I treated my buddy for lunch. He picked this location. I had never been here before. I ordered the Macho chicken burrito and an iced tea. He ordered 2 classic margaritas on the rocks...oh, he also had 2 beef fajitas tacos. Although the meal was delicious, once the meal was delivered the waitress was too busy to notice our needs. I still tipped her 20 percent and giving this 4 stars overall.

The food is always fresh and hot here. I had the chicken enchiladas and they were excellent. The plate was an excellent value at 9.99. I couldn't even finish it. The staff and the manager Jose were very attentive.

So far number one best authentic Mexican food! Great service, short wait time. Will definitely revisit this restaurant. Loved it!

Yummy food, the service was awesome! Avocado stuffed shrimp is my favorite dish here! I also tried the chicken ranch taco. It was tasty! So this time I had the Chamoy Marg, so yummy!

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by an older man behind the register and sat down immediately. We had a wonderful young lady who was at our table for service and provided us with chips and salsa off the bat and we were also able to enjoy our food once it came out which was the perfect temperature and presented well. Thank you to the staff at this particular location for letting us enjoy a wonderful experience with you guys. See you guys soon!

Hands down the best place to eat in town. The food is absolutely fantastic, and the people who work here are just the best. The other night, I got there right before closing, and I could see them making my tacos fresh right in the drive-thru. You don't get that kind of attention to detail and customer service just anywhere. I was so impressed!

Apart from flavorful food, the staff is very helpful and kind. I forgot my phone and they had already labeled it with my name. It is great to know there are still good people out there.

I like eating here for their Tex-Mex plates. I frequent this establishment for breakfast, but was here for dinner during the week. The food and service is great as usual.
