As I read the reviews I see many who complain about the food not being spicy enough or not very authentic. So first you need to realize that this is true. Just read the sign above the door: Inpired Mex. That says it all. I love authentic Mexican, but I still really like this place and their food. You can ask for hot sauce if you like spicy. I’ve been here a few times and I have found the staff to be friendly. The place is clean and nicely decorated.

Came for drinks and good food. Got both for a reasonable price. We had a drink come back to our dinner table incorrectly, we were quickly given the correct drink plus were offered to keep the wrong one at no charge. Staff are attentive and nice. They work hard to keep the place clean and business moving at a nice pace. I’ve never had to wait long for a table even during the dinner rush.

Waitress was excellent. The food was equivalent to any fast food restaurant but more expensive. My wife had the Cadillac Chimichangas, the tortilla that encased was done very good the cheese covering tasted cheap ,the inside was lacking a seasoned taste. Black beans were excellent. I had the fajita Combo ,Chicken and beef ,beef was very good chicken was slightly drier. Once again it was not seasoned well enough . Portions were very good.

So i wanted to give a good review but cant. Very beautiful place and half of the staff is happy and joyful the other half think there better then you. I food looks great when it comes out but has no flavor to it. Chef Ramsey needs to come in and show them what a real meal taste like.

The food was good but the waitress made an error and gave my friend the wrong meal. However, they did make the correct meal in about 5 minutes after the realized the error. However, we did wait about 30-40 minutes for our “first” meal. They did try to make the situation better by not charging for the meal that was wrong and I was able to take home the “extra meal” which was the incorrect meal for the next day. So we had 3 meals for the cost of one but spent too much time there for our food.

Good food and service. The salsa is great. Their queso is good too. I really like their fajitas and it’s great when they run the promotion for two. The restaurant is fairly clean. It’s divided into a dining room and bar/lounge.

Two friends and I decided to eat here for lunch today and we were all very disappointed. Service was fine, but we barely ate any of the food. I have ate at countless Mexican joints in my time, and this ranks last. The rice and beans seemed like they were packaged, and and all the meat was very dry. On my steak burrito there seems to be only 3 small pieces of steak in it. On top of the food, it was fairly expensive, and I left there losing $18 and a brutal stomach ache. I do not recommend eating here.

Mediocre food, bad service. We received the wrong drinks two times, both our appetizer and meals were lukewarm and it was overpriced for what you receive. Spent $8 on a bowl of queso that had been sitting out so long it had a film over it and was cold. It was not a busy night at all, we counted 4 other tables being served between 3 waitresses. They were also making people wait roughly 15 minutes to be seated despite having plenty of open tables. Will not be going back.

The food here is delicious. My wife and I love it and we go here quite a bit. Very fresh ingredients – she loves the guacamole, and I love the queso (good thing we can get an appetizer that has both!). They have a different drink special each day of the week. They also have really great happy hour specials most days from 3 to 6, as well as “late” happy hours – both apps and drinks are on special. The prices are very affordable too, compared to other similar restaurants in the area. The staff have always been friendly, and the service is typically very quick.

Our server was very friendly. One daughter had the shrimp picada and loved it. The other had a cheeseburger, it looked really good, she thoroughly enjoyed it, as well.
