The asada taco was a bit lackluster though: the meat was tough and not well seasoned. They have a large salsa bar with many salsas and fresh veggie toppings. Ambiance is fine, spacious & a good number of tables inside. Service was fast & friendly. There are parking spots in front of the restaurant. 7/10 would recommend, at least the gorditas!

Will NEVER come in this S Hole ever again! Then the good came. The burger was an underwhelming version of a frozen Bubba Burger hockey puck. I love a good burger. Trust me, don't order one here. Wife ordered snapper fish tacos but shrimp tacos made it out to the table. Only three small shrimp and tons of jalapeno peppers. She informed the staff, as they don't have servers, that the order was wrong. Thank goodness we had are receipt as the attitude was like we needed to prove it. It took forever for the correct order to arrive. But to give them something positive the wife said they were good. We both felt something is off in this place. The staff doesn't care. Very surprised they get a decent review from others. There are way better choices than this place. Big disappointment!

A solid "American Mexican food" restaurant. No complaints…read more ACP checked all the boxes-- decent rice, moist and well seasoned chicken, plenty of cheese sauce.

I chose to try the maple bacon wings . Guys , I could eat a bucket of these !! They come out golden brown , lightly crisped on the outside and super tender smoked chicken meat on the inside . The dry rub - maple complement each other immensely well, you get salty , you get sweet, you get maple syrup smells , it's an A+ experience in addition to the warm safe ambiance .
