The place was quiet when I went there. The staff is somewhat attentive. Cant say he was good cause there was only two tables occupied and we had to remind him about drinks a couple of times. Speaking of drinks when I got my check this place charges for refills so beware. It says it on the menu but if youre gonna have something like soda who looks at it on the menu. When I got the check I wasnt happy to find out that I was charged for 3 sodas that I drank. They tasted horrible to boot. At $2.50 each I was less than happy to pay for the check. I did bring it to the waiters attention and he told me that they dont do that there and it says it on the menu, he then showed me where it says it on the menu. I dont have a problem paying for something thats worth it but its the principle of it. Doesnt seem right. I have worked in food service before and I know it doesnt cost the restaurant much to serve soda. They hookup a canister to the bar gun and crank them out like that. Its not like theyre serving bottles or cans of soda. This put a sour taste in mouth for this place. Gets me thinking what else theyre skimping on? Go to this place with caution and dont order soda for the love of God!!!

I am sorry to say that the food was VERY disappointing except for a very fresh guacamole and decnet rice and beans. The chicken was INEDIBLE and of the poorest quality in the Enchilada Suisa. The shrimp in green sauce was tough and boring and not the least bit Mexican in taste. For the price of an entree, the owners could buy better quality meat. Too bad the place is so bad in a neighborhood that needs good restaurants.

Had a fajita al pastor and it was so bad I found myself adding salt just to add sometype of flavor.... like who doesnt know how to season meat properly??? They need to change the chef. ASAP. The salsa for the chips was way too watery and the only flavor it had was the chunks of white onion .Im never going back again! Lost a great customer b/c I love eating out.

Terrible food, I think this may be the only eatery in this neighborhood that manages to screw up a skirt steak! The tortilla chips were good though, hence the only star. I dont want to diss the other reviewers, but if you gave this sad excuse for a restaurant more than 2 stars you probably never eat in a decent restaurant.

We love our neighborhood mexican place! Doubly so since they got their liquor license :) Great staff and really tasty dishes. My favorites are their chicken nachos and the Pollo y camarones con champiñones dish (chicken and shrimp on rice with an orange mushroom sauce, tastes amazing).

Well. I was expecting more from this restaurant. The guacamole tasted like "fridge" and the meet had a weird flavour. Also, the way they serve the food shows lack of imagination and delicacy. This is the only nice mexican restaurant around. They should make a better job.

My wife & I had the worse food and experience. The price is higher than most and the food had no taste and when I asked why the price was high, I was told because they can. Tasted the food. Sent it back and walked out. NEVER eat here. Write them off.

Went for lunch and ordered chicken enchiladas. You get a good amount of food for the lunch special price but the food was very disappointing. Watery, weak flavored salsa, overcooked chicken, bland rice and beans. Wont be returning.

Unfortunate service, portion size and wait so that food was cold. Managers response was that they were just too busy. Would not recommend. There are other Mexican places in the neighborhood.

One of the best vegetarian taco salads Ive ever had. I also recommend the black bean soup. The pico de gallo is also full of flavor. I look forward to going back.
