Everything about the place was great! The portions of food are huge and it was served quickly. The lights everywhere make it so festive! If we’re ever in the area again we will be going again

Nice place. My fiancé and me really enjoyed our lunch time at this place. Waiter staff is very friendly and nice. Thank you for the service. Talking about food, I would suggest them to make less oily food; however, it is their culture, and I can not tell how food should be cooked. It is just my ideas, and preferences. Enchilada was really good. I made my own recently , and I was curious to compare with the restaurant version.

Came here for a family dinner. First time here but the family are regulars. The service was good, quick and attentive to our needs. We ordered a couple pitchers of margaritas that were really good. I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas Suizas that was very delicious and tasty. The atmosphere was cool with framed pictures of celebrities and other people all over the walls. Would come back again.

Terrible place, I ordered the food myself, when I came to order I waited a very long time, not 15 minutes as they said, but almost an hour and it was at dinner on Tuesday, but it’s half the trouble !!! When I asked if I could use the toilet, the waitress said to wait and the administrator approached and said that I could not use the toilet because I only ordered food myself, it’s awful so I do not recommend this institution in any case, because it’s not that do not respect customers, and in general infringe on the rights of people !!!! ……
