The food could have been really good, but both mine and my husband's steak was over cooked in our burritos. The steak was actually crunchy, some pieces were like beef jerky. The salsa is top notch and we were never without chips, but the people running food were very confused. We watched them give two tables the wrong food and had to come back and give them the right order. They kept stopping at tables and asking if the food they had was for them. I got the Smoky Bacon Spinach Burrito. I realize it is Parents Weekend at OU but we didn't have to wait to be seated and not all the tables were full. We finished our meals because our son picked this restaurant to try and we didn't want to complain and make him feel bad. When the hostess asked us how everything was, my husband told her about the steak, because my son and I had went outside to wait. Her response was, it's busy tonight. Very disappointing!

Even on a busy weekend like moms weekend, the service was great. The food, however, was overly salty. Everything from the chips, salsa, beans, and guacamole was just over salted. The lunch portion was good size. Price was reasonable. Strawberry margarita was tasty but was weak. The double toliet in a single bathroom was humorous. I won't give grief about the cleanliness because, again, it was a busy weekend. I think based on the service, this location, and the menu, this place has potential, but until the food is not over salted, it will, in my opinion, be a problem.

Went in for an early dinner, so it wasn't too busy. But by the time we left it was starting to fill up. The food was delicious. The complimentary salsa was really good, and the chips were warm and fresh. At first I felt like the portions were a little small, but I didn't walk away hungry. The waitress was really friendly and kept checking up on us a lot. I ordered the jumbo flavored margarita and it was also really good. Everything was reasonably priced. Will definitely come back.
