    If I could give this place a ZERO we would!! Absolutely HORRIBLE experience!! Our order for 3 adults was placed prior to others being seated. We received our orders AFTER other patrons arrived AFTER US. All of our orders was COLD once received. The restaurant wasn't any where near busy. It was a Sunday night at 10:07 pm and they close at 11pm. We requested a manager. The manager came to the table which also happened to be the person who delivered the cold entrees. We informed Fern (the Manager) about our issues with the food and he said he can take it back and "reheat it". We didn't go to that restaurant to wait 30 mins plus for cold entrées. He did not apologize, nor make any accommodations for the inconvenience. Who wants reheated food. He eem appeared delighted or happy with our issues with his sarcasm and grin. We felt dismissed and the situation escalated. We will NOT be returning to that resturant!! Pictured are the dishes that arrived cold.

    Great service and pretty good food but the steak in my burrito was extremely greasy. Like to the point it ruined the tortilla. I could see trying other meals here but I won't be in this town much longer. They really need fried ice cream too. The chips are like half of a taco shell they're so big.

    The atmosphere and my waitress was great. The food came quick and the waitress never let our drinks run low. The reason for the 3 star is the food. See the pics attached. The chili renano I ordered was the smallest I had ever seen. Not a big deal as the rest of the plate was plenty of food. This was a basic cheese filled pepper. The first one was delivered and the cheese was melted inside so I asked our waitress to see about another one. She put the order in and another was delivered pretty quickly. The second one was almost burnt on the outside but again the inside wasn't melted. I didn't ask for a comp since I ate half of each one so I felt I got a full one.

    It has been years since I've had dinner here. Since we were in town and in the area we decided to give it another try. We were all thoroughly impressed. We orded Birria Tacos which was phenomenal they even seasoned the tortilla shell, barbacoa enchilada plate, and tamales. Shrimp as an appetizer.

    Ok food, happy hour prices made it better, but definitely not going to be a go to place for Tex-Mex. Best thing we had was the chips & salsa with queso & guac.

    Dined at this location on Sunday, this place was filthy in my view. Very strong odor near the restroom area, floors were littered with food, fluids and who knows what.. Observed the table cleaning crew , clearing the tables and letting the food particles fall directly on floor. Which customers had to walk through to get seated.. More cons than pros on this experience. Will not Dine at this location again!

    Ordered through doordash! What a waste of money! The food was trash. No consume on quesa birria. And the tacos wasnt cooked right. The chicken quesadilla is undercooked. The sampler is bland and undercooked and cold. Almost $60 ordered and trash. Whoever is the cook tonight definitely doesnt wanna be there. No queso, no guacamole, no sour cream!

    Visited nlr location on 1/2/24 for happy hour. The queso was cold. I don't mean warm but cold. The dish it was served in was super hot so I guess they attempted to warm it up in the microwave and serve it to me hot but failed. It was so cold it was hard to scoop. I sent it back and it came back a little warmer than cold but not hot. At this point I was over it and just left it on the table. My bartender/server was amazing though and I had excellent service the whole time I was there. The only thing that made up for the horrible food was his drinks and service. I also had the firecracker peppers and they were too hot (temperature wise)to even eat but the #1 item sold there (queso) was given to me cold not once but twice. Their prices have gotten extremely high especially to be a Tex-Mex/ Mexican spot so I just feel like the food should reflect those prices.
