The salsa was ok, nothing special but also not bad. I ordered a margarita to drinks. Wasn't a bad margarita but did have an interesting after taste. For my entree I had the Chimichanga with Fajita Steak. The tortilla was fried well and topped with queso. However the steak was so dried out and burnt, it was bad. I did eat it, mainly because I only saw my server when she took my order, brought my margarita and brought my check. She didn't stop by during my meal which is my other complaint. The service was non existent. She was carrying on a long conversation with the table behind me but didn't come by until my meal was done. I would say I also get aggravated with establishments that charge as much if not more than other restaurants and they have the audacity to add a credit card fee. It was on my check before I was even asked how I was paying. I know restaurants have to pay a fee but that is a cost of doing business and should be worked into the pricing. It's not like the prices were cheaper than eating anywhere else. I may consider going back but I'd prefer to drive a bit further and go to Poblano's instead.

Have lived 11 miles from Mexico for the last 12 years and this "food" is sub par. Service was not good as well. Sat down and had to ask for silverware and napkins multiple times because she only brought one napkin each. When asked what we would like to drink, I said Dos Equis draft and she begins to tell me how all their CO2 had leaked down and draft was not available. Ok, Asked what bottled beer they had and she said all they had was Corona. Getting ready to leave and saw other patrons drinking other beers. The other waitress tells me they have all kinds of bottled beer. Molcajete was mostly a pile of rice and beans. Meat was scant and overcooked. It came with 4 whole shrimp with heads on and poop shoot intact, No thanks. The Cotijas cheese was cold and when I told her it should be fried on the grill she tells me the cook just sliced it "fresh", thats why it's cold. Nopales was pre-gilled and cold as well. Their salsa picosa was runny and not hot. Ambiance was something akin to a 1960's truck stop.

Employees stood around on their phones. The food was "OK". Their redeeming factor is that they had a full bar, beer, wine, and liquor. There were only 2 other couples, and I sat alone at the bar. The bartender, too, was on his phone. Three servers spoke in Spanish, which I know makes many Americans uncomfortable! This is America, where we speak ENGLISH to assimilate as our forefathers all did with pride! The final straw for me was that the double doors on the right side were locked when I began to leave after eating! Those doors need to be unlocked during business hours! It is a Fire code violation to have it locked! I will wait until November to go back - if they are still around! As I said pricey for mexican food!

Since they are angled, you can only get to the ones near the entrance you use. There is a lot more parking behind the building. I didn't notice specific handicapped spaces, but you'll want to park in front if you have mobility issues. We entered through the front door. The foyer is brightly lit and colorful. We were greeted on entering and told we could sit anywhere. There is seating on either side, as well as down several steps to the bar area, which also has booth seating. The tables are closely spaced, so it would be difficult to maneuver if it was crowded but we were the only customers on our side. Initially, the background music was rather loud, so we picked a spot away from speakers. The music was later turned down to a manageable level. Our server came for our drink order right away. FYI, they did not have unsweet tea. He returned with our drinks quickly, but we needed more time to decide what we wanted to order. The menu is a mix of Honduran, Salvadoran, and Mexican. Most items are explained on the menu, but we also had to ask our server about several items. We decided on the Tajadas con Pollo (plantains with chicken), the Baleadas Especialies (sort of a burrito but folded instead of rolled), and an order of pupusas (pork and cheese, jalapeno and cheese, and loroco, a salvadoran flower). The Tajedas con pollo was a full plate of food. The protein was about a 1/3 section of chicken on a bed of plantains. There was also slaw and a nice pico. Although the chicken was a bit dry, the flavor was excellent. The plantains were nicely cooked, and the pico had a solid spicy bite. The Baleadas Especiales comes folded in a large tortilla, although the tortilla has a different consistency than a typical Mexican-style tortilla. It is more robust and takes a knife to cut if you want to eat it that way. Otherwise, just pick it up like a burrito. I selected beef as the protein, and it was excellent. Fillings also included avocado and a scrambled egg. This was more than filling, and very tasty. The pupusas were wonderful as well. The pork and jalapeno fillings were flavorful. The loroco was interesting. It had a veggie taste, but with a more earthy flavor. I would certainly order this again. We also found they have a drive through along the side of the building. There is also an entrance there as well, so if you park in the rear you do not need to come to the front of the building to enter. This restaurant is a great addition to the Johnson City restaurant scene. The flavors are different from the typical Mexican spices. The menu is definitely worth exploring.
