I ordered off the lunch menu: big fish tacos that come with refried black beans and green rice, chicken fajitas (to go) with borracho beans (my fav beans ever) and Mexican rice, birria tamales a la carte. All for under $50 including tip. The big fish taco was my least favorite, however, was still a good choice. I liked the sauce that comes with it. You've read my constant fajita reviews. Birria tamales are a great addition to the menu. Thank you Sharon for my message on my to go order. I really needed that today! The little things make the biggest difference. Forever loving my Phil Sandoval's family.

GONE, plate just cleaned. I chose the 1/2 of chicken chargrilled. It comes with a side of refried beans and rice. Everything tastes left over to me. Chicken got good spice, but this is very overcooked chicken, looks like 1/4 instead of 1/2. Service is Epic , as usual, but I am definitely going back to an old favorite next time. Y'all already know, I'll be back.

I initially went on the first day…read morethat they open but because I was craving a margarita and they didn't have their liquor license yet I ended up going across the street. So this has been on my list and I finally came here on a Thursday evening with my son. It's at the end of a shopping center where a Walmart is. We got there about 5:30 PM. It was not busy at all. We were promptly greeted by a hostess that sat us in a booth. We started off with the chips and salsa, but on the menu it does say after two baskets they will charge you for the chips and salsa. We only had one. The chip could've been a little thinner. It's rude to find a raspberry margarita so I wanted to get one unfortunately they didn't have any frozen ones. They were just on the rocks. I was pretty shocked when I looked at the receipt and saw that it was $17 for a Margarita and it definitely wasn't worth that much. It had kind of a weird taste to it. We did get the cheese dip and it was very delicious. I decided to try the Mexican lasagna, which was so delicious. I got it with the beef and it was layers of ground beef, pico beans, and possibly some rice too. It was a good portion and I ended up bringing the other half home. My son ended up getting nachos with shrimp, chicken and steak and he really enjoyed it and finished his whole plate. I will definitely be back sooner than later because I love some good Mexican food, but I will probably end up getting just a soda next time. Fernando was our waiter and he was very attentive. I will say the restaurant in the bathrooms were clean. There's only one bathroom each for men and women. I would think it a restaurant this big they would have more stalls.
