My family was driving back home to NJ from NC and made a gas stop and checked out this restaurant. Food was good, Mexican food is usually hit or miss. We enjoyed it very much and we are mexican so we can be pretty harsh critics. The portions were big and the food was seasoned great. Would recommend

I’ve had better. We went on a Tuesday so it’s expected to be busy. The chips were over cooked, our server was clearly in the weeds and never once apologized for taking so long to get us our food, our margaritas were too sweet with syrup, and the food was mediocre. It’s was pretty basic imo.

Not only did you act like you didn’t want to take her order after wrongly accusing her of placing an order over the phone and not picking it up earlier in the day but to top it all off There is no excuse for the Rude and Insensitive staff that choose to “whistle” at my daughter who is hard of hearing because they were too lazy to walk to her and let her know her to-go order was ready when she couldn’t hear them over the loud music they have playing. If you don’t have anymore respect for someone than to whistle at them like a dog then maybe a job working with the public is not for you. People with disabilities don’t wear signs around their necks… a little common courtesy would have gone a long way. Instead you left her with her feelings hurt and embarrassed. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. The worst part is that her and her family were regular loyal customers that frequently visited your restaurant.

My family had a blast all the time we go there. Awesome service and very good food

Service here is super fast and the staff is very friendly. The food at pretty much all the Mexican restaurants around this area is the same, so don’t expect anything super great. It’s the same old greasy food that you will get at any of the places. I do wish they would increase the quality of food to something a bit better than a greasy mess, again, this is true for all the places in about a 25 mile radius. If you are looking to not get killed by grease then I would try somewhere else or just drink a margarita. If a really heavy meal is what you are looking for then this is the place.
