Sadly if this hadn't been attached to my hotel and if I hadn't been so tired and hungry from a long day of travel I would have gone elsewhere- learned my lesson next time power thru and dine somewhere else to eat.

Same "host" was our server. She started by trying to sell us on the buffet with was closing in 15 minutes. When we declined she took a another 15 min to come back to take our order. We weren't offered any chips and salsa (note for later) 30+ minutes later our food arrived. Both orders were missing items. While we were waiting for our rice and sauce for chicken, we noticed tables that came in after us getting chips and salsa when seated. When we asked our server, she said that we didn't get any because they were "making more chips" when we originally sat. Did she offer any when ready? Nope. Server never came back to check on our food or refill drinks. Had to track her down at the bar, again hanging out with co-workers, to pay our check. I'd give it a zero if I could. They must prey on first timers like us that don't know any better. Now we do.

We dined here for lunch yesterday and were very disappointed. When we walked in, we were met with…read morean unpleasant, musty smell. I know the building is old but still the smell was off-putting. We were seated and were given chips and salsa. The salsa was very good - that is what earned the 2 stars for this review. The chips were ok - on the thicker side but still ok. While perusing the menu, I found some of the menu prices to be a little ridiculous. For example, on the a la carte menu, a side of rice and refried beans was like $8.50? Yikes. Rice alone was $5 something? Ordinarily, rice and beans are inexpensive so the prices seemed a little high to me. My daughter ordered fajitas and I ordered the quesabirria taco platter that came with rice and beans because I figured for what they were charging for them, they must be something special. She ordered a Coke to drink and I ordered unsweetened iced tea. Her soda arrived completely flat - not one bubble to be found. My tea was undrinkable - it tasted of terrible, terrible tap water with no tea flavor whatsoever. I was surprised when our food arrived. I have ordered fajitas countless times from multiple restaurants and they are always served on a sizzling skillet. While the fajitas were served on a skillet, it was not the sizzling, steamy presentation found in other places. Instead, she was given a barely warm serving of small, rubbery shrimp along with standard fajita fare. We were there between lunch and dinner and there were only maybe 2 or 3 other tables so I don't understand why she wasn't served a fresh dish. She picked at what was on the skillet and was so unimpressed, she never even opened up the tortillas to make an actual fajita. Quesabirria tacos are my favorite and I was very much looking forward to them. I was disappointed in these as well. They were barely lukewarm and the cheese inside was not even melted. The dipping sauce was bland. I am very thankful that the rice and beans came with my platter instead of paying the high price of a la carte because both were not good. The beans were like a pureed soup and very loose/watery. The rice had no flavor. I ate about 1/2 of one taco and gave up. No, we did not complain or send the food back. I wrote it off as a one and done experience and knew I would never go back. The final insult was when I got the bill. On top of the high prices of the not so great food, they charged $4.50 for a flat Coke and $4.50 for an unsweetened "iced tea" that tasted of stale swamp water. I understand restaurant prices are rising but that seemed extreme to me. I was very much looking forward to trying this place as the other Mexican restaurants in the area are meh at best and was bummed to find this place even worse.

I order their birria and chicken fries more often than I want to admit, but both are incredibly delicious. Honestly even when I've gotten more adventurous on the menu it's been amazing. I love it here, the staff is nice but I've only ever gotten take out so I cannot vouch for the in person service. read more

My husband and I are both gluten-free so I requested corn tortillas with the two fajita dishes that we ordered. When the food arrived home, we realized that there were flour tortillas, not corn as requested. I immediately called the restaurant to let them know. The gentleman who pulled our ticket while I was on the phone said that it did not say corn tortillas - nothingelse, put me on hold and I ended up hanging up. I ordered the Texan fajita, which is a combination of steak, chicken and shrimp. It was flavorful, however, the steak was inedible. There were several pieces of grizzly meat that I could not cut with a sharp knife. Needless to say, I pretty disappointed. The story should end there, but I happen to be in the same strip mall as the restaurant today. So I decided to stop in to speak to the personally. In my conversation with the manager, it was revealed that this was the person I had spoken to on the phone. I politely told him about the steak in this fajita. I was not looking for a refund a coupon or anything like that. I really just wanted him to know so that he could make sure it did not happen to another customer. Instead of apologizing, and asking me how he could resolve this issue, he went on to defend their product, " we have many customers order this dish, and no one has ever complained". His response is why I am writing this review. He obviously did not learn that the "customer is always right", even when they might not be. At the very least he should have apologized and offered to make sure that it did not happen again by speaking with the kitchen staff. Based upon our experience, this will be the first and last time that we will eat in or from this restaurant.

As for the food: for starters, too much salt in their cooking. Salt should enhance and no more. They went a bit heavy.

There was also a burrito that should have been pork, but was chicken. The chicken tamale was not good at all, and went unfinished. We asked for both the red and green salsa, 2 small containers were provided. (picture enclosed) The red had decent spice, green was flavorful. Lastly was the grease....ye gods, was this greasy. (pic enclosed showing some) Some people liked this place, so maybe our experience was an aberration. I won't chance it.
