    Came here for dinner with a large group. The place was definitely busier than usual, and it showed--service was noticeably slow. Our waiter was friendly but seemed pretty distracted, which led to several mix-ups with our orders. I asked for corn tortillas and got flour instead, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the fresh table-side guacamole was delicious--definitely the highlight of the meal! Unfortunately, the chips served with it weren't the best--kind of stale and not very flavorful. Overall, a mixed experience. Might give it another shot on a less hectic night.

    This place is a Hidden Gem! Attached to a hotel and is a little inconspicuous, but step inside and this place is awesome! The decor in here is constantly improving with every trip here as well! Service is always incredibly friendly and quick! And let's get to the food!! The Handmade fresh guacamole right in front of you is always Superb! So good! Highly recommend!! I usually get the Taco's Rancho. They're also incredible! Overall highly recommend a trip here. It's so unassuming by outside appearances but trust me, worth the stop!

    The moment I walked in the atmosphere was great, the place was clean, and spacious. Our appetizers was the Guacamole Large with chips which was awesome because it made in front of you tasted even better. I tried all 7 of their tacos and they were delicious made how street tacos are supposed to be made. The other dish we was the flautas which was good but a little dry. Service was great reminded me of Arizona. Definitely recommend.

    Food was very good. Our party ordered Street Tacos, nachos, and fajitas. Everyone was very pleased with their food which was very authentic. I highly recommend the table service guacamole which was outstanding. Biggest negative was the very loud Hispanic Carnval music. The volume made it very difficult to communicate with people at our table and servers. Service a little on the slower side and a few smaller mistakes with what was ordered. Overall very good.

    This used to be my favorite place until today. My family and I went there to celebrate my brother's birthday and I noticed a bug crawling around on my sister's food. My sister instantly got up and went to the staff and informed them that there's a bug in her food. The waiter then grabbed my sister's food and left, never told any of his staff or his manager what happened. I immediately told my children to stop eating their food. Sat and waited for 10 minutes, still no one came to our table to discuss what just happened. My dad goes back up to the counter and requested the manager to speak with him and she had the audacity to say it was just a beetle and she doesn't know how it got into the food. I'm sorry but there's no way that it was a beetle, it most definitely was a roach and she is trying to cover their asses! Never coming here again!!!

    The service was really good. I ordered the table side guacamole and the street taco platter (2 chicken 2 steak) Overall the food was pretty good. The only down side was that my chicken was over cooked which made it really hard. But I would definitely give it another try. I got the large guacamole. Didn't realize it was that huge lol. Surprisingly, I almost ate it all.

    Chile rejeno with beef

    Melted white American cheese in soggy flour tortillas. That's supposed to be a cheese enchilada. The service is great- the table side guacamole and chips are delicious. The rest is gloppy and inedible.

Same "host" was our server. She started by trying to sell us on the buffet with was closing in 15 minutes. When we declined she took a another 15 min to come back to take our order. We weren't offered any chips and salsa (note for later) 30+ minutes later our food arrived. Both orders were missing items. While we were waiting for our rice and sauce for chicken, we noticed tables that came in after us getting chips and salsa when seated. When we asked our server, she said that we didn't get any because they were "making more chips" when we originally sat. Did she offer any when ready? Nope. Server never came back to check on our food or refill drinks. Had to track her down at the bar, again hanging out with co-workers, to pay our check. I'd give it a zero if I could. They must prey on first timers like us that don't know any better. Now we do.

However it benefited us because we received superb and attentive service. The food was prompt, hot and delicious. Our drinks were perfect and plentiful.

    We dined here for lunch yesterday and were very disappointed. When we walked in, we were met with…read morean unpleasant, musty smell. I know the building is old but still the smell was off-putting. We were seated and were given chips and salsa. The salsa was very good - that is what earned the 2 stars for this review. The chips were ok - on the thicker side but still ok. While perusing the menu, I found some of the menu prices to be a little ridiculous. For example, on the a la carte menu, a side of rice and refried beans was like $8.50? Yikes. Rice alone was $5 something? Ordinarily, rice and beans are inexpensive so the prices seemed a little high to me. My daughter ordered fajitas and I ordered the quesabirria taco platter that came with rice and beans because I figured for what they were charging for them, they must be something special. She ordered a Coke to drink and I ordered unsweetened iced tea. Her soda arrived completely flat - not one bubble to be found. My tea was undrinkable - it tasted of terrible, terrible tap water with no tea flavor whatsoever. I was surprised when our food arrived. I have ordered fajitas countless times from multiple restaurants and they are always served on a sizzling skillet. While the fajitas were served on a skillet, it was not the sizzling, steamy presentation found in other places. Instead, she was given a barely warm serving of small, rubbery shrimp along with standard fajita fare. We were there between lunch and dinner and there were only maybe 2 or 3 other tables so I don't understand why she wasn't served a fresh dish. She picked at what was on the skillet and was so unimpressed, she never even opened up the tortillas to make an actual fajita. Quesabirria tacos are my favorite and I was very much looking forward to them. I was disappointed in these as well. They were barely lukewarm and the cheese inside was not even melted. The dipping sauce was bland. I am very thankful that the rice and beans came with my platter instead of paying the high price of a la carte because both were not good. The beans were like a pureed soup and very loose/watery. The rice had no flavor. I ate about 1/2 of one taco and gave up. No, we did not complain or send the food back. I wrote it off as a one and done experience and knew I would never go back. The final insult was when I got the bill. On top of the high prices of the not so great food, they charged $4.50 for a flat Coke and $4.50 for an unsweetened "iced tea" that tasted of stale swamp water. I understand restaurant prices are rising but that seemed extreme to me. I was very much looking forward to trying this place as the other Mexican restaurants in the area are meh at best and was bummed to find this place even worse.
