We eat here quite often. We have gotten to know a handful of the staff as we have become somewhat regulars. As with anywhere, we have our favorite waiter, so we do look at the others as not as good. Without being bias, during busy dinner nights, they can tend to forget about you a bit. But no more than anywhere else. I would say out of the 100 times we have been there, maybe two times we had a 2 star rating. No way do they have flies all over, smell within the restaurant, or bland food. I have no idea how people actually think that. Maybe they ate outside, which we have never done. But it sound like jabs from the competition. If you like a restaurant or not, dont make it sound like these wonderful people are monsters and cant run a restaurant. Lately we have been getting the burrito azteca, with mixed meat, any style fajitas, and my kids keep it simple (7 and 12) with tacos ,cheese dip, and rice. Someone put a bad review for no white sauce for the chips. It is called queso cheese and they most definitely offer it. There homemade salsa and guacamole is top shelf. To end this, dont listen to the negative reviews, quality food, good prices, large portions, usually fast service, friendly staff. Must go at least once to see for self.

Customer services was poor. Our waiter was really friendly to other guest it appeared they might have be regulars. The waiter did not bring our food until 5 minutes about guest that came 30 minutes after us, the restaurant wasnt even crowded. I asked for water which I did not receive until 20 minutes later after I got up to give management a compliant.i was told the owner and no management came to work today (2/25/17).I hope it wasnt because we were the only African American there. Summary customer service was poor but the food was OK/good.

There were flies all over the place and our table smelled like they killed an animal on it. Also, I ordered 2 different types of burritos and they tasted the same, only thing different was the sauce on top. No creativity on their part, so the flavor variety was not great. My wifes Hawaiian salad was pretty tasty but had hardly any lettuce, not much of a salad. The food did not make up for the flies and stench. The one next to taco bell is a lot nicer and cleaner.

Only one good server in the whole restaurant we have gone multiple times and the only good experience was with one server the rest of the time we had horrible service and our food came out wrong. The worst part was no one checked to see how we were doing so my husband was done eating before I could even tell someone my order was wrong. Food is okay Mexican food might be good for Delaware but if you are used to good Mexican food this place is just okay.

I can only speak from personal experience and being new to the area. Food is great! Servers were exceptional! They have cheese dip (for real...not sure why it was reported otherwise). The chips are warm and the salsa taste fresh (non-vinegar). Pricing is competitive and reasonable compared to the portion size of the plates. If you are looking for a real good Mexican food restaurant, you will want to try this one for sure!

We have eaten at the Salisbury, MD location and it was GREAT!! This location had no white sauce for the chips. The fajitas I got, all the veggies were still raw! It was not good food at all. I got the mexican fried ice cream at the end and it was basically covered in corn flakes however they were stale! Will never return to this restaurant.

Just went here for lunch. Food was great and service was perfect. I got chips, salsa, and enough chicken fajitas to make 3 stuffed fajitas for 7.99$. Quality of the food was excellent and atmosphere was relaxed. Definitely will come back.

Now known as El Azteca. A great find. Very authentic. Great service, a large selection of margaritas & tequilas, a fairly large but very good menu. Good vegetarian options. Service: outstanding! Highly recommend.

Its a nice place to take the family but its not really a fantastic meal. They always are very busy and the staff sometimes take a long time to come around. If you do go, I recommend the Mole Pablanos.

My family and I go every Tuesday for margaritas and dinner. The service is amazing. They make sure the drinks are never empty. The quesadilla rellanos is amazing as well as fajita taco salad. LOVE!

I love going here every time! Staff is incredibly polite and your order always comes out quickly piping hot. Ive never had a bad meal here. Does get crazy busy though during events at Dover Downs.

For the Dover location got the buffet on Sunday worse food ever no labels to tell what your eating. Food was cold and just plain tasting wont be back but they were nice enough to offer a discount.

Best Tex-Mex restaurant in Dover DE. Staff is very friendly and remembers their regulars. Say hello to Tomato when you see him....he is the one with the rosey cheeks and big smile.

I have no idea why this is getting such bad reviews. I have never seen a fly here, nor was the food bad (actually quite good), prices are fair, everything tastes fresh.
