    Terrible. Over priced, flavorless, and too long of a wait. Waiter charged her tip of $10 like if it was mandatory? If you are looking for a bite I definitely do not recommend this place. You will spend over $60 for 2 people. Even taco bell sounds like a better option. Flavorless Soup.

    This place is huge and spacious inside, I have not been here at night but they have a stage, speakers and lights everywhere so I assume on the weekend nights they bump this place up, We stood in the entryway for a while as they were short on staff but once we got seated one waiter was running around busy and serving all the tables himself finally we got service and this guy was really good getting to all tables until two waitresses came in to help. Food was great timing was great as this waiter was literally running around to serve. One table whistled which I thought was rude as I saw the waiter there just moments before but the waiter ran up and appeased the guy for heads needs surprisingly the waiter smiled and calm as if he was not even offended. After we finished the waiter came to pick up the plates and I was so impressed I asked for his manager..... turns out he Ricardo was the owner!!!!! Apparently some called out and he pick up the pace like a champ! Ricardo also chefs when he can. I’ve been here several times but now I am proud to come eat here and support this guys business, he is an owner that cares about his business enough to do whatever it takes to make customers happy!! Great job Ricardo!

    I like this place there was a man performing singing and dancing. He was going around the sitting area singing to the guests and dancing. The man performing made the vibe for the guests to have fun and enjoy their nights. The drinks that I order were good. The food was okay it couldn’t been better but it wasn’t bad. The prices are very cheap.

    Went here for the first time in a long while. Had breakfast, and the menu for that was limited. Only 3 items are offered. Strong smell of cleaning products, not appetizing when trying to eat. This building was originally Chevy's. The booths are gone, and it's your typical ,run down looking Mexican restaurant. Unfortunately. I don't understand, when I was growing up, when you went to a Mexican restaurant, one would listen to like music, Italian restaurant, Italian music, Chinese restaurant Asian music. Now you get someone at another table 🙄 playing their own too loud. Won't be back sad to say.

    I visited this restaurant last month and I wouldn’t recommend eating here to anyone. They don’t seem to be very clean, I saw a cockroach near the bar side tables and I wouldn’t doubt they have more. I just about ran out once I saw that roach. I am definitely never going back.

    Went here to celebrate my FIL birthday and totally regret it. They are deceitful and lie to your face. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! They tired to bring cheap tequila when FIL ordered top shelf. Had an extra Cadillac margarita charged on the bill that was not taken off even after bringing it to their attention. Also tried to charge an extra shot of tequila for each margarita when we never ordered it. They forgot to put in the order for half our food.

    These pictures speak for themselves! Great ambiance, family friendly and late at night they have music 🎶. The drinks are definitely the best part!

    The waitresses clearly did not want to help me and my fiancee, from the moment we walked in nobody wanted to seat us and when we finally made eye contact with the waitress enough times she begrudgingly walked over to the front and got us a table. It was not busy or crowded but she walked over to the closest table tossed down the menus then walked away all before we even got to the table to sit down. Then all night we were ignored not one refill was offered or even extra napkins we shared one napkin more than half the night we were there! I know we were being ignored because the other two tables around us had the waitresses there every 5-10 min. The food was great though.

    I never heard of a restaurant charging you a $20 entry fee. Not sure if that’s against the law does anybody know? Please let me know.

    For the price they charge service should be house drinks should be perfect taste excellent extremely disappointing Don’t go here beware!!! I never complain $123.00 Kids chicken nuggets fajitas and 2 margaritas. Don’t second guess yourself. Someone needs to come in and take control. This is ridiculous.

  • 5/5 F. G. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I have here several times. We always enjoy what we order. It's a very big restaurant, but it's always empty. I asked the waitress if they had music, as we saw instruments and a stage. She said they do have different groups that play. The cover chares varies depending on the group that's playing.

    (Translated by Google) They brought the wrong dishes 3 times ... The taste was really not good. And the very salty and fatty buttered rolls. (Original) Trajeron los platillos incorrectos 3 veces... El sabor la verdad no estaba bueno. Y los bolillos con mantequilla muy salados y grasos.

