This place is pretty nice. The food was delicious, and the server was super friendly. They had it decorated really cute for Christmas. I do have two comments about service tho and they aren't really related to the table service, which was good. First, there is a screen wall at the station when you first walk in. It took a while for them to know we were there. I had to look around the wall and get their attention. Another group stood there for a while until I told our waiter they were there. The restaurant should do something about this. I'm sure people have left because no one came. Second, I guess the two servers on duty that afternoon were not big fans of housekeeping. There were two tables that we could see from the door that clearly had not been wiped from the previous patrons. From our table, I could see one bus cart attention back and one near the front that were full of dishes. I don't think they could hold any more. Not sure what that was about. Anyway, as I said, our food was really good. We will go back. Oh, yeah, the location is nice too. Right on the main Apex drag. It's nice to walk the street after a meal.

GREAT FOOD, good atmosphere, sub-par service for lunch. (I’ve been a few times and don’t specifically remember the service bad or good those other times. I think our waitress was just distracted this time, the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars). I got the Pastor quesadilla and hubby got the ACP trio. All VERY good! We also got the chorizo queso as an appetizer and it was soooo yummy! And don’t sleep on the fries that come with the quesadillas. I don’t usually have fries at Mexican restaurants but these were perfect🙌🏼🙌🏼. They had the same habanero drizzle as the quesadilla *chefs kiss* to the meal. Didn’t get to try any drinks but they looked delicious!

We used to love this place because it reminded us of TexMex in Houston. The last 2 times the service has been lacking and food was not the previous quality. We ordered chili renellos which I have only ever eaten battered and fried with cheese and sometimes beef inside. Mine was a cold half chili pepper with some beef on top and a cheese sprinkling. I told the waiter it was not like any I had ever eaten and definitely not fried. He absolutely insisted it was fried. I finally convinced him to bring us each another enchilada which was bland. I left 3/4 of my food on the plate as did my daughter. We dont get to eat out often and I'm sad I wasted my money.

Great guacamole, street tacos and margaritas. Drinks are strong, especially on the rocks. The picture of drinks is strawberry margarita and skinny Jamaica with hibiscus. Fresh guacamole is outstanding allowing me to add fresh lime is a nice added benefit. The terace de crema is the best Pollo con crema we've had! The lime Carne asada was perfectly cooked. The roasted jalapeño and young onions was a tasty addition. The service was OUTSTANDING, from the hostess, to the bartender, to the waiter, to the food runner all were attentive and honestly focused on our having a great experience. We'll be back!

The food at this location has been lacking for the past couple of months. We have been going here 7 years and it has been fantastic. But lately when we order through DoorDash it has been awful. I order the Tiras De Pollo and I have been once a week for a year. Tonight I got my order and what I received was basically chicken in pure Queso. Which is not the same as the chipotle sauce for the Tiras De Pollo. This sauce I got was very thick, white, and was not good. I tried calling but no one answers the phone at this location. Adding photos of what it should look like, compared to what I received.
