    My family's first eating experience was awhile back. We had a great time then and our server was great and even totally hilarious! Recently, I came back strictly on my own and the service was also excellent, even a notch above my original visit. They have REAL FOOD and at decent prices. I ordered the 'double combination' with a few upgrades. It could easily feed 2-3 people for about 20 bucks. They were so attentive in the lobby. No one else but this place does that anymore. Thank you for a great experience! I will be coming back, often!

    We went here and didn't know it was endless taco day! Food was so amazing, just the right amount of spice for heat. Our waiter was amazing and the restaurant was warm and inviting. Food came out pretty quickly and was plentiful! Definitely check it out, especially on taco Tuesday when the tacos are endless!!!

    This place is so yummy! We loved the tacos. The taco salad is perfect and the salsa is amazing. I love everything smothered, and they have plenty of that here. Would absolutely recommend this place for a quick, Mexican bite!

    I will start off with the Pros: -Great customer service! Truly amazing. -Very clean! -Fast service and fast seating - Spicy white queso is thick and full of flavor! Why I gave 2 Stars: After reading the current 5 star reviews, we decided to give this place a shot. My husband ordered the fajita steak burrito and I ordered a fajita steak quesadilla. Our order came out very quickly, and we soon realized that the steak was essentially rubber. (These items were kindly removed from our ticket.) Our waiter was very kind and accommodating, and we both placed a new order. I decided to go with two chicken enchiladas and my husband ordered the chicken fajita burrito this time . My husband really enjoyed his new order but unfortunately my enchiladas were very dry and disappointing. (See photo) I did ask for the chili-verde sauce to be removed, but I have never had dry enchiladas with shredded cheese like this before, so I was confused. The chicken was dry and had no flavor. We won’t be back for a meal, but I can definitely see myself getting a to-go order of the spicy white queso and chips! Yum!

    The server is what was best about this place. She was friendly and happy even though had 6 inches of snow and she knew it was going to be a slow night. The food was ok, it has been better. Maybe they were having an off night with the weather. We will come back again. Unless this was a sign of a decline in their foods.

    Always good service and food. It's a family staple to go there. The lunch menu is excellent for when you want a nice meal, but not large portions of everything. The monterrey is good As is the all meat burrito. Their various combo platters are excellent.

    I hadn't been there in over 25 years as I had moved out of state. The food and service was just as amazing as it was when I was a kid (minus the beloved guitar player that sang La Bamba and smiled so brightly at the entrance.) Only complaint I had was the decor. I missed the wall hangings and light fixtures. Small thing though, when the all meat burrito with cheese is still incredible!

    Very disappointed. This is absolutely not an authentic Mexican restaurant. It is Tex-mex. I also feel it is highly overpriced. I had a taco plate with a tiny thing of beans and rice and my spouse got two enchiladas no sides. , and I got a margarita. Before tip it was $36 The tacos were greasy and soggy. The enchiladas were incredibly salty. The servers were nice. The girls at the front when I went to pay tho stood there and gossiped before helping me. When I said add a 15% as a tip she said on the receipt the lowest was 20% I told her it’s fine. But what a weird transaction.
