I was excited to try this newer place with my friends whom I was hosting and was mildly disappointed. I have seen some other reviews referencing the good “value” of this establishment in terms of pricing and I completely disagree. In fact I found it relatively expensive for a Mexican restaurant. One of my friends and I ordered fajitas, mine being a mixture of shrimp, beef, and chicken. Although the portion was decent, despite the 34$ price which is a lot to me, it came with 3 measly tortillas that were slightly hardened when I got them already. Although my proteins were tasty, there simply were not enough tortillas. Both my friend and I asked for more in which case our waitress said she would go get us some, almost as if this was a normal request. When we got the bill, we had been charged an extra 6$ for the 6 extra measly tortillas split between my friend and I. This would not have bothered me nearly as much if we were told about the extra charge at first. If you ask me, something made up of cheap ingredients, ESPECIALLY tortillas, should not be lacking in a dish...

I gave it a 3-star rating because I liked my La Bamba burrito but I didn't like my husband's chicken chimichanga. The waitress said that my husband's chimichanga came with cheese on it, but when they brought it, there was no cheese on it. The menu says it was a 12-inch and it was a 5-inch when they brought it for both. He told the waitress that we wanted waters but she brought us bottled water and they were $2 each instead of us bringing the filtered water in a glass with ice that was free!! It didn't even say that bottled water was $2 on the menu! We only ordered water, not bottled water!! We didn't even get ice in our glasses! The service was very poor here. She immediately asked us what we wanted to eat after we sat. We didn't even get to look at the menu yet! My husband's chicken chimichanga was $17, it should have been $12!! Not worth it. I really enjoyed my La Bamba burrito though, even though it should have been $10, instead of $15. I think they are taking advantage of the customers. Would we go here again,...
