    a plate of mexican food
    Doug B.

    Your standard Mexican fare here, but it just didn't have that "wow" factor and delicious taste. In fact, the food tasted rather bland and could have definitely used some more seasoning. My burrito didn't quite hit home like I wanted it to- was rather tasteless! But on the positive side: the chips were very good, salsa did the trick, and I certainly got full. If I came again I'd just try something different- I'm sure there are plenty of other options out there on the menu that would be great!

    I believe the name means "The Colt," though the staff had better keep the place clean, or the name will quickly morph into something less flattering simply by changing a letter or two. I'm going easy on them for several reasons: 5.) It's relatively new, having opened in April, 4.) The construction traffic at the nearby I-55 interchange must be negatively impacting their accessibility and visibility, 3.) Today's dishes, shrimp enchiladas and chicken nachos, were presented well and tasted good, 2.) The server was more respectful and friendly than almost anyone else I met on this hottest day of the year, and 1.) The guacamole was fresh, chunky, and full of cilantro.

    Took a little while to get our food to the table but as always the food is terrific, my Margaritas were perfectly made.

    Authentic seats.

    See all

    Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Our orders were very tasty, hot, and came out in a very short time. Great value for the price.

    Excellent food, service. Had lunch here and will definitely be back. Huge portions. Chips and salsa great with a little kick from Cholula.

    The food is good. The seating is not very comfortable, and the margaritas come from a mix. They are not freshly made.

    Bland, and the fish tacos were made with crumbled up fish sticks. Good queso dip though
