Really enjoyed this place when it first opened but after the last two experiences we wont be going back. Few months ago stopped by to get dinner for five of us. Woman behind counter was not friendly or the least bit helpful, basically just rude. Got the food home and the order was wrong. Called to inform them and same woman who waited on us answered. Surprisingly she was unapologetic, unhelpful, and, you got it, rude. Most recently the girls wanted Mexican for Cinco de Mayo. Called at 6:00 pm to place my order so that it would be ready by the time I got there. No answer. Kept calling for the next thirty minutes...no answer just kept ringing. So decided to drive over and place our order. When I arrived they were fairly busy so I went to the counter and before the woman behind the counter offered to help me I noticed her pick up the phone and turn it over. Couldnt believe what I was seeing, she was plugging the phone chord back in. By the way she was acting I doubt that the phone chord just randomly unplugged itself. So anyway she finally asks what Id like, I pull out my list. "I need one order of Carnitas" I start. "No, no Carnitas" she replies. "Uhm, okay." On to my next item. "One order of the Carne Asada tacos platter" I continue. "No Carne Asada." So now Im down to the last three orders out of five and one of them happens to be tacos with, you guessed it, carnitas. "So no pork, no steak, whats left? Chicken and heuvos?" I ask. She she continues to look at me so I wait for a reply. "No carnitas no carne asada...all sold out" she finally replies. To this point shes offered no suggestions, no help, no apologies. I realize its Cinco de Mayo but its not even 7:00 pm on a Friday night and theyre sold out of staple ingredients? Did they not plan on maybe having a few more people tonight. Either way as I said we wont be going back. The staff has been unhelpful and seemingly disinterested in doing business so my business goes elsewhere. Hey El Sol! If youre listening...theres a lot of other restaurants in the area making "Mexican" food. My money will go to whomever treats me and my family as if they appreciate having our business.

This is one of our favorite places to eat and we average about three visits a month. Everything is made fresh to order, the service is fast and you can depend on your meal being hot and tasty. We have tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They make the best taco salad in town because it does not have refried beans in it. Not that I dont enjoy some refried beans, but most taco salads you order are over powered by them i stead of the nice fresh lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, and lots of good chicken, steak, or shrimp.

You can ignore any negative comments Ive seen so far. This place always is a favorite for me and my coworkers. The food is always fresh and lots of it. This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in the area. Ive always been amazed by their fresh salads. The lettuce and accompanying vegetables are crisp and flavorful. When I have a favorite restaurant, I usually have one or two favorites I order. Here I always order whatever the special is since every dish Ive had is soooo good! The price is really good mostly averaging $9 to $10.

I come from a border town in AZ so am picky about my Mexican food. I was pleasantly surprised that it is authentic as it is. Weve had enchiladas and chumigangas with all of their sauces and salsas. Fresh, tasty, and filling. The older woman tends to wear a scowl but doesnt bother me much considering you order and pay and thats the end of the exchange. Other staff are friendly and service is impeccably fast which more than makes up for it.

Meh. I ordered the ceviche, a grilled fish taco and a shrimp taco. The ceviche had a combination awful spicy hot sauce and extremely limey marinade, and came with with under-ripe avocados, making all of it inedible. The grilled fish taco was probably the best thing, but came covered in raw onions. The shrimp taco contained barely any shrimp. Id be willing to give the place one more chance but my hopes that it will be better arent high.

We really enjoy the food here. Stopped tonight and was at the counter to order at 8:30. Guy said they are closed. The hours are clearly posted until 9. There were several tables in there and they had food. I said about closing is at 9. The guy said sorry, we already cleaned up. Very poor customer service. I dont care how good the food is. If you dont treat people right, they wont be back.

I stopped by to grab dinner around 8:05 and the place was locked despite the sign showing they were open until 9. There were employees inside who walked to the back as soon as I pulled up and ignored my presence. This place used to be one of my favorite Mexican places, great guac, fresh food, etc. I will think twice before going back.

By far the best Mexican food in the area. Fresh ingredients, cooked and spiced well, with fast service. The salsa bar is excellent if you want to take it up a notch. Pricing is very reasonable. Just wish they were open Sundays.

Service was quick, but the food was bland and not a lot of taste. One downside is they dont give you chips and salsa. A Mexican resturant that doesnt privide chips OMG.

Amazing. I try to eat here at least once per week. Like its big brother in Harrisburg, everything is fresh and by far the best Mexican in the area.
