Wade VAugust 4, 2016Overpriced and NOT good. The queso tasted like a cheap BBQ sauce, and the margarita was $15 and the worst I've ever had. I've drank hundreds of margaritas... and I didn't even finish this one.
Lain MdrapAugust 17, 2018Pork tongue tacos were the best. The service wasn't good, bartender miserable, tables not wiped down. Mediocre sauces and water hidden in the back
Marino De La CruzJuly 15, 2019Went in and was completely ignored asked for the menu. 11 minutes went by and still no one seem to be concern to take my order. Need to improve their customer service.
Amy CSeptember 2, 2015Mexican food is hard to screw up. This place had horrible food. It was actually repulsive.
