We're locals and we eat here all the time! No need to ask for extra cheese ! Recent menu changes and building upgrades have only made it better!

Chris Spensley

The best tortilla soup you will find anywhere in the USA. Everything on the menu is authentic and delicious... Nom on!

Free chips and salsa so.be careful not to fill up on them, combination plate is massive... Good for 2 people (heart attack plate) I got the bean tostada salad which I enjoyed.

I don't know why, but I really like this place. It feels a little like a run down hole in the wall , but I like the beef tacos . It has so much yummy cheese .

Fun fact! This location used to be a Sizzler 30 years ago! Some of the decor and tables still remain. Blast from the past!

Ask for a side of cilantro and raw chopped onions to mix in with your salsa !

Jami Russell

If you don't like refried beans they will serve some awesome whole beans .

Be sure to take extra Lipitor and check with your doctor prior to any meal. But what a a way to go!

This was the worst restaurant visit I’ve had in years. It took 30 minutes to even take the food order and food still wasn’t out over an hour after that. It was complete incompetence the entire visit.
