ONE OF THE WORST RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!! We went there on Saturday night for nice dinner, food was good, our first waitress was nice, and then, they changed our waitress to a waiter. In the beginning, he was nice to provide us the to-go box and then, he gave us the bill. The printer was old and also there was not enough ink, the total amount was 68.85 dollars, but we couldnt see it very well, so we misread the amount, it looked like 60.85. So we paid 69 dollars for the total. When we left the restaurant and were pulling out of the parking lot , the GREATEST WAITER knocked our window and gave us 15 cents. We asked why, the GREATEST WAITER only said: YOU GUYS NEED THIS 15 CENTS MORE THAN ME!!!!! Since we know this restaurant, we went there 6 times in 5 weeks, we spent 70~90 dollars each time, of course thats not including the TIPS. We always give 15 ~ 20% tips, sometimes even more, because we love this restaurant and the food. We really couldnt believe that this is really happening to us, You couldnt ask us about the money in the first place instead of giving us the 15 cents? People misread sometimes. If we always do this kind of horrible thing, I believe the owner would recognized us. The truth is we are not this kind of customer, and that the GREATEST WAITER gave us this kind of service. We went back to the restaurant, gave that waiter tips and also talked to the manger. They didnt say sorry at all. I also gave the 15 CENTS and the To-Go FOOD back to the guy. I believe that 15 cents will help him to learn how to be POLITE and I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR HIS PARENTS to have this kind of POLITE CHILD. Please, DONT JUDGE ANYTHING BY THE FIRST GLANCE. THINK before you do something to EMBARRASS YOURSELF, YOUR CUSTOMER and YOUR EMPLOYER.

BUENAS NOCHES. NO PODIA PASAR POR ACTO MI CALIFICACION SOBRE LA INCREIBLE CENA FAMILIAR EN ESTE RESTAURANTE QUE ESTUVE HOY. TODOS LOS PLATOS ORDENADOS FUERON UNA DELICIA. EL AMBIANTE MUY ACOGEDOR. PERO SOBRE TODAS LAS COSAS EL MESERO QUE NOS ATENDIO, EL JOVEN CARLOS ALONA. FUE REALMEENTE MUY AMABLE Y CORTES CON TODOS NOSOSTROS, SUS SUGERENCIAS SOBRE LA COMIDA A ELEGUIR Y EL AMBIENTE TAN FAMILIAR CON EL QUE NOS TRATO FUE SIN DUDAS ELEXENTE. SUPO HACER EN CADA MOMENTO SU TRABAJO Y DEJAR BIEN EN ALTO EL NOMBRE DEL RESTAURANTE DONDE TRABAJA CIELITO LINDO . GRACIAS POR ESTA NOCHE Y POR LA EXQUISITA CENA QUE NOS BRINDARON !!!!!

Their bartender (Shawna) will blatently cheat you. I went in during happy hour, sat at the bar and ordered a domestic beer and two beef tacos. Their happy hour bar only menu lists 2 beef tacos for $5 and domestic happy hour beer $3.50. With tax the total would come to $9.10. The first bill she presented was $18.+. Shawna had offered me a restaurant menu that I refused but for some reaseon when I ordered 2 beef tacos off the bar happy hour menu she put my order in as a regular dinner menu item (obviously because its more expensive.) And as if insult wasnt being added to injury, for some reason she refused to honor happy hour beer pricing. When I mentioned how I had ordered feom her happy hour menu she attempted to school me on how I was to give her orders. She changed my bill to 14.+ to which I left a $20 and walked out. I live in the neighborhood and had high hopes for this restaurant to be a happy new hang out. I guess Ill have to find out the nights they allow more honest people to keep bar. Wonder how hard it would be to find a hot, amiable, honest Latina to bartend a Mexican restaurant.

Used to go regularly since I live down the street. Decent food, decent prices. Ive had better but its convenient and never really crowded. However Im not going back anymore. Asked for enchiladas with grilled chicken instead of the usual shredded chicken. She said $3 up charge. No problem, and I expected it to take longer. She came back and said they cant do that. I thought it was a joke, but she was serious. Not gonna go back anymore mainly because now I wonder how fresh it really is if you cant substitute grilled chicken for shredded. Lol! Also side note- taco Tuesdays are unlimited tacos. 4 tacos w rice and beans, then 2 tacos each after that. They wait about 20 minutes before bringing out the next order of tacos. Waiting for you to get full or tired of waiting. Nice move managers! Just put a limit on it or dont do taco Tuesday. Whats the point?

Tried to place an order for take-out around 9:45 and the jerk on the phone told me they didnt have the menu item I was literally reading off their online menu and kept interrupting me while I was trying to read whats in it and even though I told him I live across the street and just wanted some tacos he eventually just said "you know what sir we are closing so..." And thats when I decided that this is not the place I want to order from. I know calling so late isnt the nicest thing to do but I work takeout at another restaurant in the area and we take orders until the clock literally strikes 10 and would be fired if we did anything like that.

Fabulous food! Got the steak fajitas - wow. Steak cooked perfectly, tons of peppers and onions, flavorful and tasty. My bf got the all you can eat tacos, same thing! Flavorful and delicious! The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We were there for a friends bday and we brought a cake, they kept it in the fridge, served it to us with candles and a cake slice. Really, really nice people and great food. Oh! I almost forgot about the salsa. YUM

Unfortunally HH prices change with out telling the customer in advance. Have being there a cupple of time; had a grate time, however is rhe second time that with out telling us they go up $1 in food, a cupple of months ago and now on the HH margaritas. Have not problem as a consumer but DO NOT appreciate the way it was done. Will not come back. I prefer honesty.

Dont want to be cruel,But frist impretions "NOT GOOD" An old and musty smell filled the air.. I was expecting to smell food. Dont do the Cuban food, they have no idea... Youre best bet, if you still insist on going is the Fajitas. Tasty and alot can feed up to 3.....If you live around the corner "OK"Get the Fajitas.......

Its 9:23 and the sign says they close at 10:00 pm, first words out of her mouth were you are going to have to order fast cause we are about to close.... I said if you are closed you are closed, the sign says you close at 10:00, she replied Im so sorry... if I were the owner I wouldnt like that being said to a customer.
