This place by the old Kmart is a perfect place to eat a delicious meal for breakfast to dinner. My burrito was just amazing and the lettuces to sauce was spot on. The service from the start was just restaurant level and the waiter/ greeter was so nice and such a respectful person. I see many more times coming here for future years and telling family and friends. I believe if you love Mexican food look no farther than this place to feel your belly and keep money in your pocket.

It was our first time here two nights ago. The waiter was the only one taking care of anyone on the side of the restaurant I was seated on. It was impossible to get his attention once he took off. I definitely understand being short staffed. That wasn’t my main concern.

We can always count on good service and food here. It’s easy to get seated even on a Friday night. It’s very bright and cheery.

This is my favorite local Mexican restaurant. They are very attentive and correct any issues immediately. They have never made me feel rushed and always had patience with my children. The margaritas are delicious, the staff is courteous, and the food is perfect for us.

Sometimes great sometimes not chicken fajitas are really good most of the time and they give you a good helping especially if you order them for two very good price. $24.. just sometimes they’re a little under seasoned but most the time they’re very good. This location on Thompson Road is much better than the one on south Emerson Avenue…new update on review ..went in about 830 pm then they started cleaning mopping and the cleaning supplies had a horrible smell my 9 month old was with us we all got a throbbing headache that last for about 30 minutes after we left..we didn’t even eat had to get up and go ..told the waiter and he didn’t even stop them from cleaning..wasn’t mad that we did not eat the last 2 pictures are from this visit..it was like the food was thrown on the plate. This place is really going down hill fast!!! Absolutely a horrible experience out to eat .. and the food this time look like something I would put together drinking and cooking Mexican food on a plate. Very inconsistent cooking.

I have had delivery from here in the past and it was okay. Last week I ordered for my husband and I and it was terrible. I had the street tacos, there used to be cheese between the two tortillas, not anymore, one tortilla. There also was no onion or cilantro, just dry meat, not even any limes to juice it up. My husband ate his, but he was hungry and didn’t offer up any yums while he was eating. My $35 lunch consisted of salsa and chips, and not very good salsa and chips either. I gave it a 5 for Atmosphere only because they were really nice to me when I picked up carry out at the peak of the pandemic.

Delicious! A little slow at taking our order, but worth the wait. I got a beef chimichanga. I would have preferred shreded beef over ground, but the flavor was good. Yummy queso. Excellent margaritas.

Hard Life

Place has went downhill in last 3 months. All their locations. They have raised prices and you receive smaller quantities now. Ordered fajitas few times different locations. Literally enough meat for one burrito. They lost me as a customer for sure.

Why this place isn’t busier is beyond me. Never a line. Food and service great. I ordered the El Meson dinner special. Look at all the food I got! I could not have gone to the grocery and got this much for the same price. My wife got the chicken chimi. She also got the sopapillas and ice cream. We have enough leftovers for two more meals. I’ve been here several times.
