Valentino RosasMay 17, 2014This place is really good. Love their salsa, both the warm and the cold salsa and their vanilla bean flan is amazing. Service was a bit slow though.
Hannah AlkadiMay 31, 2016The queso is the best I've ever had. I got that with the steak fajitas and have since become a happier person.
Alexandra PrinceNovember 6, 2018I really enjoyed the sizzling fajitas with herb grilled vegetables. They are vegan and still have amazing flavor! With the cilantro lime rice and black beans it made a great combo. Highly recommended!
Laura RamosApril 30, 2021I had the chicken relleno and it was delicious! Hubs had Mexican meatloaf & daughter had kids cheeseburger which they enjoyed. Staff was very attentive, highly recommend this one.
Sevag MOctober 23, 2018The fajitas and guacamole! Melba is the best waitress. Highly recommend to try this place.

Alek GlauvitzJuly 1, 2013Do the double pork enchilada! Worth the money! Also, José is the coolest waiter here! Enjoy!
Jeff EdwardsOctober 21, 2011Watch for the up-sell to the signature margarita. It is $12 but not on the menu. Also, double check your bill if you have any coupons. We have been here several times and always have to remind them

Amber AshcraftMay 3, 2012The dessert presentation is amazing! The chicken fried tamales (pork!) are absolutely incredible!
