Description

Nestled in the heart of the bustling Viewmont Mall area, this restaurant offers a wide range of Mexican dishes, from flavorful chimichangas to hearty burrito bowls. While the food generally receives high praise for freshness and generous portions, some diners have reported inconsistent service experiences, including slow drink refills and lengthy wait times.

This restaurant shouldn't even be open. My husband and I visited around 2019 for his birthday, and both the service and food were disappointing. We decided to give it another shot yesterday, and I honestly don't understand how this place stays in business. I ordered the shrimp tacos, expecting something special given the price, but it was just shrimp on a tortilla shell—nothing else, absolutely nothing! My husband had the steak bowl, which was overwhelmed with unnecessary toppings that made the actual food unappetizing and soggy. It was so unappealing! We both left with a bad taste in our mouths, and to top it off, we ended up feeling sick. This isn’t authentic Mexican food at all. It seems like the only people who go here are just looking for alcoholic drinks and end up thinking the food is good because they’re drunk. Lastly, if you’re not ordering alcohol, it feels like they don’t care about your business. Our waiter did the bare minimum when it came to gauging our enjoyment. Never again!
