Mexico. A great sampler of a taco, ,taquito (chicken was amazing), enchilada, sample special nachos. The food was hot and plentiful. Staff was attentive to the table without being overly checking in. My husband ordered the Big Burrito and it was full of shredded chicken (nos scrimping here), rice and beans. Definitely check this place out. read more

Friendly service, a large variety of food,room for groups, warm complimentary tortilla chips, nice authentic music in the background, clean restrooms. What's not to like. I had the big burrito which was a wet burrito with tasty white meet chicken, beans, rice, and yes it was big! About a foot long and very filling. Our server (Stephanie) was attentive, helpful and wore a smile like she meant it! Thank you Stephanie. Our first visit was better than expected. read more

Delicious food, great service so far (dine in once and to go once) Great for kids. (We have a 2 year old with ASD and the waitress was patient with her) My husband recommends the margarita! read more

Food was good. But the service was extremely slow. We set down and it took 15min to get our drink order placed. Then 15min to order food. Then another 15-20 to get our food. Then 15min to get our check to pay. No refills the entire time on chips or drink. So don't come here if you only have an hour lunch... as a note. There was only 1 other table in the entire restaurant.... read more

I absolutely hate to leave a bad review but our food was awful. Our server was lovely and my margarita was good but the food was barely edible and super overpriced for the quality. We ended up not even finishing our meals because our meat was hard and tasted like it has been heated up in the microwave. read more

Food is good, not huge portions. We also like sitting at the bar for dinner, get to know the the bartender and learn about new things. Unfortunately whoever comes into the bar when you come in is your bartender. The shrimp street tacos are amazing. I would have maybe had a little cilantro lime cream on them for a lil more flavor, that's just me though, would have them again. read more

Just terrible all around. The soccer game was on so it was like pulling teeth to get any of the waitresses to serve us. Beans and rice were ice cold, the "homemade" tamale was worse than something you could find sitting in the bottom of a New York dumpster and the Chile verde was the worse I've ever had. The bill was way off, charges for food we never ordered, and after a polite complaint to return the Chile verde, they offered us 10% off on that dish. Ya, we were given a 95 cent discount for all our troubles. We've tried this place a few times hoping it would get better because it is fairly new, but tonight was the final straw. Adios! read more

This was my first trip there, and it certainly won't be my last. I had the best pollo con creama that I've ever had. Their menu is extensive, the wait staff were prompt and attentive, and our wait for our food was minimal! I highly recommend this place! read more

Typical Mexican fare in a refurbished old Sagebrush location. Seemed like they just opened up; we visited during off hours mid day on a Monday. The staff were extra friendly with frequent albeit not perfectly coordinated service. The menus looked familiar, perhaps what's become a standard Mexican-American menu template. We ordered a bunch of stuff, from burritos to fish tacos. Everything came out tasting good and hot. The teens at our table ranked the seafood tacos and chimichangas top of class! Drinks were kept full, and beer was ice cold in a nice frosty glass. The folks serving seemed genuinely happy to have us as customers, always a nice feeling. We will visit again. read more

Terrible service. It took forever to bring our chips, so our queso was cold by the time we got them. When we got the food they forgot my rice and we asked for it again and they brought beans. Food wasn't terrible. read more

All of the Mexican restaurants in the area seem to have the same menu, which is pretty good. Lots of options and the flavors are good as well. Healthy portions... You would figure this standalone location would be the best of them. However, the service is horrible. Not pandemic bad either, just bad. Every time we've been here we've had to ask for assistance after they seat us. read more

So this two rating is because of the horchata which probably the only thing I enjoyed out of my order. We ordered enchiladas (ground beef and chicken), rice and beans for my kids, and Chile relleno dish which came with beans and rice. The beans and rice were dry, my Chile relleno was absolutely no flavor. I've never had them like that. (No batter on them) and the tacos were dry as well. The whole order lacked any type of Mexican flavor. Everything was VERY bland. read more

I ordered the steak super burrito for pick up. The steak was over cooked minuscule pellets that tasted more like plastic than beef. I requested no beans so the kitchen decided to not include beans or rice. The dish was ice cold when I got home even though I live ten minutes from the restaurant. I will not patronize this business in the future. read more

Went there May 5th, party of 14. Called Wednesday for reservation and took our reservation for Friday, when we arrived they told us they don't take reservations. We were seated 30 minutes later at different tables. They sat us but never waited on us for another 30 minutes. Had to beg for a someone to take our order. Finally got food 45 minutes later. One member never got her meal. Then had to wait for our bill forever. They told us to go to the front and tell them what we ate and they would ring it up....no bill. Never been to a place so miss managed in my life. Will NEVER set foot in this place again. Run away...Terrible service...3 hours wasted on a meal equal to taco bell. read more

The menu choices are amazing! Very friendly staff. Food was delicious. I had the Little Mexico, which was anything but little. I'm stuffed and happy!! read more

Location in Sherrills Ford on old 16 (the Sagebrush Restaurant). Went last night to try this place and have our first time in a real restaurant in a year. My wife and I were not impressed. The staff worked hard but were not attentive. Maybe they were overwhelmed with the number of people. It took a long time to get water and then longer to order. My wife's Steak Fajitas came but not my Steak Chapala. She was ten minutes into her food before mine arrived. My steak was a pitiful piece of beef. Quarter of an inch thick with loads of fat and gristle. Taste? Ok when I searched for edible but chewy bites. My wife's fajitas looked good. She said the bits of meat were tough with gristle. She described the meat portion size similar to popcorn shrimp. A positive was handling of COVID protocols. Seating was spread out and the staff wore masks at all times (thank you). read more

My wife and I went it was the worst Mexican food I've had TacoBell is better not saying much . The waitress set down at a other table and shot the breeze with them for a bit .at the end of dinner we waited and waited I sed to my wife let's go [she cough up to us at the chash out] ...If I could give it less than 1 I would read more

This is honestly one of the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in a while the food is great and menu is amazing, the staff are friendly and under good management, hopefully this one stays for good!!! read more

Honestly amazed at how terrible the service was. Mexican food should not take an hour, but I was willing to make an exception. Two of my six person party were served their food (after an hour). 15 minutes later I flagged down an employee about our food. She rolled her eyes and stated that the kitchen was behind. Food service rule #6: don't serve food unless you can serve the entire party. After an extra 15 minutes, two more parties were fed. The last two of our party were not served their food until 45 minutes after the initial plate. It was brought to our servers attention and numerous other employees and none seemed to have any customer service skills. I have been to Jimadors 3 times before, sitting at a different section of the restaurant and received better service. Unfortunately our party (who had never eaten here before) now have a bad taste in their mouth and will not be returning. Honestly I'm not sure I will either. Where was the manager? Or a mature adult? read more
