After seeing us sitting there for quite a while another waitress took our order, only then did our waiter come to take our order. The table across from us, was seated after us, ate their dinner and dessert, paid at the table and left while we sat waiting for our waitress to come with our check, we waited a good 15 minutes when she came and asked if we wanted dessert, mind you she cleared our table 15 minutes prior. I said no we want our check. She went away, came back and tossed in on the table and we waited for her to come back to pay. When she finally came back she said oh your paying with a card, you need to pay up front. There was no apology for all our waiting. I probably won't return because my time is worthy of at least an apology. This is unfortunate, but unless they get their act together they won't last.

I always get five tacos. Usually one pollo (chicken), one asada (steak), one barbacoa( Mexican BBQ), and one pastor(marinated pork) and one carnitas(fried pork). They serve them traditional style with fresh onions and tons of cilantro. You also get a little side with limes, radishes, grilled onions, and half a grilled jalapeño. The red salsa is out of this world, and my wife loves the green salsa. I've only ever had the tacos, because every time I go I just can't force myself to order anything else!
