They had a pretty nice outdoor patio but it was too hot for that. We had a really nice server, young handsome guy. He was very attentive and replenished our chips periodically when they ran low. We stopped by the salsa bar and grabbed a plethora of different kinds. Unfortunately there were a couple that were "bad" or started to ferment. It was not a pleasant way to find out and I didn't want to point it out to the server because it may just be me. My husband did taste it and agree that it was like that but didn't want to make a big deal of it so we just ate the chips. I got carne asada because it was so good last time and hubby got some asada tacos. When my entree came, I noticed the rice looked to be either undercooked or possibly al dente because of the texture, you could see each grain and it wasn't soft and fluffy looking. When I went to take a spoonful it was actually cooked but could tell it was overly saturated in butter. I have never had Mexican style rice cooked this way and it was a bad representation of it. I understand if they want to be more Americanized or cater to a certain demographic but rice is simple and it tastes best made the authentic way, not with a bunch of butter. It was inedible for me and I just worked around the rest. The steak had a good char and had nice flavor, but was a bit dry. The tacos my husband ordered seemed a bit messy, and the meat was in large chunks rather than chopped in smaller pieces like how we've normally had steak tacos. Just didn't seem like there was a lot of effort put into the food made that night and we will most likely go back to the other location instead. Service was good, food and drinks were underwhelming.

In the past I have had good experiences with this restaurant. Their food is pretty good and their…read moreprices are fair. However, today they had a presumably new employee who did not understand what "a la carte" meant when they have an entire "a la carte" section on their menu. This was able to be cleared up after some explaining. We also ordered sopapillas (advertised with honey, butter, and cinnamon) and received some other dessert that, by the time it was opened at home, was covered in melted ice cream and chocolate. I called the restaurant to inform them that their employee may need further training and their response was to first ask if I had the correct restaurant (I did, they repeated the name back to me over the phone while asking this) and then to ask when this happened. When I responded with the approximate time the order was taken, the response was literally "nuh uh." I will not be back, regardless of how much I enjoy their food. That sort of response to someone attempting to alert you to a problem with your staff is unacceptable.

Let me start by saying my family loves Mexican food. We have tried several different places in…read moreand around Greenville. That being said, we decided to try this place on our way home based off the reviews. Both "servers" had a 'I don't want to be here attitude'. There was a hair in our cheese dip, no "sorry about that". When the food came, the sever basically threw the plates at us, again not a word. Everything was bland. No flavor whatsoever! As for ambiance, ha the fast food booths were super uncomfortable. Oh and when the server cleaned the table across from us, she flung food towards us. Try it at your own risk.

Not your typical Mexican restaurant. You'll order when you walk in and will be assigned a table by…read morethe staff after that. Everyone is super friendly! Chips and salsa are not complimentary, but you do get these cute little wagon wheel looking chips called duros. They're like puffed air and remind me of pork rinds but not as crunchy and probably made from flour. The drinks are all delicious and strong. The margaritas are small but watch out, they'll sneak up on you! Lots of options. They specialize in tequila and mezcal with flights as an option. The bar is the spot to be; bartenders are friendly and they have small TVs to watch whatever sports are in season. The atmosphere is a little lacking in my opinion, but it's all about the food. Food is delicious and the portions are larger than expected. We got the chips and queso, Heidi's Flautas, soup of the day, and the Birria Egg Rolls. Too much food for 2 people so we took some home. Location is in a strip mall; parking is tight and can be a challenge. We won't let that stop us though! We will be back for those delicious Birria Egg Rolls and margaritas!

We saw this driving by and were trying to figure out whether it was the same Taco Casa fast food…read morechain they have in North Texas, that we have missed since moving away, and decided to have lunch here to find out. It isn't. It might have been at one point, who knows? But the menu is different and though some of the flavors are similar it isn't identical. Sadly, we like the TX version better, but the locals clearly love theirs as this place was packed at 1:40 on a Friday. I had a combo burrito w/o lettuce (not sure if it usually comes with lettuce or not but wanted to avoid the cyclospora currently consuming the country) ; hubs had a taco el grande and bean burrito. There was no sauce on my burrito at all, they have bins for you to add your own, but it is cold. Their sauce is mainly what is inferior to the TX TC; the beans and beef taste about the same. These burritos are much smaller as well (but also cheaper). I am a small eater but still hungry aftee just one burrito. If you want to have a variety the smaller sizes are an advantage though. Despite being very busy the food was ready pretty fast. They also have weekday specials , which make it a very economical option which is probably half the reason it is so popular. All in all, it is better than Taco Bell, but grade it on the fast food scale since it is very much fast food. If I were a local I'd probably eat here periodically too for a snack or a cheap meal. It isn't really a vacation meal though since it isn't the Taco Casa we miss from TX.

We ordered al pastor, and the meat was extremely dry and lacked flavor. We spent over $70 on a few burritos and tacos, but our order was missing items that were supposed to be included--chips, beans, and rice. For families, a heads up: the kids' fish taco had bones in it. Customer service was also pretty subpar. There was no courteous greeting or even a quick intro, and we mentioned it was our first time there. It didn't feel welcoming, and combined with the food issues, it just wasn't a great experience. Unfortunately, we won't be back.
