Catherine Taylor

Chili relleno and regular fish tacos are delicious! The dos equis tacos...I could take them or leave them. Live guac is pretty cool too.

Mandy Russell

We went on Sunday afternoon. We had super fast service . The food was great. I had queso chicken and my boyfriend had Barbacoa enchiladas . Really good food.

Mildred Mercado

The avocado fries were delicious but we found that they taste way better with the chip 's salsa than with the sauce they serve them with.

Madison Hoenscheidt

Brisket queso is amazing, but we asked the bartender for water 3 times and never got it.

Nicholas Posada

Ritas on moday are on special...sit at the bar , ryan the bartender is great!

Cheryl

Awesome HH prices! $2-$3 beer & margaritas , $4 appetizers in bar & on patio . HH is M-F from 3-6 and then again from 9-11. C'mon over!!

It's hit and miss this last trip was alright but I didn't eat so maybe that helped but try the patron margarita our the otb with an extra shot in it, it makes it way better

Tina Everett

If you have any problems with your meal, I'm so sorry for you. Excuses and apologies but that doesn't make it better. It takes a real griping to get the meals off that were not eaten because of probs
