My server was extremely nice and attentive I should have gotten his name. The food was delicious. I got the fajitas plate that normally comes with steak, chicken, shrimp and chorizo I think its called the Fogon. I skipped the steak. Had them add more chorizo and let me tell you, it was sooooooo good. Their margaritas are huge, I chose the Watermelon which was probably the best I've had. Chips and salsa are not my favorite but they are good. I'd definitely go back and just might before I go home.

I recommed the Margarita El Toreado-a shaker of the tasty beverage that will top off your glass 2-3 times. A couple of others in our group got the Sex on the Beach cocktail - a fruity blast of juices and alcohol. We got a variety of dinner times. I got the Spicy Burrito, which was very tasty, but not spicy...at least on this visit. My wife got the Seafood Enchilada, which was a nice slightly creamy dish. Others got the Arroz Con Pollo (her go-to), Texas Burrito, and 2 got the Carnitas Tacos (their favs). The kids got the Grilled Chicken - a nicely flavored dish, and the other tot got the Kids Enchilada - she ate the whole plate of enchilada, rice, and beans.

Unfortunately, we weren't impressed. Don't get me wrong. Their food isn't terrible. It's just okay. We weren't wowed by it. They brought chips and salsa to our table before we ordered and it was very bland. It just tasted like tomatoes and really nothing else. There wasn't a lot of flavor to it at all. I ordered the street tacos which had steak, chorizo and pineapples in it. I was expecting a flavor explosion but it was pretty boring. My husband got the enchiladas blancas which came with a cheese sauce on top of them along with rice and beans. The rice was white with no flavor or spices in it. The service was fine. The food just wasn't as flavorful or authentic as we were hoping it would be. The menu was really hard to read because it had very dark pictures in the background and it was hard to see the words on top of it. The music was also loud and pulsating. It felt like we were in a club or bar. I don't think we'll be back.

So I asked the waiter for a recommendation and the picture attached is a special they run or it is off menu but can be ordered on request. It's street taco perfection The cheese is like a Muenster or Creamy Havarti and the perfect amount in the vase of the taco shell. The beef is marinated and tender- a succulent sweet and spice-savory. Then they fry/crisp the shell and the cheese melts into the beef and the shell takes on a golden crispy outside. The broth served on the side for dipping as well as the additional sauces to pour on the tacos make the meal mind blowing. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING ELSE! Guacamole also fresh and huge portions. Chips and salsa also on point. I will be back!

The server seemed to be in a haste which made for an uncomfortable environment. Perhaps quality control needs to do a reboot of their products to return back to the good quality food they are noted for serving.

Was only one other person waiting for there to go food. Chips and salsa are $2. Chips are thick/crunchy and taste homemade. Two salsas are given, verde (hot) and roja (slightly sweet with a kick of heat at the end). I ordered a Sope with carnitas. Wife ordered Gorditas. Waited for about 25 mins. A little long considering we were the only people in there at that point. But I hoped that meant it was being made from scratch. Food arrived, it looked delicious! Both of our first bites were heaven! Sope had a thick fluffy masa cake base with the most tender roasted slightly seasoned carnitas. Topped with a soft kind of white bean, a few sliced tomatoes, a few onions, shredded cabbage and salty cotija cheese. Very filling. Wife's Gorditas were three small masa cake shells stuffed with moist shredded dark meat chicken. And the same topping as mine. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food!!Would stop back again when I town.

I was nervous about trying it because several reviews mentioned getting bad service. On the contrary, we got excellent service and thought the food was really good. The young man who waited on us was super friendly and charismatic, not qualities you tend to see in waitstaff these days. He joked around with my husband and was very attentive. I wish we had gotten his name because he was really great. I got the red enchiladas with chicken and my husband got the Texas burritos with steak and chicken. I really liked the enchiladas and they had a lot of flavor. The rice and beans were typical. They were ok but there wasn't anything special about them. My husband liked the chicken better than the steak because he thought the steak was a little dry. They gave us a ton of food. Rice, beans and a salad came with my dish. Rice and a salad also came with my husband's dish. We thought the salad was unnecessary and would maybe ask them not to include it next time. We didn't really eat our salads so it seemed kind of wasteful. We could have easily split one of our dishes and may do that next time. We got really full on the chips and salsa. Their salsa was excellent, by the way. It was a little spicy at first, but then the heat kept building up the more we ate it. The prices were very reasonable and you definitely get your money's worth. I love it when I can bring leftovers home to have it for lunch the next day. We did have about a half hour wait for our food but it was worth it. We really appreciated the great service we got. Our waiter was enthusiastic about doing his job and told us several times that it was a pleasure to serve us. Good service goes a long way for us. We'll definitely be back.
