    The flautas are fair, but the tacos camarones are to die for! Unfortunate that you have to pay for the chips and salsa to start with, but the salsa is very fresh tasting and worth the $2.45!

    The swiss enchiladas were awesome! Finish off your meal with an order of fried ice cream!

    Swiss enchiladas are freakin yummy! Enrique is the best, most professional server I have ever seen, even at places that are twice as expensive. Courtesy of him we WILL be back.

    Paying for chips and salsa is crazy! On top of that it was terrible!

    Avoid this place. The service time is horrible, and the staff will just make excuses. It took 40 min between order and serving a single chimichanga, which wasn't very good. Drinks are overpriced.

    Chips and salsa only $2.45, free refill! Not bad. Food was great.

    A Mexican restaurant that doesn't give you free chips and salsa? And their lunch specials don't include sides! Eat someplace else.

    Service was excellent for lunch. Got table overlooking rides. Quiet break from the mall noise. Relaxing.

    So the reviews about bad service are wrong. Seated fast. Four drinks at the table before we opened the menu and nachos on the way!!

    The chile relleno is alright, but it may need more salt or spiciness to make it awesome.

    It was pretty good. Very pretty and presentable food. However, I would rather go to chipotle and only spend 1/6 of the price I paid for half the amount....

    Here is a tip. Ask a manager why they charge for something or if your food is not right. How can a place make it right if you do not give them the chance to? Complain if they do not help.

    Really bad service. Eat someplace else unless you are willing to wait for an hour for the bill. No asking if we wanted additional refreshments .... just plain awful!
