Friendly place, good atmosphere. However, the meals were made with lower quality components, and based on the 10 items my group ordered, are very bland and not creative. For example, I had an enchilada and a burrito and besides the size, they were exactly alike: flour tortilla, ground hamburger and red sauce. The beans and Spanish rice were standard low- quality boxed or canned items and there was no attempt at adding garnish or any other special touches to any of this. I would be ashamed to serve a meal like this to family, would refuse to serve it to guests and the $9 price was rather high for the meal. I know that running a business - especially a restaurant - is expensive, but it is possible to serve creative, vibrant food without added cost. For example, cook your own beans and mash them - with spices - instead of buying canned. Leave a little texture for home-cooked appeal. Remove some of the meat from the burrito and replace it with (cheaper) lettuce, fried potato chunks (not super authentic but still acceptable - and again, cheaper than the meat) and a sprinkle of cheese - cheddar works, but it would make things even more authentic (and cheaper) if authentic Mexican style cheeses were used.

Anyway, I doubt the owners really need my opinion since they’ve been in business for quite some time without any input from me, but I do know that I will not be back and would not recommend this...

Very unpleased with the managers (“ Victor”) customer service. The servers are nice though. I went in today for lunch like I often do and like always I’m NEVER greeted with friendly or welcoming service from the angry and unpleasant manger at the front ( victor, he says his name is) … I asked my waiter what was the drink special he told me $2.99 for 3 different flavor drinks .So I ordered 2 drinks with my food today (which I never usually get). When I got my ticket back I went to the front to pay for my order and explained to the manger I was charged incorrectly for my drinks ,he then went to say no you were charged the correct price and told me that I’m a regular, so I should know this information. After explaining to him that’s the information that I was told from his waiter, he argued with me, huffed and told me that he was going to fire his waiter (Jose - with the curly hair) And that he would fix the order for me this one time. WOOW!!!!!! I will NEVER again support or bring my business back to this company. Get different management ASAP!! Because VICTOR is terrible!! Not sure if he is racist, I just know when I come in he is NEVER pleasant. Not sure why I even continued to come to this place anyways after the service I am constantly provided by him. But again the waiters/...
