From sitting down to getting our food was less than five minutes. The food was extremely fair priced. However, I cannot call it authentic. The flour tortillas were clearly purchased at the Walmart supercenter. The El Cabrón burrito I ordered was chopped up chicken breast inside a cold flour tortilla, smothered in queso. The beans were very watery and the rice was very good. Once I mix the beans and rice together, the beans seem to have a little flavor. Did I mention the burrito only had chicken inside nothing else? We also get the mango tacos, which was a mini version of the El Cabron burrito with some mango juice poured over the meat. It was fast. It was an expensive and it was filling. It did not remind me of Mexico. When we ordered the mango tacos, I expected some kind of mango chutney on the chicken, unfortunately, it was like someone opened a can of ocean spray and pour it on the meat. We will return, but it was boring.

Let me say if you don't like spice DO NOT eat the salsa. Plus the salsa is not complimentary like most Mexican places. My food was not very well seasoned but spicy basically lacking flavor, only could feel the "heat". Hubby said his was good. The music was techno which was odd but honestly better than loud mariachi music, honestly. The staff was on their phones a lot! Which is probably why I didn't get a refill for my beverage and it took 15 minutes to get him to come and take the payment for our meal. So basically this was a meh experience at best.

Unfortunately, the…read moreservice during our last two visits has been disappointing, and tonight was pretty much the nail in the coffin for us. On our previous visit, our margarita order was wrong--wrong flavor, salt when we requested no salt, etc. We chalked it up to a possible language barrier or simple misunderstanding and didn't make a big deal of it. Tonight, we had the same server and again had multiple issues with our drink order: wrong size, wrong flavor, and salt when no salt was requested. More frustrating was our toddler's meal. As soon as we arrived, we ordered a very simple soft taco with plain chicken and cheese--no cilantro, no onions--so she could eat while we ordered drinks and our meals. Our server even repeated the order back to us. About 15 minutes later, we ordered our drinks and then our adult meals, but still no taco. We asked about it again, and the server acted as though we had never ordered it. We explained the order again. Our adult meals eventually arrived...and still no taco for the toddler. We were told, "It's coming." By this point, we had a hungry, crying toddler and one parent ended up leaving with her. The taco finally arrived after everyone else's food. The food here has consistently been good, which is why we've returned multiple times. But good food only goes so far when the service repeatedly makes the experience frustrating. We gave it a second chance after our last visit, but after tonight, we'll be taking our business to one of the many other Mexican restaurants in the area.

When the waiter stopped back to take our order, he informed us that a takeout order was just made and the customer had left without it. He wanted to know if we wanted to get any of those, to avoid wasting, since they had just come up. We agreed and the 4th person ordered tacos. Turns out that 3 meals were $17.99ea skirt steak meals. (We didn't know what we were getting, he just he promised it would be good.) - Note: We were charged full price on those but we were going to order 2 skirt steak dishes anyway & I'm glad we were able to put it to use. Still, an incredibly peculiar interaction for a restaurant. They also just put out new menus - so, online information wasn't correct. My parents didn't want to go to the place we wanted to go. I feel it would have been a better fit for us. Service was as good as it could be with only 1 worker & the skirt steak was good, tho it wasn't hot when we got it.

There are restaurants that announce themselves before you've even sat down, and this one makes a…read morecompelling first impression. An old downtown building has been given a second life with care rather than gimmickry. The dining room is bright and uncluttered, softened by warm wood, patterned tile, and a leafy light fixture that hangs over the center of the room like a small indoor garden. Outside, a broad covered patio practically begs for a long evening. Even the painted windows and vintage-style sign feel considered. It is the sort of place that whispers confidence before a single plate reaches the table. The chips and salsa reinforce that optimism. The chips glisten with just enough oil to make you suspicious, but then they shatter with an airy crispness that's surprisingly addictive. They disappear faster than you'd expect. I ordered wine. Yes, I know--a Mexican restaurant celebrated for margaritas. But wine is on the menu, and sometimes that's what sounds right. The list simply instructs you to "ask your server," who, understandably, had to investigate before returning with the exhaustive selection: Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Cabernet. The Cabernet was serviceable enough until the second glass revealed its identity: individual bottles of Barefoot. If that's your thing, fine. If not, this is probably the moment to pivot toward the margaritas. Then came the carne asada. Or rather, something wearing its name. When most people hear "carne asada," they imagine juicy grilled beef with char around the edges, seasoned assertively enough that every bite reminds you why this dish has endured for generations. What arrived instead was a steak pounded into near transparency, cooked well past surrender, and seasoned with remarkable restraint. It was less a celebration of beef than an argument against it. The portion was equally bewildering. I finished it in minutes, not because it was irresistible, but because I was hungry enough to overlook its shortcomings. I could easily have eaten five times as much. Eight minutes later, another plate appeared--a scattering of avocado, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, and peppers, as though the meal had suddenly remembered it had forgotten something. Was it a salad? A garnish? A topping? A side? The tortillas that were supposed to tie everything together never made an appearance, leaving the plate to exist as an edible riddle. To be fair, my companions enjoyed their meals. Quesadillas, burritos, and dishes lavishly blanketed in melted cheese tend to forgive a multitude of sins. One person in our group rated their meal three and a half stars, which feels about right. For me, though, the experience settles at three. The prices are fair, the space is genuinely inviting, and there is enough promise here that I'd consider returning--but next time I'd order something safer, skip the wine, and hope the kitchen shows the same care with the food that it so clearly invested in the building.
