The food was good, service was quick, and the workers were very nice. My only 'complaint' is that the queso seemed a little watered down/ liquidy. I guess that's a personal preference but it didn't taste very cheesy and was not thick enough for my liking, at least!

We went twice and had a few different dishes (Fajitas, Quesadilla & Texas Dip) and they all were great. The Texas Dip was a meal in itself and I loved it. The real star is the staff - they were all amazing and it's obvious they have fun at their job which is rare to see. A special call out to the Bartenders, as we sat at the bar both times - they were so kind and helpful. If we lived in the area this would be a regular stop for us.. sadly we live about 8 hours away. To anyone in Commerce, I highly recommend it for a fun, casual, delicious and fairly priced meal.

We decided to try this newly remodeled restaurant on a Friday night. The space looks beautiful, and…read morethe evening started off well--but unfortunately, the service at the end completely ruined the experience. When placing our order, we asked if the shrimp in the Pollo à la Piña could be replaced with an extra side of chicken. Our server said we would be charged an additional fee for the chicken, which we understood--but he also refused to remove the cost of the shrimp we were not getting. When we questioned this, his response was simply, "that's not how it's done." We let it go and continued with dinner. About 30 minutes went by, and our server never checked on us once. When we needed the bill, we had to ask another waiter to find him. Even then, it took another 15 minutes, during which our server walked past our table visibly upset and ignored us--even when I politely tried to get his attention. When he finally brought the check, he said nothing. After running the card, he returned and literally tossed the receipt onto the table without a single word--not even a "thank you" or "good night." It was a very disappointing experience. The restaurant itself has great potential, and it's clear a lot of effort went into the remodel. However, service like this overshadows everything. As a business owner, I understand how challenging operations can be--but as a customer, this level of service is simply unacceptable. Unfortunately, we won't be returning

Chorizo taco was chorizo in a double corn tortilla with a side of onion, cilantro and parsley and a cup of sauce - perfect! So simple yet so good.
