★★★★★ 5.0 Roxanne Pearson · Jun 2025

Stopped in on a very busy Father’s Day night Order the taco meal with rice and beans And I did not order ahead of time so I had to sit at the bar and wait for my meal. The staff was over accommodating. Several people asked me if I had been waited on. Could they get me water chips and salsa while I was waiting? This is not service usually get for to go meal I can’t say it was very worth my while to wait for the food Food was very good and packed in a way where when you get home, it’s not gonna be a bunch of soggy mess This is food served and packed with love.

★★★★★ 5.0 Renee Chadwickmelvin · May 2023

The food was delicious and the staff are so friendly. It was Mother’s Day and the Resteraunt was decorated so beautifully. When I got home I discovered I lost my wallet and was so upset because I had important cards that couldn’t be replaced. I went back to the Resteraunt and the staff searched and no one handed it in. I even looked around the seat and floor where I had been sitting as there were a couple there but didn’t find it. I showed the owners of what it looked like as it was a big wallet. I was beside myself. I left my number in case someone handed it in. After closing I received a call that they had searched where I was sitting and it had fallen between the seats. One of the pictures was at night and it’s dark, you can see where they were closed; and we went to get it. They stay

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kari Ward · Mar 2024

The staff was nice and the interior is cute. The fajita was tons of food, more than my husband could eat, but the shrimp was fairly bland, he said. His margarita (not frozen) was okay. I ordered chicken tacos and got beef. They were fine, I guess. I will say the rice was amazing, but overall, the food is just okay. I wouldn’t avoid this restaurant, but I won’t be craving it.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mari “Mari” G. · Mar 2023

Restaurant is decorated really nice but unfortunately that is the only thing I can say. This was the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. I didn’t even finish eating my because it was that bad. I had the combination platter which included a Burrito, Enchilada and Tostada. The beef in my dishes was soupy and honestly did not have any flavor at all. The tostada was soggy and not crunchy at all. My husband had the chicken quesadilla and he said it was dry. The free chips and salsa were about the only thing that were good.
