We have been coming to this restaurant for 5 years and have recommended it to friends and family. However, tonight was a disaster. It felt like the two servers were having a fight and we were caught in the middle. We kept telling each other that the other server was our waiter, but neither of them attended to our table. After waiting for 30 minutes, we had to ask the manager if our order was even ready. We asked other employees twice to find our server for us, but still no one came to our table. An hour after ordering, we inquired about our food and found out that what we had requested wasn't even prepared properly. When we finally requested to speak to the manager, we were informed that there was only one assistant available. Eventually, another server pretended to be the manager but did not take responsibility or offer a valid explanation for the poor service. To top it off, they even tried to charge us for children's meals, despite the fact that kids eat free on Tuesday. I would have left without complaining, but I didn't want to set a bad example for my children. Our previous positive experiences at this restaurant are now tarnished, and I do not recommend anyone to dine here.

Definitely better than the other Mexican restaurants in the general area.

The menu is pretty standard Mexican fare. I've had the chicken quesadilla and chicken nachos. They were both excellent. The frozen margaritas are the bomb. They have excellent weekly specials. Went there on a Monday and got a percentage off my bill. The staff are friendly and very hard working. They were constantly running around and making sure guests were taken care of even though we went during a slower Monday lunch time.

The tables that they seat people at are spread out if you are dining inside. If eating inside a restaurant is not your thing just yet they have fast take out service! They have something for everyone!

The food was great, but the margarita was the best I have had in a long time. Will definitely be back every Wednesday God willing for the margarita special. read more The food was great, but the margarita was the best I have had in a long time.
