Food tastes amazing, the server was very helpful as well as polite, and the decor throughout the resteraunt is beautiful. There is a divider in between the bar and the dining area. Overall, the environment is clean, yet the tables are a little sticky. Finally amazing Mexican music.

The selection of food is good. I had a tostada type salad with chicken. Huge portion sizes. Plenty to take home for leftovers! Everyone enjoyed their selections. Staff was friendly and attentive.

This was our only authentic Mexican go-to place. Sadly we won’t be coming back here until they fix their “cheese supply chain issue”. I don’t know what kind of cheese it was but on hot food, it was not melting, perhaps vegan? No clue. Please fix ASAP!

Very good food. It was a little dark inside…but added to the old mom n pop feel…like the Godfather.

Had lunch here with wife and in-laws on 3-1-23. Service great. Food great. However something not agreeing with me. Mild bout of food poisoning. I was only one to have the soup so perhaps that is the culprit. Espresso chicken burrito was huge. Only ate 1/3 of it. Felt full all day and about 12 hours after visit (midnight) was first trip to barroom. Then every couple hours. Hopefully will stop soon.

I love the homey feel inside and the unassuming feel outside of the restaurant. The waitresses know regular customers which is a nice thing to watch. And the menu is quite varied and includes specials, salads, and combination deals.

This place is great. The wonderful waitress will call you “momma” and “papa” and make you feel awesome. Margaritas and food are good too!

Came in at 5:50, seated at 5:55pm…place is pretty full. Ordered around 6:10, orders came at 6:45pm. Sheesh….fajita supreme has 2pcs of prawns, few pieces of beef and chicken and the rest vegetables for 20 dollars. It’s totally dry meat and salty, portion of vegetables to meat 65 veggies:35 meat. The plate with rice and refried beans – dry uncooked rice, very salty refried beans…and the lady did not bring the tortilla..when we asked where is the tortilla..she replied “i did not bring because some people doesn’t like” our order for your info is called supreme fajita.. gosh! She didn’t even ask us for a fact. Another order is the crab enchilada for 7 dollars and more.. total disappoinment. Oh the sauce for the free chips soaked in rancid oil is super spicy…need i say more? This place is far from authentic mexican place we’ve been to and the price for food is way overpriced!!!! If you are not from this place and just looking for the reviews..beware it is deceiving. Food trucks are much better. Yay!
