Seems to be limited by parking (which I saw an overflow dirt lot on the side/in back). The food was delicious. Chips/salsa for all. Loved the level of spice.

He was very sweet and helped us navigate the MASSIVE menu with recommendations. There's free chips and salsa, we ended up ordering queso as well, which was very good. Our food was also massive and not a single one of us could finish! My friend, however, did have her tacos come with a few extra toppings she did not order and she did not mention it. But our waiter was very attentive in asking if the food was to our liking and what else we wanted or needed to enjoy the outing. Bathroom situation is not the best (and only two stalls) but everything else seems clean and kept up with! It definitely was on the slower end and took some time but the food on my end had no complaints, just also not something I need to go back to.

" One Hour Later" So I approached the hostess with no attitude only an inquisitive question on how much longer and she said she didn't know. I mean like as in I don't care. She never looked or apologized...not even an excuse. So I asked for a manager and we were seated immediately. I expect spit in my food. This will be my last visit here. Be warned.... Also I'd give it a negative stars if I could. Service is the cornerstone of any restaurant.

The murals on the walls are gorgeous. My husband & I shared the loaded bean dip appetizer. It was really good. Watch out for those peppers though! Sheesh! For drinks I ordered a Boss Margarita. It was great & tasted like a real deal authentic margarita & not one made with a sugary mix. Only $7.49. Hubby ordered a 32 oz Yuengling. It was $11.99 which was a bit pricey in our opinion. He didn't realize it was that expensive until he saw the check. Our server was Paco. He was very friendly. I also chatted with a lady named Candy that worked there as well. She was very sweet. We'll definitely be back again soon.

We however opted to eat inside. Our server was very "on top of it" but the food literally took forever: almost an hour. They owned it and explained there was an issue with the tickets not coming through to the kitchen and apologized profusely. When the food finally came our server brought us to go boxes as she knew we wouldn't have too much time as we were having to stop off at the airport. I have to admit the meal was VERY TASTY, I'm still thinking about it and I can't wait to go back again! I'm never this excited about Mexican food as I usually find it just ok but their veggie burrito with a side of rice and that cheese sauce on top was legit excellent, very full of flavor. The margaritas are huge!! Despite the kitchen mishap we are going back. Thank you for owning it & making things right. Ps the rice is very tasty!

Muchas Gracias to Jeniffer our awesome server for being so attentive, filling up our chips and sauce dips and to the rest of the staff, we will definitely be back here as it is quite a chillax pot to have Mexican food y drinks!

Greeted and sat right away- 5 of us. Hostess nice, server nice. Right away had two large bowls of chips and two types of salsa brought to us. Chips were good, just added salt. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. And we were patient, super patient. It was a Friday, but it was not overly crowded, like I said - seated immediately around 7:40. Drinks, took over 30 minutes for a pineapple one and three skinny- we joked the food would arrive first, but we were very wrong. Then, the waitress waited for us to try- I think it was a newer person at the bar. We tried to like it, but somehow it tasted like flat sprite.our server took them away and made us them herself. Now, those were great. Small side of guac was brought after that- meant to go with the meal, but we were so hungry we just ate with the chips. It was very good- fresh tasting. Then we waited. And waited some more. Asked about the food, then waited some more. Finally, we cut our losses and asked for the check minus the food that never came. The band was starting next door and we wanted to celebrate the bday girl. Pic 1, text just after 8pm- shows me joking that I was going to eat my friends food since she was headed over from next door and taking a bit and we had ordered 10 minutes prior. Pic 2, text shows us giving up- 9pm. So over an hour wait on food that never arrived - even if busy that would be a deal breaker. We were excited to try it too- disappointed.
