Hector's has the best top shelf margaritas around. Their food is constant (not great, not bad), as…read moreI have my favorite few items I order all the time. Their salsa has a nice garlic- heat finish but their chips can we stale at times (just tell them and they will bring you more). Wish the owners would visit MiCocina's in Dallas area and see how they do their nachos, create their sunset sauce, mamma's tacos and chicken cohongos. Would like to see more variations on the menu. The wait staff are always nice and most of the time very attentive. This is where we get our Tex-Mex fix.

I have been here many times, and this is by far the worst experience I have had here. There were a…read morefew good things like the chip and queso, the beef fajita, lemonade, and the entertainment. However, half of our party was not served their food, and had to go get food somewhere else. Also, the servers were very hard to get a hold of, if you needed something. But one of the better Mexican restaurants in town.

I was unsure of this place due to ratings but love to eat at family run local establishments…read more Everything about this was amazing. The waitstaff was great and gave us ample time. The prices on meals and specials were unbelievable. Our food was at the very top of our best Mexican food ever and closely resembled our all time favorite in taste. We both had top shelf margaritas for $7.99. They were really good too. We plan to eat here more times before we leave the area. The prices here make it comparable to buying things to cook at home. We also liked it that the tables were far enough apart that the noise level was low. This is a hidden gem.

Chicken lacked flavor. Vegetables were definitely from a frozen bag...needed some more love. Peyt had the tres salsas fajita burrito - it was alright. Beef was tender. Sauces were good. Chicken quesadilla was standard. Rice and beans were average. Would go back. Except choose your seat wisely - they have several flickering lights and headaches soon followed us sitting down until we moved.

They do ask if it's cash are charge so maybe their trying to force everybody to carry cash and not use their bank debit card. It would be nice to know what your price is when you order something from the menu an what your actually going to pay for it at the register. (would just like to know what my service charge was for)

Fancy nachos are a big hit. Each nacho is loaded...it's not a mound of chips. Got the chicken....he…read moreloved them. Got the queso with beef. A little thick, but still good. They have a "hotter salsa" if you ask for it. Brisket tacos were delicious. Rice is a little bland, but added some salsa and it was good. He got the guiso verde with beef. He was happy, beef was good. Not really that spicy but he said it was pretty good. Overall, this place has good food. Service can be spotty.

If I could leave a - minus - star review I would! The Chile Releno tasted nasty and the cheese…read moresauce tasted nasty and was like watered down chicken broth. It was totally the worst experience I've ever encountered and they wanted us to pay 50%, Picture shows what could not be eaten, total bill $40. The lady's working couldn't make a decision and we said we have to leave and you need to make a decision when all of a sudden let's make you pay 50% and they threatened the cops, if we left without paying. We're almost 70 and newlyweds and way past senior discount yrs that started some 17 yrs ago and to be treated in such a manor, when we could not eat the meal presented! It's was around 5 pm and I'm a diabetic and that turned out to be the only lunch I had. IT WAS NOT EDIBLE! Too much blue on the inside dining, too much noise from grinding ice for margaritas. The whole experience was autistically, PTSD, ADHD, ADD, schizophrenically challenging, to name a few!!

The staff was incredibly helpful with finding things that I could have on the menu. Our server was very willing to ask the chef any questions I had about ingredients and sauces. You can get any of the pasta dishes they can make them with gluten free pasta upon request along with getting any handhelds on a gluten free bun. I landed on the Poke Bowl, I subtracted the aioli and ponzu because they were not gluten free. I removed the picked ginger out of my personal preference. To replace the sauces I removed I asked for a cup of their apple vinaigrette and it paired incredibly well with everything in the bowl.
