★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kent · Oct 2025

This place is a cash grab for people driving through. Everything is extra, chips and even more tortillas when you order a 25 dollar fajitas. Who only uses three small tortillas? Service was poor. Our drinks were never refilled. I wish I had listened to the more recent reviews. The steak in my fajitas was overcooked and the cheapest cut of meat with no seasoning. It also comes with no cheese.

Authentic Mexican cuisine. The food was nice, waiting time was decent and staff behavior was polite. It was over crowded for a long weekend though.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Thomas Graspo · Oct 2025

Nice place and resonabilty priced, nice Staff.. needs a make-over of the interior, salsa is not spicy at , so I'll from Texas, I like it hot and chunky 😋. But very satisfying, overall.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Tisha Burgess · Jul 2024

Great Food, Margarita Needs Improvement. I recently dined at this Mexican restaurant and had a generally positive experience. The camarones and beef nachos appetizer was fantastic, and the enchiladas and burrito were delicious and well-prepared. However, I would have given a 5-star review if the margaritas had been better. Unfortunately, they tasted too much like the mixer, lacking the fresh, vibrant flavor I was hoping for.Despite that, the overall food quality and service were excellent. I’d definitely return for the great dishes and hope the margaritas improve in the future!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joel Keralis · Feb 2023

I want to frame the three-star rating as nothing was objectively bad, but nothing was noteworthy either. The house margarita was served in a pint glass and was as weak as you would expect from the pictures. Prices were great though, with plenty of options. My chile relleno was super water-logged and got cold faster than the rest of my food. In hindsight I should have ordered a cheese enchilada to avoid overlading on not-very-seasoned ground beef. But, at the end of the day I was full and didn't absolutely hate anything, and didn't feel like we overpaid.
