Wait staff was very polite, I had a call in order and was pretty specific on what I wanted as it deviated from the norm, as usual my order was perfect!

The food was delicious! The restaurant was very nice and clean. I really enjoyed my peach margarita. I will definitely be back!

The waitress was in a hurry and was quite abrupt, nearly pointing at my husband's face as she rushed around. She even dropped a straw and expected him to pick it up. The chili had a strange taste, though the meat was decent. They informed me that my bill would be $35.00, but I ended up being charged $47.00 instead. Additionally, the salsa tasted like ketchup.

WFYI: although i'd visited there a few times before bringing a friend to lunch (she's also a senior citizen), i learned the hard way that it'll cost you $30.54 for 2 small taco salads 2 tiny (12oz happy hour) beers, at 4pm on a Tuesday, i returned there the next day (to ask for an email address to inquire ensure that was correct) i was thoroughly shamed by the lady the male waiter, for asking basically shunned, i was shocked at their harsh words, it's the only negative merchant experience i have ever had, i wouldn't eat or drink there again, not even for free, Ugh, sorry ElCharro, but you're Fired!!
