Andrew Spence

Good alternative to Uncle Julios and avoiding RTC. We went today for the $0.50 mini tacos . Very delicious. Thus always have some sort of promo going on!

Gay Kirsch

Here's a tip.... Don't let the wait staff wipe off your table with the white towel they keep on the outside firehose fixture that is sitting here in the very the humid weather!!!! Yuk!!!

Michael Kitces

If you're doing carryout , you can order online ahead of time and just pick up. Which is generally a good idea, as the carryout orders are yummy, but often not very speedy!

Hector Valentin

If you're at the bar Anton is the best bartender here. Ask for a Green Melon Margarita . Super good, and sweet lol

Andy Ellis

Reasonably priced chain Mexican, love the Chile Relleno

Matt H

Definitely try the tacos from the mix and match taco menu. The beef brisket taco is excellent.

Dark Ness

Endless enchiladas are such a lovely idea. Enjoy them while you can.

Simon Heseltine

If you're a vegetarian beware that their rice is made w/ chicken stock , but they have a cilantro rice substitute that isn't :)

Jared Campbell

The table side guacamole is cool, but tastes the same as the regular. Don't bother. Your server will be grateful.

Brittany Heath

Strawberry Margaritas are awesome, try the loaded Queso Yummmmmmm

Michele Bush

Ask for Antwanett to be your server. She is the best! :-)

Ann Chapman

Cristian Loza

Awesome place for happy hour with friends!

Shireen Brathwaite

Great for people who like spicy food !

Michelle Blaine

Rice and black beans are off the hook!

Amy O.

Food is okay, but it's hard to recommend a place that uses flour tortillas for the enchiladas . Also, the rice seemed canned and not freshly made .

Todd Young

Specifically came to have the Hatch chile, but after being sat at a table with food on the seat and dirty tabletop, I got up and left.

J. W. Rider

Try the Guacamole Live. It's worth it.

Gay Kirsch
