I absolutely love their food! We've ordered takeout several times and have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly, and the food is fantastic! We always go all out and enjoy meals together as a family.

The food was not as authentically Mexican as I had anticipated, but it was very fresh and quite enjoyable. It's my teenage son's favorite spot to dine. The service was outstanding; our waitress was excellent, attentive, and always greeted us with a smile. She recognized my son from his frequent visits, which added a personal touch to our experience. Her manners were impeccable, and she was very approachable, engaging us in pleasant conversation. Since it was a slower day during our visit, she had the opportunity to chat with us, which made our first experience relaxed and welcoming. Overall, the food was good, the prices were really reasonable, and the service was fantastic. I will definitely be coming back!

Good place with great service and a very wide variety of things on the menu. Pizza was good along with a chicken taco. So much better than parkers diner just down the road.

The 12oz Red Bull gives you an idea of just how massive the Extreme Pizza is—it's a whopping 28 inches! It almost didn't fit in the truck. You might think a pizza this large wouldn't taste great, but it was surprisingly delicious. We had four people and still couldn't finish half of it! I highly recommend it. I’ve also included a few pictures from inside the restaurant; it has a lovely atmosphere, and I really enjoyed the dollar bills decorating the walls.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I've been here twice; the first time was nice with good service. However, this second visit was disappointing. We waited a long time at our table just to receive overly greasy fried pickles with our meal. Appetizers are typically served before the entrees, but that didn't happen this time. The food wasn't great, and the beer my partner ordered was off as well. Our waitress didn't provide very good service either. I probably won't be returning.
