A Family Oriented restaurant with comfort, authentic cuisine! Don't forget to check out the store on your way out.

My family has been here probably a dozen times. It?s either a really great experience or extremely poor. When they?re on point the food is great and service is wonderful. When it?s poor twice they?ve told us they were closed at 7pm on Saturday, even though there were people in there eating and staff was standing around laughing and joking and their hours said they should be open, we?ve had to wait over an hour for our food a few times only to get part of our order or even once someone else?s partial order. We?ve had our food brought after 45 minutes and it be cold. They also run out of drinks quite often. Every time I?ve been there I have to go chase down my bill, almost like once you get your food the server is done with you. When we?ve had really poor service it?s typically only younger workers there, I?m wondering if it?s a cats away mice will play kinda thing when boss isn?t around. I don?t like bashing on locally owned businesses in my community. Their food is great and authentic and if you get the right group of people when you go it?s wonderful. The problem is it?s hit or miss on service and you don?t know until you?ve already ordered and have sat there for a half hour wondering where your food is. If they were more consistent I?d give them a better rating but they lost my business after the last time they told me they were closed, 2 hours early, with people inside eating, while their open sign was lit up.

If you got an hour to wait on your food, go for it. The food was okay. Not great. The poor waitresses seem to be so used to saying, Sorry for the wait. , that 's it automatic. There was one other table occupied during our visit on a weekend. Two more guest came in and sat at the bar area. So a total of four tables by the time we left, and still waited way too long for average Mexican fare..

I was very pleasantly surprised. Doesn't look like much when you first walk in but the food was excellent. Friendly staff , family oriented as well as adult portions . Food was well presented and served quickly. This is not your ordinary taco restaurant as the selection is quite vast and varied

Severe was very slow. Ordered 2 tacos . Took 1/2 hour. She had time to talk to all the men who were there. .they was only 3 tables of people.
