My co-worker and I went here for lunch hoping to have an enjoyable experience cause of the such good reviews we read, however that just the opposite. When we entered the restaurant it reaked of a disgusting smell, should have taken the hint then, however we sat down anyway. The server was rude and bland acting as if our being there was annoying to him. He served us hard chips with salsa that had NO flavor. I ordered the Breakfast tacos thinking " Chorizo, Egg and Beans?" you cannot mess that up, well I was wrong. It looked like dog food. I will never be back again, and I will make sure that none of the people I know will be back either.

We were lucky to get a good waiter. He unfortunately couldnt help with the biggest problem. You dont know what you are going to get for food. They list some ingredients but not all and leave ingredients out. It seems like the kitchen doesnt know their own menu! The food is good but I need to know when you are changing what I order. I would have given it two stars because of the ingredient mix-ups but the waiter was an extra star.

Horrible service, waited 45minutes for dinner. Husband received his meal but waiter, who appeared to be moree intersted in the 20 something year old that came in forgot to even order my meal. Will never eat here again. The only reason they got 1 star is that is the lowest rating allowed. SAD

Love this place! The people are very friendly and the service is incredible. Went there with my friends the other night and had a great time! The people there are always smiling and the restaurant is so pretty and festive inside. Love it very much.

Waiter kept bringing out Margaritas without asking if I wanted another I asked for a shot of tequila he did not ask me what kind brought me the smallest shot I have ever seen in my life and charged $7 and it was Jose Cuervobut. Food was good !

The service here is excellent, management always makes a point of checking on us! The drinks are made perfectly, the food is good too. We come here regularl, especially on Wednesdays, dollar tacos, enchiladas and chimichangas night...

Worst take out experience ever. Food was cold. I had no cheese on my tacos and the taco shells were stale. All this even after waiting for them to remake the order since it was made wrong the first time. Will never eatvthere again

Great service but not very good food and horchata was kinda weird tasting. I am from Southern California so I might have a higher standard for Mexican food. 3 stars really only because service was great. Based on food, 1*

I ordered pork chops, shrimp, bacon plate. It was delicious the only bad part is that they forgot to put the bacon. I told the waitress about it and he says that he will go and get, instead he brought me the bill!!!!

Food was pretty good, they forgot some key ingredients on the wifes Carne asada, and the waiter didnt seem to know much English, kinda just did the caveman nod, but was pretty good

Great lunch experience. Enchilada, chalupa and soft taco. The service was good and the ingredients were top notch. We had a late lunch but the place was not crowded at all.

I have had Chile Rellenos and Tamales from lots of places. This place has some of the best around. If you are traveling on 95 in Virginia pull off at exit 45 and eat here.
