Honestly the food is good, as good or maybe a little better than a similar style restaurant. But the food comes out quick and the staff is all smiles. Really makes a difference.
Austin WestermannJuly 12, 2022The margaritas are big and strong! Food was solid. I thought the service could have been better but the food and drinks definitely made up for any shortcomings. They have a great patio as well.- C HarringaFebruary 19, 2013The hard taco is the best fried tortilla I have ever had. Has more of a flake consistency vs a chip type texture. Ingredients were all fresh. Loved them!
Bob EvansApril 19, 2012I was here 2 years ago same building & same good food. Try the faheaters. They are good.
Please don't go to a restaurant and essentially climb all over each other in front of everyone. But the food is delish!
Jerry ByrumMay 8, 2011The food here is fantastic!! Not your run of the mill Mexican place. Def worthy of return trips.
This place had awesome mexican food! The guacamole is fresh and tastes great!
Mike LewisAugust 23, 2013Worst dining experience in a long time! Server and hostess were rude. Food was not as advertised. Don't go here. Mi Mexico is way better in value, service and ambience!
Enchiladas Old West are the jam but add jalapeño!
Don't get the watermelon margaritas—they don't taste right and even our waiter tried to talk us out if it
Adan GonzalezJune 6, 2011of any mexican restaurant beans and rice are always good but not here dissapointed smh
Ruby T. DogAugust 23, 2013Not impressed. Server and host surly. Burrito puny. Chips not warm. Salsa nothing special. Left still hungry.

"Best theater in town. They have a great selection of movies, often ones that other theaters don't show. And you can have some beer or wine with your buttery popcorn. Doesn't get better than that."
