    I often go here for breakfast (they have the best breakfast taco deal), lunch, or dinner! I love…read morethat there's a drive-thru because it's so convenient. The ladies are very nice and always get the food out quickly. The breakfast tacos are great, and I do think the fajita tacos and quesadilla are pretty delicious as well. Their red and green salsas are the bomb!

    We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.

    Full disclosure, I've only had one thing on their menu, because this dish is that dang good. My…read morereview is on this dish because it's all I come here for: the Mexican Bowl!! It is the best Mexican dish I've ever had of it's kind. Their green sauce dip for the chips is also fantastic. I LOVE ordering extra green sauce for the Mexican Bowl. The Mexican Bowl is perfect on it's own, but their green sauce takes it to a whole 'nother level. I adore the Mexican Bowl for it's flavor, quantity and ingredients. Let's start with the protein. I get the beef. Their beef is everything to me. How can food be everything? I've never had beef this good in my life - except in my childhood when staying at my Mexican grandmother's house. Hence, you can imagine my face, and heart, when I took a bite of their beef!! Core memories unlocked. Ah, the things food can do. The Mexican Bowl isn't spicy either, which is perfect for me. I'm that oddball Latina that can't have food spicier than pico de gallo! Also, the mix of veggies, protein, etc, are just the right portions. Nothing over powers the other. The flavor in my mouth with each bite is like the very first. I highly recommend the Mexican Bowl, consider some green sauce on the side, if you're seeking a great, light, healthy, tasty Mexican dish. At least for me, it's more than a great dish.

    Place is going down the tubes once again. The company screwed its vendor and there is NO BEER!! The…read moreshrimp and Quesadillas order totally screwed up. Short quesadilla 3 not 4 sections. No sauces lemon or cilantro nothing that it is supposed to come with. Complained and it's been fixed. Other regular patrons are pissed and ready like us to go elsewhere once again. What's so stood is this place has a good business model but they continue to F" it up. Oh what difference does it make if you have the TVs working and screw up the rest of your business.
