    I loved my overall experience here. I got Jesse as my server and he was amazing. He was on top of everything and his energy was great. Will be coming back.

    I usually get "rosa". It is tasty and satisfying. Be careful of the large prawn though. I have had a few that were overcooked. Let your server know so they can get you a new one.

    Request Whitney for your server. By far the best one there. Your beverage will never be less than half full.

    Viva Zapata is my favorite, and Lisa is the greatest server ask for her.

    When they say the plates are hot they aren't teasing. Keep your little ones away from the plates. Oh, and three food its great! Don't forget sopapillas for desert.

    Really mediocre. I got the Acapulco. The hole relleno had some kind of rubbery yellow cheese in it (not queso), they didn't remove seeds, rice tasted odd, and iced tea horribly bitter.

    Dont waste your time or money! They charge for the chips and wont refill them. The food is bland to say the least. Everything is reheated.
