    This is a good lunch spot for my work lunch break when I'm working in the area. I don't always like work but I like my lunch break. I usually get the burritos al carbon with steak which I like but once I ordered the lunch special of the day, but I don't remember what it was. It was good though. The food is inside.

    One of the better Mexican restaurants. We use this restaurant as a base for when we eat at other Mexican places and there's only a few we have ate at that are better. This is definitely a go to for me and my family.

    We ride that bench quite a few times! An only once was our order incorrect as it was a easy fix! Always good food along with the atmosphere? All good

    The food was fresh and delicious, and service was kind and accommodating; even for a last-minute 20 top. It's also a great value for the cost. I will eat here again if I'm back in the area.

    New to the area decided to try out this establishment! Greeted promptly at the door, decor is typical of the usual Mexican style restaurant, we sat at a booth since I have a service animal. Server attended to us right away. My husband ordered corona and my son a pink lemonade and myself a 1/2 tea! We then ordered the cheese dip which came out with the salsa real quick! Am onto dinner we went having a shrimp chimichanga and a kids cheese quesadilla, and I had ribeye- fajitas! The meal was wonderful and came out about as fast as the chips!!! The service was great and so was the food we will defiantly be coming back! An for what we ordered the pricing was normal, the beers are pricy but next time we will stick with regular drinks!! Hope this helps in your dinner deciding !!! Enjoy

    Their chips and salsa was great. I got the shrimp Fajita. It was good, but I only had, like, 8 shrimp. It was difficult to understand the waitress. When she was ready to take our order, I asked for more salsa (party of 4) she immediately left the table, got the salsa, put it on our table then left and didn't take our order.
