I had the shredded beef tacos the sauce and spices in the meat was delicious! My girlfriend ordered the chicken quesadilla, she thought was good and that what would've made It better is if the chicken was more moist, but that may be a matter of her personal preference. It was so filling that she was only able to eat half of it. You gotta appreciate a good "Mexican full"! I do!! The young lady at the counter was sweet and helpful. The restaurant is spacious and clean and has a good vibe for everyone. I will definitely return next time. I'm in the area.

I had a very disappointing experience this morning at this Taco Bell location in Parker. I placed…read moremy order online before heading back on the road and ended up waiting 45-50 minutes to receive it. While delays can happen, what made the situation worse was the way I was treated by Colby when I asked about my order. Instead of providing an update or showing any concern for the long wait, Colby was rude, dismissive, and disrespectful. As a customer, I understand that fast food places can get busy, but there is no excuse for poor customer service and an unprofessional attitude. After waiting nearly an hour for an order that had already been placed online, and said should have taken 15 minutes... ended up taking 50 minutes and I expected at least a courteous response. Unfortunately, the interaction left me feeling frustrated and unwelcome. Colby had stated that all the drive thru orders were getting taken care of first and then itll be mine since i placed the orders online. I even purposely went inside to pick my order up, instead of the drive thru so that it would be faster... turns out it absolutely wasn't. I hope managements addresses these concerns so that others customers do NOT have a similar experience.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, which was both delicious and flavorful. This eatery is a unique blend of a meat market and dining space, deviating from the traditional Mexican restaurant experience. The service was top-notch and exceptionally friendly, ensuring our return visits as it's conveniently located on our route to and from our lake house. One minor quibble: the American flag in the dining area was hung incorrectly, which caught my attention. On the bright side, I'm eager to return on a Friday night to try their tomahawk steak and will be sure to share a new photo and update then!" read more

First and last time coming here! The waitress was extremely rude when we came in. She was giving us attitude when we were ordering. I ordered a chile verde plate and they gave me a chile relleno plate instead when that's not what i ordered . For one of my kids, i ordered a cheese quesadilla and the cheese was not even melted right! Not to mention the bathroom was very dirty. I don't recommend this place!! read more

You get two small paper trays of thin corn chips; however, you can anoint them with of several different salsas, which were good. The chile rellenos were poblano, one chile per serving. Comes with beans and rice. Both were OK, as was the chili, which was stuffed with a yellow cheese, but tasty. There is a small mountain of sour cream poured in the center of the served tray. Under that, might've been some pico de gallo/lettuce and something, but we weren't sure. It was OK. It was also nearly $16/plate. And so we compared this with many NM and AZ restaurants, and decided, meh. It was OK for the price, nothing amazing. They seem to do a volume of business, and so perhaps our selections weren't the ones the larger audience preferred. We're nonetheless not compelled to go back.

We decided to try the new location and, frankly, after this experience I think we'll be going anywhere else but here from now on. The service was absolutely subpar. Our waitress took our drink order, then our food order, and we basically didn't see her again until we were ready to pay. When she finally came back to check on us, she looked puzzled and asked if everything was okay. Meanwhile, all of us had very full, basically inedible plates sitting in front of us. I told her no, everything was definitely NOT okay. We ordered four entrees and every single one was cold when it arrived. The cheese in my enchilada wasn't even melted. My husband's burrito was cold and the meat was way overcooked. The egg on the enchilada was way underdone. The taco was already soggy and falling apart by the time it got to the table. And absolutely worst of all was the tamale. I'm not kidding when I say it was HARD AS A ROCK. I don't even know how you overcook a tamale that badly, but somehow they managed it. We were starving, so I ate the cold, hard enchilada and that was about it. The rice was overcooked, the beans were cold... honestly, everything about this experience at the new location was just incredibly underwhelming. The margaritas were good, but unfortunately that's about the only positive thing I can say. We paid the bill and left. The waitress offered to comp my meal, and I just shrugged and told her not to bother, but if she wanted to take the rock-hard tamale off the bill, she could. And she did, so kudos for that. But a $150 dinner for subpar service and cold, mostly inedible food is definitely NOT on my "I'll be back" list. I'm really hoping they were just having an off night for everyone else's sake because we have always loved the old location. But this experience was just BAD!
