Was on business. Stopped in on a whim. Weekday and the place was packed. I ate at the bar. The bartenders were amazing. I didn't drink alcohol but the meal experience and service were awesome.
Great fresh food
Great environment
Friendly laid back but professional staff
If you live close to this gem, check it out. -

This place has terrible service! Took us over 30 mins to get a cheese dip! Then only 10 mins for our entrees yo come out.. the guy couldn't get our drinks right for anything.. all we ordered was a virgin Bloody Mary and a sweet tea! How do u get 2 waters out of that?! Idk.. maybe it was an off day but after the day I'd had.. I needed this to be a pleasant experience

Is this great mexican food? Nope definitely not, but they do a solid okay on everything.
We ordered the parradilla platter for 2 which came with chicken, beef, shrimp, and chorizo on a hot grill plate. The meal also came with beans, lettuce, tomato, guac, and flour tortillas. The tortillas were nice and hot. The meat was seasoned fairly well and I give them credit for truly giving a good portion (especially for the price). The beans were bland and the lettuce must've just been washed because my plate had a ton of water in it.
They give free chips and salsa. They were okay. The salsa was a bit spicy but lacked good depth of flavor. It was also more watery than I like my salsa to be.
Overall it was an okay experience. I won't rush to come here on my own, but if the grandparents invite us along I won't complain. -

Stopped for dinner on July 13th. The parking lot was full and the place was busy, so I made the mistake of not checking Yelp first - thinking that it was a sign it would be good, or at least passable.
This was by far the absolute WORST excuse for Mexican cuisine I have ever had, and I know quality, authentic, Mexican food.
I have lived extensively in the West and Southwest and enjoyed outstanding, real, Mexican food and this was a waste of money, calories and time. Absolutely nothing was good.
I have no idea why the place was packed, but obviously they were having something other than our standard taco, enchilada and bean dinner, or they have a very different idea of what Mexican food is supposed to be.
Compared to this experience, Taco Bell qualifies as fine, authentic, cuisine! -

What is this place? It's not Mexican food. There's not a single carnita or pork dish on the menu that they just changed to be even more Americanized. I love MX food and eat it way more often than anything else. This place is a total let down. This is our 3rd trip here and our last.
The salsa is JAR and not even a good jar brand.
The service is SLOOOOWWW.
The food is so bland.
The menu prices are the same price as any other MX joint but here it's just not worth it.
My quesadilla came out half off the dish and soaking in juice (I assume from a pre-made chicken & onion pot) AT LEAST USE A SLOTTED SPOON. The bottom of the thing was soggy and gross. The chicken was bland.
My husband had the Roja which was literally just ground beef on a tortilla.
The best part is the lunch prices, if you're not that hungry and want some Mex-American, go for it. Otherwise there's at least 3 other amazing MX places within a 5 mile radius.
