    Ordered for the 1st time tonight. First, I wasn't given my change - in fact after I paid the gentleman distracted me and it wasn't until I sat down to wait for my order I realized I never got my change. I went and asked for it and they did give it to me.
    Next, my order was incorrect. Tacos were made incorrect. I ordered the queso fundido with chorizo (paid an extra 4$ for the chorizo) there was barely any in the queso. I feel they were a little over priced compared to other restaurants in the area.

    I will say the food was tasty! A little on the salty size but had good flavor to meat and salsa which is why I gave it 3 stars (otherwise with the initial experience I would have given 1!)

    This review is specifically for their service. We are not first timers on this location at all and yesterday 4/20/19 they completely dropped the ball big time.

    We walked in and more than half of the tables were empty, so my party of 3 we thought that we would be sit down right away, WRONG. The waiter told us that everything was taken (I am like, what????), giving them the benefit of the doubt it was probably because it was Easter weekend and they did not have enough waiters to serve more tables, so ok, we were willing to wait a little bit as my son was getting fuzzy hungry (2 yo) and told the waiter to please open another table, she refused.

    10 minutes in waiting, a party of 3 (same as us) walks in and gets sit right away! I am baffled as I was told several times that there was no tables available and that I had to wait. I asked the waiter what was that about??? She said another table would be ready soon....that is not the point! She kept insisting on to wait for a table, but we just decided to walk out of there.

    Why was the lie about? What for? Why the other party was sat before us? After all we were in first, the same party size and they had no reservation (as they don't do that). If you don't want to serve then close the restaurant.

    Really disappointed for their attitude and lack of service after years of giving them our business. Completely unacceptable and unjustified what they did.

    Business was not booming considering the Mexican independence day. Very boring decorations. Food was ghastly, and the presentation of my meal was not interesting.

    Worse Mexican food I have ever! My husband went to try this place and it was soooo bad. He had the taco dinner and I had the torts dinner, both of them asada. Man where do I start.

    The rice was so yucky, watery and tasted old. The beans were spicy and tasted old. The bread on my torta was stale, the meat had no flavor. The tacos were just pointless, the torta was cold. I don't know if they're just lazy or don't even want to try. The costumer service was ok not great, they looked tired like they didn't wanted to be there.

    Will never be coming back here. Nasty food omg

    As soon as I walked in I instantly knew it was a mistake walking in, all the servers are in a bad mood except a younger teenage girl that served us water and tortilla chips. The shrimp and squid cocktail was not worth $15.95. The shrimp was so bland. Portion was small in comparison to other local restaurants but one thing that they got right was the de-veining of the shrimp. I think I would come back to try the drinks and drinks only. I wouldn't have minded the food that much if the service was better.