  • 5/5 Jose P. M. 3 years ago on Google
    Real flavorful meals, best hand made tortillas, lots of seafood dishes, a large outdoor dining area, recommended place.

  • 2/5 Wendy Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't like their food (tasteless) and pricey. Restrooms are dirty and not working.

  • 1/5 Eddie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service, disgusting food that had no flavor and was cold. The waitress was rude and condescending. There was a cockroach crawling on my cousins arm. Our family spent a lot of money(And traveled as far as Germany) to be treated like trash. Will not EVER go back to this establishment. The only good thing was the mints when you leave. My son just added that he almost fell in the bathroom because it was full of water and trash on the floor smh.

  • 4/5 Adriana G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great environment friendly staff great service. The food is not the best I've had better tasting food from a catering truck. Not to say that it's not a good place to drink it up with your friends I guess you have to be buzz to like the food.

  • 5/5 Michael D. 2 years ago on Google
    I think they have new owners because the food we just ate was amazing. This will be our new date spot. All the staff was friendly and kept asking if everything was good when we were leaving.

  • 1/5 Kiyotzi E. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible disgusting food. Ate dinner here w my family and totally regret it. The tacos al pastor were chorizo and served w no cilantro onions or tomato or lettuce. I ordered shrimp empanadas and asked for no chile chipotle and they made them w chile Chipotle. My husband ordered barbacoa and it was disgusting. It tasted like mole w achiote. My daughter ordered a sangria prepared and they brought her a plain bottle of sangria. I walked out paying almost a hundred dollars for disgusting service and worse food. I will never eat here again.

    This restaurant prepares one of the most enjoyable Seafood Soup that I've ever tasted. Their homemade corn tortillas are awesome and their Liquid Culinary delights are wonderful...I so enjoyed Halloween evening with them...

  • 5/5 Walker L. 3 years ago on Google
    I eat in this lovely spot a lot! This is my favorite spot to eat. I go to this spot routinely. The food is excellent, the staff is polite and the price is good. I like being in this place for a tasty dinner.

  • 1/5 Juanita V. 3 years ago on Google
    I was disappointed in the food. I went there because I wanted some Menudo I got there around 11 in the morning and Menudo was not ready. I don't think they were prepared to serve anybody the lady waitress was taking a long time. I went all the way from Los Banos to Salinas just to get some good Menudo and I was disappointed. So I ended up going to el michoacano

  • 5/5 gustavo c. 4 years ago on Google
    So we can here from a recommendation from a friend. Never been here. And to our surprise it was very good experience food was delicious our server was very nice and very good on rechecking on us. The only knock I have was the first server or maybe the host idk but she sat us and asked us what we wanted to drink but she just left before getting our drink order. Other than that everything was perfect thank you

  • 3/5 Cosmetic B. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was good but some things were just way too salty and other foods did not have salt at all overall the food was pretty mediocre I feel like you can find better places around here

  • 3/5 Belinda C. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was okay, service was not.... They did make the effort to make the outdoor dining inviting with music & lights. We will probably not go again.

    Waitress did not wear a mask, when I asked her why, she began arguing with me. She was rude, unwelcoming and just ruined our experience.

    inconsistent service, the food is good sometimes but most of the time it's not. I ordered a platillo de camarones empanizados and only got 4 shrimp but a lot of beans and rice and it was $18, that's another thing it's expensive

    I just have one SERIOUS question! IF YOU GET 5 OR MORE PLATES DO YOU HAVE TO GET CHARGED WITH 15% OF SERVICE GRATUITY!? Today I went with my family for my dads birthday and as you can imagine a family is more than 2 people. I got more than 5 plates and when I got my check I was being charged for 15% SERVICE GRATUITY! Although I didn’t VOLUNTARY TIP the guy! If you don’t get charged for that for getting 5 or more plates please say something because it’s not okay if workers want to tip themselves without even asking for our permission!
