“ This is the first time in a long time I have left a Mexican restaurant with a doggie bag. The food was all delicious and there was plenty of it for each dinner item. Recommend the queso dip along with the salsa. Service was fast and attentive. It's not bright and loud like many restaurants which I prefer but some people may find too dark. Will definitely eat here again and again. ”
“ I have always loved this place, and probably already will. The staff is usually great and fun to chat with, and the meals are decent and affordable! I usually call in and order take out every other day and I have to say I am satisfied most every time. ”
“ While visiting family, chose here to feed everyone. Very busy, but very good food. Fed the 4 adults and 2 children for 85. Very large portions, we all had take away trays full for eating later!!! ”
“ Food is good, prices are fair, and the help is on point. We always take out and they put equal effort into to-go orders as in house dining. The hot sauce is actually no kidding hot which means a lot to me at a Mexican restaurant. ”
“ Nachos were fantastic! Great seasoning on the meat and cheese. Always try to stop by when passing through ”
“ Friendly people work here. Lots of food, reasonably priced. Most dishes have lots of flavor, so ask questions. I'm a regular there! ”
“ Great food. Probably some of the best I've had. We enjoyed this little place and can't wait to go again! ”
“ Our first visit was awesome. We made our order to go. The hostess was very kind in answering my questions. Btw, a burrito on has your meat choice on it. You'll have to ask for everything else to go in the burrito like lettuce, cheese, etc. The food was delicious and of a healthy portion. Customer service and quality are spot on. We'll be back for more the next time we're in the area. ”
