Arrived to the restaurant to find not many cars in the parking lot. Walked inside and was greeted by a nice young lady who promptly told us it wold be a 15 minute wait. We decided to stay but noticed a lot of empty tables. After a little more than the 15 minute estimated. We waited awhile for a server then as she flew by she said she would be right with us. When she did return she nice and ask what we would like to drink. My wife and both asked for water with our dinners and I ask for ask drink from the bar. A different young lady brought out the bar drink rather quickly. The server brought our water and some chips and salsa. She took our food order and disappeared into the mist of an under staffed and disorganized. When wecam ed in there were dirty tables all around us then while we waited for our food our server was trieing to pick up the dirty tables and serve her customers. Well we ate our chips an salsa like it was the main course and I had anther drink! Then our server announced that they were out of potatoes which my wife had ordered. She ordered something else and we waited. She brought out our food a d we did not have any Silver ware. Neither of us are very hungry at this point but we were looking forward to a nice meal. Apparently while they prepared the replacement for my wife's potatoes, the rest of our food was basking in the glow of the food warmer. So my taco Shell was crispy on the ends but the middle was protected by the white sauce which was more like a plaster than a sauce. My wife did not like hers either so we ate some of it. The she ask if we wanted desert and we decided to...

I’m giving this visit one star simply because of management. Our server was pleasant and attentive and the food was normal for this location. We got there in plenty of time before happy hour was over but the server was busy and didn’t greet us right away. A different girl brought our chips and salsa and we waited. Finally our server came and we still had time so I ordered off the happy hour menu. She assured me that we would get the happy hour price because it was before 6:00. When the bill came-we only got our queso at the correct price. I asked about it and the server took the receipt to her manager. When she came back we were told to “get here earlier”. Excuse me-what?! We WERE here earlier!! And she didn’t even come out to talk to us herself-she made the server tell us. They did fix the price “this once” but we won’t be back. There’s plenty of other nicer places we can give our...

Was not impressed with this restaurant at all. Ordered the FAJITA STEAK BURRITO come to find out they are out steak. I figure ok I will try another option. I decided to try the street tacos. The beans appeared as if the had been sitting under the heat lamp for hours.. The rice had a weird taste to them so no one ate them.. The three street tacos were so small we thought it was a kids meal or someone was playing a joke on us. The meat inside them were extremely dry. MY meal was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! We also ordered a chicken FAJITA CHICKEN QUESADILLAS also dry, ENCHILADA DE MONTERREY my mother-in-law had two bites then picked it apart to find out why it tasted so weird. My father-in-law had the FAJITA CHICKEN BOWL. He is the only one that finished his meal. My in-laws normally really like this restaurant but after this visit they Do Not want to return. Overall not worth our time or...

We go every year around Christmas when we are in the area. Last year was very questionable if we would return, which made me sad as I used to work at another location and love the food. This year, we decided to try one more time to see if it was worth it. We were extremely impressed, as the visit this year was night and day different from last year! The food was all leagues better than it had been, the service--the lone bright spot last year--was even better, the restaurant seemed cleaner and brighter, and even the margaritas tasted better! We were a group of 7, and they took amazing care of us! Not sure if the owners changed, or if corporate came in and made some changes, but whatever it is, it is WELL worth it! If you had a bad experience in the past, I recommend going back now. It's like a whole new restaurant! The GM, Brandi, is definitely doing things right now!

🇺🇸 Great vibes, awesome food & Shoun is the man! We stopped by this place kind of on a whim - and wow, what a great call. First off, huge shoutout to Shoun, our server, who was absolutely killing it the whole time. Super friendly, on point with everything, constantly checking in without being too much - dude genuinely made the whole experience even better. Food-wise? Way above expectations. We had the chicken salad in a taco bowl and it was honestly delicious - super fresh, really flavorful. Before that, we got a complimentary starter with salsa and these big nacho-style chips. Perfect little kickoff. We also tried the cheese dip (like 5 cents?!), and yeah… that thing SLAPS. Then came the burrito - served up with mashed cheesy potatoes and fries on the side. Everything came out looking great and tasted even better. You can tell they put care into how they plate things too, which is always nice. And I have to mention the drinks - absolutely awesome and only $4?! That’s basically a steal in 2025. They didn’t skimp on the pours either. Bottom line: great food, chill vibe, great service. We left full, happy, and already planning to come back. Thanks again to Shoun - you’re a legend, man. 🇵🇱 Trafiliśmy do tego miejsca trochę przypadkiem i okazało się strzałem w dziesiątkę. Obsługa na bardzo wysokim poziomie – Shoun, kelner który nas obsługiwał, naprawdę zna się na rzeczy. Był uprzejmy, pomocny, cały czas dyskretnie dbał o to, żeby niczego nam nie brakowało. Miły, zaangażowany, a przy tym nienachalny – dokładnie tak, jak powinno być. Jedzenie bardzo dobre. Zamówiliśmy sałatkę z kurczakiem w taco bowlu – świeże składniki, wszystko dobrze doprawione, całość smaczna i sycąca. Na początek dostaliśmy czekadełko – salsę z dużymi, chrupiącymi chipsami przypominającymi nachosy. Prosta rzecz, ale dobrze zrobiona. Do tego serowy dip za symboliczne 5 centów, który okazał się naprawdę świetny. Wzieliśmy też burrito, które było podane z dwoma dodatkami: puree ziemniaczanym z serem i frytkami. Wszystko smaczne i porządnie przygotowane, a do tego estetycznie podane – widać, że kuchnia przykłada się nie tylko do smaku, ale i do wyglądu dań. Na duży plus także drinki – bardzo dobre, a przy tym niedrogie, tylko 4 dolary za sztukę. Smakowały i miały odpowiednią moc. Podsumowując – bardzo udana wizyta. Smaczne jedzenie, dobra atmosfera, świetna obsługa. Na pewno chętnie tu wrócimy. Wielkie dzięki dla Shouna za profesjonalne podejście i świetną obsługę.

Ordered for delivery via DoorDash, we were really surprised with how the food arrived, normally you'd expect food to be mushed up or jostled in to go trays but our meals arrived in picture perfect condition. Being here as travelers we found the food to be really high in sodium, it could have been that the food was seasoned to the local tastes or maybe we just haven't been eating food with high salt content so that could have just been our taste buds however, the food was very tasty. We also ordered sopapillas, the queso with shredded chicken and chips. Overall we would definitely order again. Door dash did a great job delivering the food in great condition.
