The interior is traditional mexican themed. Our server showed up a few minutes later to drop off menus and take our drink order. The menu is extensive, mexican. After giving the menu a good read over, I opted for the street tacos, three. Along with an order of queso dip and fresh guacamole. Both were good and just enough to go along with my lunch without being over the top. The tacos were very good, the right size for street style. Flavorful and tasty with cilantro, limes and diced onions. My lunch definitely worked for me the day of my visit. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the good street tacos 01141

It was a colorful place, like many in the area and while the service was attentive the food was just okay. My wife and I decided a beer would the thing to drink and we order large beers....turns out this large beer was a LARGE BEER! Like 32 oz....lol, we both stared at the gigantic mugs and laughed. The issue is the food just was mediocre on flavor and content. My combo of a beef taco in a hard shell was cracked all the way on the back, but I was able to eat it, just no flavor. The chicken quesadilla was flavored only with salt. No hot sauce on the table.

We were part of a larger party of couples, approximately 12-14 people in total. Space was reserved in advance on the covered patio which was ready early for the party and the staff was happy to seat us and get drinks started. Overall the restaurant was very clean as well as the restrooms. The reason for 3-stars is I rate Mexican restaurants on three main dishes which should always be outstanding; Al Pastor, Carnitas, and sizzling Fajitas. If there is a failure with any ONE of these menu items the highest rating I can give is 3-stars! For starters the salsa was bland no taste, no hint of cilantro or spice. Some previous reviews mentioned the chips were thin, I didn't find that to be the case during my visit. They were fresh and warm. The fajitas were great, probably some of the best we've had in years. They were well seasoned and the steak & chicken was very tender. The veggies still had some crunch and weren't overcooked. However, there was no guacamole and a small squirt of sour cream. The rice didn't have any flavor on it, no salt..nothing!, But the beans were nicely seasoned and we were glad the beans didn't have cheese on them. However, we had to request the flour tortillas several times. The Carnitas were tender but had absolutely no flavor or seasoning whatsoever. They were just chunks of fried pork tips in grease, probably fried in vegetable oil not the traditional lard and obviously not with sour orange and seasonings. There wasn't a grilled jalapeño or even any pico de gallo on the side, they were very disappointing. We couldn't find Al Pastor anywhere on the menu. And speaking of the menu it was very large with way too many items. You can't possibly do all of these items justice. I recommend they scale the menu down and do a superb job on the customer "favorites" while offering seasonal items for a limited time.

I also tried their tasty Jamaica juice, which is hibiscus, and I've heard many good things about their horchata.
