★★★★★ 5.0 Anne LeSenne · Jan 2026

Chips are thin, crispy and fresh. We ordered the Ultimate Fajitas and every meat was delicious. The flour tortillas soft. Great guacamole and salsa. We ordered the grilled veggies instead of rice and they were so tasty! Fast friendly service too. We'll definitely return!

Emily, Marsae was so awesome, I ended up coming back the next evening. Today, my server, alexa was awesome as well. This is what I call a top notch dining experience. Please go back to the old fajitas... that garlic parmesian is not it!!! The warm salsa is growing on me and the chips are 1000% better!!

In Feb, 2026, they showed a new menu and some improved dishes. Guacamole made like I make it. Mostly avocado. Smooth and great with their chips. Manager made a point to introduce himself and our waiter was young, eager and very attentive, but I’m not complaining. The strawberry swirl I ordered was a frozen, very tart & refreshing drink. I forget what we ordered. It’s been a few days, but we found it tasty.

This chain was purchased by another company called Pappas. They have over the last few months changed the recipes and not updated the menu , they are cutting cost left and right and itnis affecting client experience . The salsa is served piping hot. The new chips are so thin the salsa makes them go immediately limp. And the flavor is absolutely horrid. Tonight I ordered guacamole which according to the menu comes with red onion, cilantro, salt and lime. For 9.29. What I got was a bowl of plain chunky barely mashed avocado with no red onion, cilantro , lime or salt. I went through two waiters and two supervisors. And they refused to make it as it appears on the menu. I was told they would be getting new menus in a few weeks but they were given direction by the new owners to make item

These are the saddest & most pathetic "nachos" ive ever gotten. I also got a half order of mini sopapillas, which were fine. Nothing to write home about But for $20 i was expecting something more substantial. I wasnt expecting something i could have just made in the microwave. It tasted fine but, honestly, to charge $20 for like 6 nachos & mid sopapillas is robbery
