Our server seemed like he was in outer space the whole time we were there. We asked for a booth and he said ok then tried to seat us at a table. He then took our drink order and gave us the wrong drinks. When the dip came to the table it was supposed to have meat in it, it didn’t. We asked for some meat to put in it and we got about 2 table spoons of meat to add to the dip. I ordered a 3 taco dinner and only got 2 tacos. There was very little meat on my tacos as well, less than a spoon full. The other person’s food was very good mine was horrible. The restaurant was not busy at all when we were there so it cannot be blamed on that. I would visit this place again but I hope that the next time would be much better.

My salad was delicious. The chicken is seasoned and cooked well, the dressing was tasty, and the quesadillas were crispy.

Not the most lively or delicious Mexican food I’ve had. The server was great and polite but the enchiladas we got were pretty plain. The restaurant itself was also almost empty on a Thursday night at 630pm. It was an okay spot for Mexican but the overall experience could be better.

The food was really good and so was the service! We didn’t have a wait, and they were quick to get the food out. Our waiter did a great job of checking in with us.

When we arrived we were seated in the only clean booth. It didn’t look busy and there were 4 staff sitting at another table folding napkins on silverware. Our food arrived really fast after ordering. We were told to be careful with the plates because they would be hot. The waiter picked up one side of the plate with a napkin and the other side with his bare hand. My food was cold and my girlfriend’s food tasted like the meat had spoiled. The rice tasted like the most budget box rice from the dollar store, her cheese dip tasted like it came from a can, the burritos were tiny, and not something I would consider burritos. The waiter came by and asked if everything was okay. When I told him “no actually” he said “Oh, do you need boxes?” He then dropped off the bill. I waited for longer than reasonable for him to return when another waiter asked if he could help. I told him that I would like to pay for the food I had eaten but not the food my girlfriend had ordered. (I ate the cold food because I was really hungry.) He got the manager and he agreed to this but before he agreed the server already had the new bill there. The manager didn’t seem to care about it. Atmosphere was poor. We left and got better food at Casey’s. I highly recommend Casey’s Italian wrap over anything here. The Casey’s chicken salad was also pretty good.

The steak fajita nachos tasted like the steak had just come off the grill. They were delicious. And it was an ample serving. I had regular tacos because that’s my go-to for the first time everywhere and they were good also. But I wish I had opted for the steak fajita nachos

Stopped in here on my way through town very busy place that locals seemed to realy enjoy. Very different from the Mexican restaurant I’m used to the food had more of a fast food vibe with a fancy sit down sauce added. Was kinda pricey for what I was served. And they seemed to close very early like 8pm which seemed odd for a sit down restraunt.

Robert Purgason
The food was decent, I had enchiladas. However, the atmosphere is odd. It’s very nice, but to me it doesn’t feel Mexican. It sort of creates a disconnect with the food. It made me doubt the food. My server was very nice and attentive. I would only bring someone here to see if they felt weird too, if that makes sense.
