    I stopped here during one of my visits to Marion. It was highly recommended to me by an elderly…read morelocal and the reviews looked good in Yelp. The place looked great, and I had high expectations. But after one visit, that was my last. Bleh! First, they had not the friendliest staff. They were all chatting with each other and not very friendly to the customer. Not very attentive to the customer either. Wth? Where is the Mexican pride and Mexican warmth?? For this alone, I give them a 1 star. 0 if I could. I was born in Mexico, so I know good Mexican food. In my opinion, the food was very TexMex. More Tex than Mex, if you catch my drift (did they get all their food from Sysco??). I found the food to be quite insipid. The salsa tasted like it came out of a can, lacking the amazing flavors that generally give Mexican food that oomf. The fajitas were nicely presented, and the meat was good, but the accompanying rice and beans were not very tasty. Come on dudes, where's the pride in the food? Where is the Mexican seasoning?? Where is the Mexican love??? I was extremely disappointed. I guess the appeal of the place is the alcohol. But as a traditionalist who loves good Mexican food, I give this place a 1 for the taste of the food. I didn't partake in alcohol since I was just driving through. The only redeeming grace of this place was the decor and ambiance. They get a 4 or a 5. So, if you factor in the 1 for service, the 1 for the food, and the 5 for decor, I give them 3 stars. It is unlikely I'll be back here again.

The menu claimed to be authentic, but the flavors didn't deliver -- honestly, I could've made this at home better but I was here for work. Hard to find the true authenticity I was expecting. Definitely not what I hoped for left food there !

    I've been eating here for 7 years. The last 3 of 4…read morevisits...they weren't right; but I let them slide... Tonight after a 5.5hr drive back from Chicago. Tired, hungry...just wanted to eat. I specifically asked for Fernando to serve me (I saw he was there)...speaks perfect English and always gets my order right. I was denied his service because it was close to closing time (30-minutes) - I arrived at 9:30. I asked for a half order of "perfect chicken" and a guacamole salad. She (the other server) told me that it would be a $4 upcharge. "It's just a dollop of guac" she said. I showed her on the menu where it came with the Pollo Mexicano (close enough). She just shrugged her shoulders. So I decided not to get it...it would've been wrong anyway. I got the bill for $10, the menu says 1/2 order is $9...so I made her go get a menu and show her. Second time this has happened. Later Fernando asked me to pre-pay my bill to close out the register. Then another server came by and asked to take my plate away...I said "I'm not quite finished" (never asked if I wanted a to go box) she pulled out her iPhone and showed me that it was 10:01. I paid...I left my military discount card on the plate under broccoli and cheese sauce. 15% off isn't worth being treated like shit!

    The only good thing that I could say about this restaurant is the drinks were amazing the best…read moreflavored lemonade that you can get anywhere around the food on the buffet definitely not up to temperature standards for food safety and sanitation Observed an employee going on to the buffet bare handing product without using utensils this is unsafe very unsanitary and flat out disgusting Upon exit there is no signs for stating where the restrooms are at I had to ask for the restrooms were at and upon going in to use the rest in the restroom was even worse than the food was very disgusting very unhealthy it needs about a 3-day bleaching process to make it sanitary unfortunately we will not be stepping foot into that establishment ever again.

    We had high hopes after seeing Chipotle's ads. This was our first time to a Chipotle. Hopefully…read moreit's just this location that's bad. The food was not fresh we got chicken bowls and the meat had obviously been there awhile. Tables dirty, floors dirty and the drink station was sticky, trash on the floor. We went early so I'm guessing it hadn't been cleaned before they opened. Will try a different location but definitely won't try Marion again too many other restaurants to choose from

    We came in yesterday 9/20/2025 right before 5:00 p.m…read more There was only 1 customer ahead of us already checked out. There was 1 employee making food and cashing out customers. There were 3 other employees chatting. 1 seemed to be manning the grill, but the other 2 seemed to be doing less urgent items and didn't seem interested in helping the girl. It took longer than it should to be waited on. All of the food items on the bar seemed to be low or old. There was a fly I noticed that landed on the cold items at the end. There was only one other couple sitting in the place. The entire place was a mess. Behind the counter hadn't been cleaned up. The drink station was a disaster with ice and liquid everywhere. Trash was in the floor. Not a single table was clean, inside or outside. If this is the attitude of employees and appearance of the restaurant to customers, it makes me wonder how bad the sanitary condition and quality of food really is.

    Oh boy, where to start. I guess I'll begin with the positive things about this place; the…read morebartenders/servers (they're the same people) are friendly...and that's pretty much it. There are QR codes on the bar for the beer menu. It isn't accurate, they're out of several. I was told by a staff member (again, it's hard to tell who fills what role so I'll just call them staff members from here on) that they are "locked out" of that account so I should check the board behind the bar. The board lists the flavor and usually the type of beer. It does not list the manufacturer or really any other details. At this point I ordered a beer and the chicken nachos. I received the beer promptly. I finished that one, then another. Still no nachos. After an hour+ and 3 beers, I cashed out and left. At least they never tried to charge me for the nachos. I witnessed numerous dishes returned to the kitchen. There were 2, sometimes 3 staff members for the entire bar and dining room. All were friendly but seemed inexperienced. I witnessed at least 2 on their phones at some point. Last but not least, the atmosphere. The place could be really amazing. When I was there, the bar was sticky. 3 of the lights above the bar were burned out and the fixtures, obviously intended for old looking filament bulbs had bright LEDs installed giving the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. The recessed can style lighting in the rest of the establishment wasn't much better. The stools at the bar are seriously worn. It's almost worth visiting for the spectacle...almost. Update: they did charge me for the nachos. I misread the receipt that night.
