The food was OK. Nothing really special. On this day, or waitress seemed to be too busy flirting with the manager (I presumed) to pay much attention to us. The dishes came out at different times, in almost 5-10 minute intervals. The food was OK, nothing really outstanding. And the most important side to bring with a dish, the tortillas, were never brought out. It took my guest asking 4 separate times and about 15 minutes after the last dish was dropped off to bring the tortillas. To add insult, they were not cooked completely. At one point when my guest asked about the tortillas, the waitress told her, rudely I might add, "tell me" when she walked up. It appeared she was annoyed with us or her work. Either way when it comes to service, in my opinion, that is one of the most important things a restaurant can provide to keep customers coming back. Im pretty sure next time we are looking for a restaurant to go to, this will not be it. Especially because my wife got a little sick when we got home.

Weve been coming here since it opened... about half of the time through the drive-thru... Never a quick visit, but usually worth it. Yesterday we visited and I was surprised and disgusted to see that some Jehovah Witnesses had set up a huge display of propaganda, complete with billboard and chairs. The only thing I want to read there is a MENU. If I want religion/spirituality, I dont get it with my tacos. Even our son said we should complain, so I asked for the manager, Isabel, and she flat out lied and said she was not aware of them being there. An hour later we drove past and they were still there. I spoke to another manger called Omar this morning, and he had heard of my complaint the day before, but said that the owner allows them to peddle their religion on the property. I dont let people promote their religion on my porch, and I wont go out to eat where they are camped outside. We will not return until they go back to selling food without a side of cult.

The waitstaff is very uncourteous. I took my two young daughters she go grab a quick bite to eat. Ordered our drinks and got them about 10 minutes later. Out of the drinks I ordered a sweet tea in a to-go cup but ended up getting and unsweet tea in a regular cup. I tried to get the waitresses attention but she would not even look my way so I went up to her to let her know that my tea was unsweet she grabbed the cup and forcefully through it in the dish bin. We literally waited another 15 minutes and still no tea. My daughters were hungry because we hadnt ordered yet. What ended up doing it for me was I want to waitress came back she didnt have my sweet tea in a to-go cup. When she saw me look at her she dashed back to the front register where I had already began to grab my girls and told them lets go. All the wait staff are very rude I really dont think Ill be going back again

Decided to try this new place for breakfast. Stopped by the drive-thru ordered two bacon and egg and one bean and cheese tacos. There was no line in front or behind me. Pulled up the window I got my tacos and left. Decided to check the order while putting gas and they had given me two guisada tacos. Went back to the place and told them the problem and was given the food I had ordered(wasted 30 min). The tacos didnt taste that great. The bacon was too chunky and not cooked enough to my liking. Beans had no flavor. The salsa was watery and had no flavor. If you order two of the same they put both tacos in one foil wrapper instead of individually wrapped. If this is the type of food they serve for breakfast, then I wont even bother trying the dinner menu. If you want mexican food head on over to Las Palapas next door.

Breakfast tacos are good. Especially bean and cheese. Just make sure to double check and count your order. Tortillas are nice and thick and the homemade kind. No store bought taco bell crap. Sweet tea is similar to Bill Millers. Convenient drive through is a huge bonus with little kids in tow. Sometimes they go a bit overboard with the beans in my tacos. If you are like me and like a 50/50 taco, make sure to ask for light beans, as theyre always spilling out in excess. Potato & egg is great too. Beans are flavored btw but I cant quite pinpoint what the flavor is. Not spicy. Not bland. Check your tacos to make sure a rogue giant piece of jalapeño didnt get in if youre allergic. Drive through wait time is better than Tink-a-Tako and foods better too. Plain cheese enchiladas are ok. Rice and beans are yummy though!!

This is by far one of the worst places to eat. Manager over charged us then told us he did while also telling us he cant fix it. Ordered a michelada that was really bad but said I cant return it because It already got served to me. Beer was really old and food order came out wrong 3 times. Told him I didnt want the food and he told me yet again It was already charged that he wasnt gonna take it off the ticket. Managers name is Omar. Despite all the health reviews this place serves food at a good price but Id rather pay a little more at las palapas for better food, service and not be made fun of in Spanish right in front of my face. Omar thought I didnt know Spanish.

New place, thought we would try it out for lunch. I got the mini tacos and the barbacoa was HORRIBLE. Super dry, made me want more to drink. But wait the service was terrible and I never got my tea filled up one time. On top of that i was over charged by two dollars and didnt realize it until doing the math after I left. I asked the "manager" for a tea to go considering my tea was never filled up one time and he said "we are going to have to charge for that" I told him about the lack of service and not getting my refill yet he insisted that I needed to be charged. There are a million other mexican places out there, do not waste your time with this one.

The food was delicious and the prices were fantastic but my brother in law got lingua and he told the manager he didnt like it and asked if he could order something else and he said yes. He went to pay and the manager was trying to force my brother to pay for something he didnt eat, my brother also being a manager in the restaurant business told him hes never made a customer pay for food he did not like and did not eat. The manager was so rude and waved his hands at my brother. And on top of that our waitress was terrible and we felt very uncomfortable with her. Id go through the drive thru but I will never eat inside again.

It was good when it first open the service and food was excellent, then as they started getting more noticed and expanded the restaurant the service and food got bad and they over charged me twice and my wife once and recently they over charged my father n law I was a regular since we lived right around the corner .... I will never come here again and I recommend that everyone that comes here please check your bill before paying they will over charge you and if you dont catch your out of luck .....hope this helps every one wanting to come here
