Love the warm side of beans they serve with your chips and salsa ! Delicious

Gina O.

Love everything we've tried here so far!! Enchiladas , steak ranchero , soups ...plus the chips come with both salsa AND warm beans to dip in!!!

Todd Williams

Carne asada burrito is a meal and then some! I will be back! A Coke (always Coke , never Pepsi ) with my meal would have been the only thing to make it better!

Ginny Blankenfeld

The atmosphere is super fun! Bean dip is great. Good happy hour .

Shaina Marie Wells

Cheese enchiladas are the best. Unlimited chip bean dip and salsa . Great service!

I got a Cadillac margarita(el jimador,mix&Grand Marnier) there and it didn't taste right. i watched the bartender make 4 more and he used imitation grand marnier @ $9.50!! Liars!

Extremely slow service two tables served sooner than us, server forgot the guacamole . Wait staff inattentive overall. Food was good. Service not worth the price. Won't be coming back.

Called ahead for a birthday and they printed up birthday signs for the table, classy & nice.

if the place is even remotely full, they'll say its a 20 min wait and to wait at the bar . as soon as you order a drink, your pager will go off. nice scam.
