Good music that's not too loud and nice ambiance, but the star here is the food. I ordered the Carnitas and a margarita. Both were delicious.

She raves about both. Will definitely return!!

The salsa was very watery and lacked any real flavor beyond tomato juice. There were no discernible traces of onion, chiles, garlic, and only tiny faint pieces of something green...dried cilantro perhaps? The tortilla chips were a bit chewy and more than a few tasted of rancid oil. The cheese sauce we ordered to have with the chips was likewise very watery and lacking any flavor. Salty milk is a pretty accurate description. Our carne asada was dry and completely devoid of seasoning except salt. The only item with any spice, the chile relleno, had a very thick cakey batter that was soggy and unappetizing. The burrito sauce was strongly reminiscent of Best Choice brand tomato soup. The hosts and wait staff were helpful and knowledgeable, so I can't blame them at all. Everything else about this place is way below par. Arbor Manor was closed this week as was the BBQ place in town, so it was this place or Sonic. I kinda wish we chose the latter.

We had a party of six but two guys running the place already had two huge parties taking up all the tables so we waited for one party to finish up and they cleaned off tables for us. Chips and salsa were great. I ordered 3 taco meal with beans and rice. Many places have ground beef with little to no flavor and hope the lettuce, cheese and salsa adds enough flavor. Not this place, these tacos needed nothing to stand on their own. Beans and rice were solid but not 5 worthy. Definitely try this place.
