    I read some of the earlier reviews and most are spot on. This is more of a dive than a restaurant. The music is way too loud for a place to eat and enjoy your meal. The food is mediocre at best and I feel it's over priced. Hand made tortillas are decent. I was surprised that if you want "casamiento" instead of rice and beans they charge you extra. I mean casamiento is rice and beans mixed together!!!!! WTF???!!!! I was here for breakfast and before 11 the drunks had arrived and gave a good indication of this restaurant's customer base. Definitely not family friendly, at least not on a Saturday morning. I know at night they play music and have dancing. I think the reason they stay in business isn't the food, but more because of the booze sales and dive bar status in the neighborhood. My rating is really 2 1/2 stars. As such I won't be eating here again. Oooh and the kicker, they charge you extra for using plastic. In this age and day if a business charges their customers a fee for using a card to pay then they don't want my business.

    Food is desent, slow service. Waitress is nice. Not much of a family restaurant more of a dive bar type of atmosphere.
