We were seated immediately as we walked through the door. The atmosphere had an authentic feel about it and laugh if you’d like but the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. That’s always a huge plus no matter where I go. The food was served in a timely manner no longer than a seven minute wait even though we were far from the only people there and the food itself was very tastefully put together. It looked good and tasted just as good. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, but I would recommend it even more to anyone wanting good food on a budget.

We used to eat here often. Good food and would get food in like 5 minutes after order. Now that it is new people and new name it was horrible. The food was still good so I gave 2 stars. But it took longer to get our food than a big busy steakhouse. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Thankfully we were ready to order when they took our drink order. But it took over 45 minutes for our food to come and No refills. And one poor waitress trying to do it all. New management must be aweful

Seven of us ate there Sunday afternoon after a couple of days of backpacking. The service was prompt, friendly, and accurate. The food was good, with both complex flavors and appropriate levels of heat. One person in our group ordered something not on the menu and they prepared it perfectly. I had the carnitas which were very good and served with an excellent sauce on the side. This is not a fancy restaurant, but they are not trying to fill that niche so their prices are good as well. We enjoyed our meal and would eat there again.

Very good service, very friendly. But beans and chicken not so tasty. As with other Mexican restaurants I use to enjoy, they seem to be going with canned everthing. Disappointed.
