I keep returning to this place for two reasons. Good food and quick service. Everything happens here before you have time to really think about it. You walk in and are seated quickly. A server comes to the table with chips and salsa. Another server comes to the table and ask you what would you like to drink. The drink arrives. The server ask what would you like to eat. The food arrives and drink refills arrive. And before you know it you're eating and enjoying your food and time at the restaurant. The whole process took less that 20 minutes. I don't know how they have such great symmetry in service or excellent speed with food delivery, but they do and makes this place amazing. The drink are good too and there is a dedicated bar area at the front of the restaurant. There's an outdoor area as well and live music on some evenings. The staff is friendly and happy to make your visit pleasant and enjoyable. The decor is old but in a nostalgic kinda of way. If you haven't been here and like Hispanic food, mixed with little American than I believe you should give this place a try. Enjoy

I've liked this place for many years. Tonight they served me raw shrimp, cold rice and dirty forks. The only person apologetic was the waitress. We had it re-over-cooked. It was a bit of a nightmare only saved by our server with a good attitude and willingness to please. No manager on duty. We paid full price for food poisoning. Shame on y'all!

Waitstaff could pay a little more attention. Food has always been very good. Recommended.

I have been here dozens of times since 2015, everything from to-go orders, to lunch visits with coworkers and dinner visits with my husband and friends. I have never once (nor anyone I dined with) been disappointed. Chips are always good, fresh. Salsa is not spicy and nor watery (but then again, I love spice so my tastebuds sometimes underestimate "heat" for other people). Their burritos are huge and generously portioned, and I am also a fan of their fajitas. My husband loves the chimichanga. The margaritas are also quite delicious. Service is attentive and reliable. Love this place!

Casual dining in a relaxed environment. Good food at reasonable prices. Service was very good. Do not miss out on the dessert menu esp the raspberry burrito. Plan to visit often
