Great food and experience. We had put our name on a waiting list around 7 for an 8pm dinner. We were seated by 8:15. It was BYOB, so the waiter brought the glasses and we enjoyed our drinks while dinner was prepared. I had the Bistec and Enchulda combo. It was fantastic served with chipolte mashed potatoes and rice. All... more

Not only did we wait over an hour and fifteen minutes to be seated, but the staff was totally rude, with the exception of our waiter. The food was mediocre at best, not enough spice or flavor.

The menu is large and varied ranging from traditional Mexican food (enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, etc.) to entrees. But it is incredibly crowded all of the time, and it seems you have to wait forever. And, there are times when they will simply turn... more

The only thing keeping me from rating this restaurant an above average, was the questionable service. We first heard about this place through a local t.v. program recommendation and decided to give it a try. My husband and myself, as well as my sister, her spouse and 2 children each embarked on a 45 minute drive to this place &... more
