    Our experience was 3 1/2 stars. Food wise it was probably closer to 3 stars for me and 4 stars for…read moremy husband. I decided to round up because I thought they did a pretty good job with the hand they were dealt. We called in an order for pick up Saturday at lunch time. When we arrived 15 minutes later to pick up there was a little trouble with their card machine that nobody knew how to fix. I heard two employees discussing that they didn't even have a phone number to call for the machine in question. Luckily they got another register to work. On that note I believe they also said there was a small discount for paying with cash instead of card. I had only walked in with my phone and card, but wouldn't have had a problem going back to the hotel to get some cash if they couldn't figure it out. Turns out their manager had quit on Wednesday and there wasn't an assistant manager or anyone else trained on fixing system issues. Considering they were probably making adjustments on schedules and tasks as they went, without any guidance from a manager, I think they did a pretty great job! The phone etiquette and in person etiquette was on point. I found the food okay, but again, I think they were doing a great job dealing with an unusual situation for a restaurant. The chips were a tad stale and I found the salsa and queso to be a bit watery for my taste. The flavor of both was fine, nothing too special but fit the bill. Overall my torta was okay, I wasn't a fan of the frequent chunks of stringy and fatty meat throughout the beef fajita they used, but that won't bother everyone. The veggies were fresh and the bread was passable. I would order something different next time. My husbands enchilada special was the clear winner. They accommodated him getting one beef, one chicken and one guacamole enchilada instead of 3 of the same. He got it with queso on the side and felt everything was high quality. I had a few bites of his meal (wife tax) and I would have to agree. The beef was well seasoned and clear of any grit, the rice was well cooked and the beans were pretty good. He didn't save any of the guacamole enchilada for me to try (just selfish) but the avocado on my torta was extremely good so I think I know why that was the first enchilada to disappear. Sometimes you just order the wrong item for your taste and sometimes a restaurant is having an off day. Based off my husbands meal and the friendly staff I would definitely return and try other items on the menu. You may need to exhibit patience since they are clearly in a transition period; nobody really knows how long that will take until they fill the gaps and establish their team dynamic.

    Bottom line is the service. Food is good but waiting like we were in Rome for a 2 hour dinner…read moreservice is just not ok. Watched 2 families just leave. Our waiter made multiple mistakes and just never returned towards the end. Will probably be awhile until I go back.

    An unexpected gem in the rough…read more Look, I love hole in the walls, and yes... there are places I judge solely on the "look" of places, but even I know you can't judge a book by its cover. I found myself in Gainesville... not a place I typically go on a daily basis. I needed to grab a bite, I needed to do it quickly, and fast food was just not going to work for me... Driving around I passed this place 2x times before finally giving up and saying to myself... "ugh... ok let's try it". Glad I did. They welcomed me in as if I was a regular there, someone that they see all the time. Not special in the slightest but also not a stranger in the least bit. It was comforting... homely... nice. The nice waitress provided me a menu, asked if I wanted a drink and brought over a basket of chips and salsa, both fresh and delicious. Found my way to the enchiladas and crossed my fingers. Within a few chips and minutes my plate arrived. Decently portioned and hot. Initial thoughts were "man, I'm hungry" and "that came quick!". It did not disappoint. Have I had better? You bet I have... was this good? Well... I finished it without complaint. Decent food, clean and welcoming, good price and a place anyone would be proud to say "I go to Mi Casa for Mexican food". Try'em... you may just be surprised.

We will dine in at the restaurant and possibly use a different company if we need delivery. We have always had good food and service in this restaurant. The atmosphere is great. Quick service and the margaritas are fantastic. On the other hand the DoorDash people they used last Saturday 6/11/26 delivered our food. Fajitas for 4 due to the fact we had company and were too busy to get it ourselves. $104 dollars worth. I met the driver at the gate and he got out of his car and dropped it. We were able to save the rice and beans but the meat which is the main part of the fajitas for 4 was in the gravel. The driver said not my problem. Then the driver tried to leave without picking any of the trash up. This review is about DoorDash. We called several times since then and they said they would refund us but never have. Be Leary of which company you use to deliver your food. I understand that the restaurant did their job preparing it but the DoorDash people are responsible for safe and accurate delivery.

Ordered the mixed fajita plate, meat was not freshly prepare, it came out way too fast, tortillas must have been from yesterday, very dry around the edges. Picture shows that the plate had 1/3 tomatoes (cheap filler food) and a lot of small chx and beef pieces. No refill on the salsa and the waiter never asked if food was ok. Way overpriced as well, I get much better quality at Uncle Julio in PP or Mazatlan in Denton.

Over the holidays we stopped in for our usual Brisket Fajitas & they were freakin incredible. In fact, the whole dinner was freakin amazeballs. The Chef made us some top shelf Margaritas with Grand Marnier. That's the way we make them. We added a shot of don julio and a fresh lime & they were Superb. OuiOui :)... The Brisket Fajitas are where it's at here. I have never had any other Brisket Fajitas better. These are the best ones we have ever had. I posted a video so you can see how charred they are on the edges but so so tender & juicy on the inside & seasoned beautifully. Superb. Winners Circle all the way Jose haha.
