I visited this restaurant during the dinner rush, and despite the bustling atmosphere, I was immediately impressed by the speedy service. From the moment I sat down, I was attended to by a very welcoming and attentive staff.

I started with the chips and salsa, along with the queso dip. The chips were warm and crispy, and the queso was incredibly flavorful, a perfect complement to the chips. For my main course, I ordered the Enchiladas Poblanas. The enchiladas were delicious, served with perfectly sautéed onions and melted cheese, alongside warm, perfectly cooked Spanish rice and a fresh side salad of tomatoes and lettuce with a dollop of sour cream. The onions and cheese paired exceptionally well with the enchiladas.

To accompany my meal, I ordered a mango colada. It was cool, refreshing, and packed a strong, satisfying piña colada flavor.

The restaurant offered excellent value for money, considering the wide variety of menu items and the impressively speedy service. Even during the dinner rush, the staff were courteous and efficient, accommodating both dine-in and to-go orders promptly. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service, even...

If you buy a jar of cheap spaghetti sauce and throw in a bay leave when heating it up, do you call it homemade? You'll love this place if you do. I chose this place to celebrate a friends birthday from a Google search (their website mentioned fresh tortillas). What a mistake. The guacamole was some avocado paste with some pico de gallo thrown in and mixed up (with some citrus?). The salsa and queso tasted fresh out of a jar (more likely a can). Moreover, half of our meals (party of four) were tepid at best. How do you serve a not at all warm quesadilla and not take it off the check when the person doesn't eat it because it's cold? Which, they would have known about way before everyone was finished eating if they ever bothered to check in with us. The beans tasted like reconstituted beans (think Taco Bell) and and the rice was flavorless (tho cooked well). The meat tasted like it had been cooked and then re-heated. Not good. In fact, decidedly bad. And, well, the tortillas were definitely NOT homemade. I do not understand how this place has such good reviews on Yelp and Google when the iced tea might have been the best part of the meal. At least it (the iced tea) tasted authentic...
