The last time I visited my mother fell in the parking lot. At the time their handicap parking spot was not in the proper location. Since my complaint at the time ,the issues has been improved but the spot is usually occupied by the same vehicle that has not sticker. I assume it's an employee. Their special of 3 tacos for $4.49 is misleading to say the least. The advertisement on the side of the building is probably 6X6 feet. The sign highlights their special of "3 tacos" for a discounted price, yet no one reads the fine print. The fine print reads "must purchase 3 of the same taco or 2 of the same taco +1 other". In this age of being "nickel and dime'd" it does not feel like an authentic special. It feels like being taken advantage of. When guests go to the counter to order and don't read the fine print, order 3 tacos the total is over $7. It's not until then that it is revealed that there is "fine print". Additionally if guests are being asked, cash or card is also a feeling of being bias for a certain type pf payment. If business read their agreement with credit card processors, they would see this practice is unlawful for charging an additional fee to compensate their required fee for processing. It's sad that even though it's a "special" it feels like a special that is not authentic and...

Although the atmosphere made it seem like this would be a great place for Mexican food, my experience was far from it. I ordered a couple of bean and cheese tacos and a beef fajita taco, and my total came out to around $16—which already seemed overpriced. But the real shocker? My bean and cheese tacos had sliced American cheese on them. I’m not even joking. I don’t know if they thought I wouldn’t notice or if it was some kind of joke, but it was disgusting.

My boyfriend’s beef fajita taco looked unappetizing, and I have no idea how much it cost since my meal alone was already expensive. When I ordered the beef fajita, the lady at the counter gave me a big smile, so I assumed it was going to be something special. Nope. It was awful.

On top of that, the entire place had a terrible smell—like they never change their grease traps. If you’ve ever smelled that rancid, old-grease odor, you know exactly what I mean. It was strong enough that we could smell it from outside, and it tainted the flavor of everything.

I honestly don’t know how this place has good reviews because the food was nasty. The atmosphere might make it seem like a great spot, but I’ll never eat...
