"Food was excellent. We had side chicken tacos, enchiladas & guacamole. Tacos were huge and enchiladas were average size, without lettuce on top (which we are used to). We did wait a bit for them to take our order, but the food came super fast. Everything thing was delicious! Highly recommend! Pretty boy"

"They gave me the wrong food three times. There wasn’t anyone in the restaurant that understands English enough to take an order.
They are very friendly though. I paid )23 for food that I did not eat. It is a very busy place but if you want anything added or removed from your food, they have no idea what you are talking about
Should have just left without paying"

"I called at 900pm to see when they were open till, and ended up arriving 20 minutes before they closed. They were very welcoming and sat us down. We ordered our drinks and meals. It was very quick. Strawberry margaritas were very good(picture of a small). The food was even better. Had Rio Gran Burrito and my wife had the Chicken Quesadilla. Also had chips and salsa(which was very tasty) and ordered a side of Queso, which is a must for me. Portions were very generous, and the service was even better. Look forward to visiting again"
