Mexican food swiss enchiladas happy hour tacos karaoke fajitas margaritas tortilla soup hanger steak fried ice cream DJs casual tequila beer lunch music dinner camarones guacamole spicy salsa
Sarah O'Bannon

The flautas are fair , but the tacos camarones are to die for! Unfortunate that you have to pay for the chips and salsa to start with, but the salsa is very fresh tasting and worth the $2.45!

Tammy Nehmzow

Delicious guacamole , spicy salsa , great beer , good company.

Sean Miller

The swiss enchiladas were awesome! Finish off your meal with an order of fried ice cream !

Lawrence H

Swiss enchiladas are freakin yummy! Enrique is the best, most professional server I have ever seen, even at places that are twice as expensive . Courtesy of him we WILL be back.

Kory Romaine

I have enjoyed my experience greatly, great service.

Robin

I love this place. Friendly service , great drinks and supe cool atomosphere. Music 5 nights a week too!

Chris Backos

Paying for chips and salsa is crazy! On top of that it was terrible!

Darren Johnston

Avoid this place. The service time is horrible, and the staff will just make excuses. It took 40 min between order and serving a single chimichanga , which wasn't very good. Drinks are overpriced.

Tim Nelson

Chips and salsa only $2.45, free refill! Not bad. Food was great.

Angela Schreck

The food was good however the service was horrible like everyone says and the soda was flat.

Noel

Good service , good food, nice location... But $$$... Enjoyed the food!

Jennifer Valley

A Mexican restaurant that doesn't give you free chips and salsa ? And their lunch specials don't include sides! Eat someplace else.

Katie Sterner

Try the taco sampler! Also the salsa here is surprisingly awesome!

Julie Friesen

Service was excellent for lunch . Got table overlooking rides. Quiet break from the mall noise. Relaxing.

Larry Torris

So the reviews about bad service are wrong. Seated fast. Four drinks at the table before we opened the menu and nachos on the way!!

Leilani Andrews

It was pretty good. Very pretty and presentable food. However, I would rather go to chipotle and only spend 1/6 of the price I paid for half the amount....

Dion Grace

The chile relleno is alright, but it may need more salt or spiciness to make it awesome.

Mandy Mac

Great Happy Hour Specials ! Windows overlooking Camp Snoopy!

Jon Russell

It's a great place to 69

Jessica Garver

Try the Avocado Salsa !

Melanie

Love the Tortilla Soup !

Airy collins

Our server Karis was awesome! Went above and beyond....loved it!

tramatic candy

Service can be hit or miss but I love the fish tacos

Gabriel Nicholas

Get up and leave right now! You'll never have a worse experience!

Sara Schirer

Sure if u want sum wine or other Alchol drinks!!!!

Nicole Mickelson

Good Bloody Mary - they use their own secret seasoning... :)

Zach Biles

Mega burrito is hard to eat but very very yummy

Rick Lindsay

Here is a tip. Ask a manager why they charge for something or if your food is not right. How can a place make it right if you do not give them the chance to? Complain if they do not help.

Trish Lein

Not sure if they should call the drink I had a Mimosa . Lesson learned.

Christina Khoury

Server was great and food was good! The bathrooms play Rosetta Stone!

Chris Velazco

Solid Mexican food , and top-notch service during lunch .

Amanda Horn

Amazing Food!!

Jeremy Lebens

No free chips and salsa . Lousy quesadillas . Decent queso . Over-priced.

Liza Faulkner

This is an awful place to eat. Horrible service. Rude and lazy staff . Never got part of our order. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Alaina Marth

Really bad service. Eat someplace else unless you are willing to wait for an hour for the bill. No asking if we wanted additional refreshments .... just plain awful!

Nick Arens

Karaoke on Tuesday nights. Come rock out.

Tim Nelson

No complimentary chips and salsa .

Andrew L

Try a coconut drink . It will get chopped in front of you.

Heather Heim

The Corona Cherry Limeade is delish!

John V.

Meh... Had better Mexican. Kinda feels like a tourist trap sort of restaurant .

Joe Poegel

Wow awesome fried ice cream

Dan Stockwell

Exspensive place bring your wallet

Josh Renner

Happy hour is not as promised on website

Terese Evans

Good service but horrible food... Rice wasn't even cooked, chimichangas small and hardly edible.

Tom Jungroth
