“ This place was pretty great. Although the food presentation wasn't anything exceptional, it tasted amazing (except the chalupa, that was a bit bland). What really impressed we was how the servers responded when we found a tiny piece of a broken plate in one of our meals. They credited half our order for FREE (and the price was already pretty low to begin with). I left a sizeable tip to show my appreciation. Would definitely go here again. ”
“ All 3 excellent we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and such lovely decos in line with heritage. Colors we're vibrant and what a amazing bar! ”
“ Just tried this place again after some time and we loved it. Everything was delicious. In the past we thought their salsa left something to be desired but it was quite different this time and delicious! Highly recommend the Carne Azteca! Our waiter Jesús was on top of everything. Very pleasant evening. ”
“ I think there service is great as well as there food ... we eat there as a family , quick meal or a dinner place for our out of town friends we all gather there n they accommodate our needs thank you !!! ”
“ Always have great service, a lot of great food, and the prices are great too. We went and celebrated my Mom's 90th Birthday here, know the service, food would all be great. They were so good to her, I forgot they put whip on your nose, when they went to do this she opened her mouth like a little bird and the waiter fed her, lol! There was 7 of us and we almost all fell on the floor laughing! She loved them singing to her also! What a great time! ”
“ Food good, service excellent! Very friendly and accommodating staff, went head over heels for customers. Delicious margaritas and abundant chips and salsa. ”
“ I ordered carry out here, and wowww was I pleased with my order! I called ahead and everything was ready when I arrived. I was surprised by how they included their chips and salsa for free, and I should emphasize that they were a lot of chips! I ordered the El Toro fajitas and it was delicious. Everything was packaged well and serving size is generous. I was able to eat two meals out of one and was still full. It's a bit on the salty side though, so make sure you have lots of water nearby haha. Jokes aside, I plan on visiting here to dine in one day because many reviews say that the staff is friendly and service is great. It looks like an excellent place for groups and their margarita specials are so tempting! ”
