    I travel a lot and look for restaurants like this. Friendly staff, big portions and good food. Very modest prices!

    I had a dinner with friends here. There's many tables to choose from and many parking options…read morearound the area as well. I ordered the Carne Asada, which is usually my "go to" when I eat at a mexican restaurant. Wait time wasn't so bad. The chips and salsa were good too, the tortilla chips were crunchy and salsa was flavorful. But unfortunately, my Carne Asada fell flat. I asked the beef to be cooked at medium but the beef was tough and overcooked. I was surprised at how dry it was. There were some pieces of the beef that were decent, but overall just too overcooked and dry for me. It was pretty disappointing actually for my first time here. Service was great, they were attentive and checked up on us from time to time. I just felt like the Carne Asada price at $17.99 did not correlate with the quality of meat at all. The other sides were good, like the avocado, beans and rice. And the overall portion size was great too. But for the dish as a whole, I can't justify the price for that. I've been to other mexican restaurants in the area with better Carne Asada that I'd choose in a heartbeat. Despite that experience, I'd come back here but I'd definitely order something else.

    I've been to this place too many times to count, and boy is it amazing. Food is top notch, the…read morewaiters act like they've known you forever, politest of almost anybody. And the atmosphere is great, not too big, not too small of a restaurant, great place!

    Not a lot of Mexican restaurants that I trust in Chattanooga due to lack of flavor and authenticity…read morebut this one is very good! Lots of flavor and good service. Waiters very nice. Coming from a Mexican. Highly recommend.

    I've spent years in this town as a college student and after, yet for some reason I've never had…read morethe opportunity to eat here before. So finally after all these years, I came here with my dad. Service was fast and helpful. There are many tables and places to sit. They have a large menu too. I ordered the Beef Chimichangas with all the sides, and my dad had the Chicken Fajitas. Food came out pretty quick. I will say, the portion size is incredible. The price is reasonable depending on the time you come for lunch or dinner, and they give you so much. For me, I love all the sides and some places tend to give a meager amount, but not this place. And they didn't even cheap out on the guacamole amount too. I had some to take home at the end, so I was happy about that. Although the food was decent and plentiful, I will say that it lacked flavor for me. It wasn't amazing in comparison to all the Mexican places I've tried around the area. And also I guess from eating Mexican food in California, I have a high standard. Like I reiterated before, great portion size but a little disappointing regarding the flavor. It felt like it was missing something, maybe a little salt but also something more that I can't put my finger on. I'm not sure if I would come back.

I guess they're small b/c of how little meat they put in them. I have boys with an appetite, and they looked at the 3 tiny birria tacos in the box and laughed. They were still hungry after they ate their meals. Not much food for a lot of $$$. My kids commented they'd need to go to Taco Bell later. I don't think we'll be back.

That being said, the last two times I went, the food was entirely wrong. One time, I was given entirely the wrong order. The next time, the quesadillas were missing all of the ingredients we paid extra for. Rather than remaking the food properly, we had to prove the items weren't included and then we were given little containers with some of the ingredients to add on ourselves. It wasn't the same as if it were prepared and cooked together. The owner is unhelpful and watches while his staff flounders. Speaking of staff, it's one really lovely girl trying to run the entire front end by herself while the owner watches on. Before these last two experiences, I raved about the food.
