  We eat here a lot,
  
  My sons and I eat here often, it is right up the street from the house. As others have said, it is the typical Mexican restaurant, with the typical menu.
  
  The staff has always been very friendly, but at times they seem overwhelmed, this place gets packed at times. There have been a few times that we had to park in the parking lot next to them, and wait a few minutes to be seated.
  
  The food is always good, I love their chili releno!  Since Mexican is my family's favorite food to eat when we go out to eat, this place fills our need.  Oh, and if you like margaritas, theirs are awesome!!!!

  It's been over a year since we ate here. The food quality & service had been going down for a while. The final straw for us was the stale chips. When asked for fresh, the waitress brought us the original chips that had been run through a broiler and were nearly burnt. We asked for new, and it was several minutes later when she brought a new basket of stale chips. We told her these were stale as well, and we were told "That's all we have." We placed our order and when it finally came, my wife's taco salad bowl was nearly burnt and my chimichangas were extremely well done. We told our waitress about this & she replied, "Maybe we'll be better next time." We told the manager about our experience as we left and barely got an apology. Haven't been back since, and dont plan to.
  
  9/27/19 - after receiving assurances from Angel that things had improved, we decided to try again . Bad choice! We placed our drink order and they couldn't get that right (unsweetened tea wasn't & Coke is not Sprite). The chips were still stale & overcooked. Then our meals came out - our D-I-L's taco salad had undercooked shrimp, the chicken & beef looked horrible. My wife's nachos looked like they swept them off the floor & were not what she ordered. My chimichangas were supposed to be fried - one was not, and they were both drowning in sauce. To top it off, the service was atrocious. I thought our waitress was in training, but it turns out she was the one the manager left in charge, since he was not there. We decided enough was enough & left. There were several other customers who had issues with their meals & service besides us. We WILL NOT come back, EVER. Angel, I'm sorry, we tried and were completely disappointed.

  The salsa here is good and they have a really nice spicy one if you ask. The staff is always nice and friendly though never really exceptional.  The food is decent.  I've never had a bad meal here. I've never had an amazing meal here either.  It's decent. That's all there is to it.  We will continue to eat here; it's close and fills you up and it's not a chain. Don't expect to be blown away but you should be able to get a decent meal and decent service with no problem.

  Our 1st visit was a wonderful experience. The food was plentiful and very good. The atmosphere was wonderful and the place was pretty full even as it got close to closing time. We will definitely be back and we recommend this restaurant to those looking for good food.

  Not the friendliest service. Food is ok. We've had coupons they would not honor before.
