Yikes, what has happened here? New ownership perhaps? Not sure, but all I can say is it has changed for the not-better. I will say it has been awhile since I've been here, so not sure when the change occurred, but the menu is different, the service is different, and most importantly the quality of food is significantly DOWN.
Four of us had a less than memorable experience on this recent Monday. Maybe that was the problem, it was a Monday? Not the prime staff, perhaps? Service started off less than stellar with a guy that seemed to have no clue what we were ordering. Dropped off two waters when there were three of us, he had three on his tray, but took the third away. Why? No idea. There was confusion regarding other drinks as well, but other servers appeared who made up for it.
But most disappointing was the quality of food. I ordered the Enchiladas Nortenas. The quality was just not there. For instance, the chicken one should have had a spinach sauce, but they put that sauce on the chorizo one. Rice, tasteless. Beans, tasteless. Maybe the lack of quality was especially pronounced because I had experienced so much better a couple days before nearby.
I will say the chips and salsa were okay. -

I'm 34 and this is the worst Mexican meal I've ever experienced throughout the entirety of my existence and not by a small margin. We showed up a full 3 hours before close on a Sunday evening and from the moment we walked in the door we were treated us as if we strolled in 10 minutes to close. The waitress was incredibly rude from the onset, letting us know she had much better places to be without verbalizing it. Started out with 3 house margaritas which were essentially 3 large glasses of sour mix with a splash of OJ concentrate, pre mixed out of a large plastic vat. I'm not the guy that complains for not having enough liquor in his drink, but there was quite litterally none in any of the 3. We proceeded to order after being asked for the 3rd time within 10 minutes of walking in the door, again 3 full hours before close. I ordered the Carne' Asada, my wife the chicken taco salad and my buddy (on his birthday) enchiladas "supreme." The full order was delivered to our table in roughly 180 seconds (zero exaggeration here). My wife got a taco bowl full of stale poultry liquid (please see picture attached). My "Carne" was lifeless and unseasoned, seared (barely) several hours ago and heated quickly in a microwave or back on the flattop for a minute or less. The rice that it came with tasted like stale tap water. We spoke with the manager and in his defense he took everything off the bill other than the enchiladas which my buddy did eat. PLEASE GO SOMEHWERE ELSE .....ANYWHERE ELSE....this place has ZERO redeeming qualitys what so ever. We will never return to this establishment for any reason what so ever. Save yourself the trip and go get a frozen mexican tv dinner from the Teeter as it will be lightyears better than this sorry excuse for a business.

First of all, the classic margaritas are . The food is excellent. But really, that's not why I'm writing. Our waitress tonight was superb. We opted to sit outside, we had a rotating group, and drained drinks & our chip basket quickly and frequently. Our waitress was ON IT! Always anticipating and appearing at just the right moment--which is not easy to do for an outdoor table so removed from the restaurant. Beyond that, I left my entire work bag with my laptop, important documents and other electronics in it. The waitress chased my friend into the parking lot with my bag in tow to return it. Honestly, couldn't be more grateful! This place definitely earned its place as our monthly meetup spot!

My server David was so friendly and so professional. He remembered our orders correctly. Got our food and drinks out quickly. Food was hot and delicious! And the scenery was beautiful. I will definitely be back!!! Keep up the good work David
