The restaurant itself was dated, but very clean which is much more important. It took a while untilour waiter arrived, but I was hoping the food would make up for it. I had to request chips and salsa after drinks came, whichthose and the bottled coca cola were pretty much all that were good. We got a beef and a chicken chimichanga dinner. It was verywatery and didn?t taste well. The beef was chewy, salty, not too good of flavor and dripping. The chicken was a little betterwith flavor, but still dripping. The watery juices from the meat leached out into the liquidy refried beans making a liquid soup like mess on the plate. I wish I got a picture, but it was a mess on the plate trying to work with it, so an image wouldmake this look even worse. It made me give up and my friend and I barely ate the meals. We didn?t take any left overs, didn?twant to complain because our waiter already seemed overwhelmed. We decided to order dessert, thinking that would be the savinggrace and well... the banana chonga my friend got was good, but the strawberry syrup should have been chocolate (the waiter saidthey were out and decided to substitute). I got the fried ice cream and it was a large scoop of ice cream in a fried tortillatopped with whipped cream, then caramel and strawberry syrup, those flavors don?t really go well together and there was nothingfried or at least a crunchy coating to give the fried ice cream idea. I did at least attach a pic of the ice cream that I liftedto show nothing on it making it nothing like fried ice cream. I wish the business the best and hope they can make it, I?m soclose by that I just wish they had good food.

The staff was very friendly and immediately greeted me. They even pointed out some of their more popular dishes. We ordered quite afew dishes for take out and the food was ready quickly and it was packaged well. Everything was absolutely delicious. If welived closer we would regularly come here to eat.

Waitresswas worry about her tip instead of provided good customer service.

The flavor portion size of the food was acceptable, The price for our dinner combo was $15.50/per person. I felt there was enough of everything on theplatter. First impressions do matter though. The raw details: Prices on all entrees are $2 more than what is actually listedon the menu, they were out of tamales, the tv music volume was distractingly loud while trying to converse with my group. ForA/C, a degree or two cooler would have been perfect for a hot afternoon. We got there around 3 which isnt a peak time for lunchor dinner so maybe it was just bad timing for the thermostat setting. Everyone is on a budget in our current Biden- burned outeconomy resturants have suffered for the past couple years trying to survive. But every CUSTOMER is a PAYING customer whoshould be made to feel catered to, glad they came,and want to go off their budget to come again. I picked up the entire tabfor my group. There was no wow factor here for me, The food portion was decent but the overall dining experience did notleave me feeling glad i spent nearly $70 there or anxious to go back. The kicker: We got there a few minutes too late for thelunch specials. My guests were ravenous at 3pm as they hadnt had lunch so they devoured the chips salsa. The owner said ifwe wanted more it would be $3. I have never had a Mexican resturant say that. Clearly we were a group of 3 there for dinners atthat time of the afternoon, not freeloading for water and free chips. This is an example of penny wise pound foolish, (morebudget conscious than customer conscious), a gracious bowl of chips and a degree cooler might look budget bad to a pennyfocused person but could have gained 3 regular customers and a much better public review. Budgets are important, but gaininglong term loyal customers who give good referrals are priceless in comparison.
