Ive been going here for like 4 yrs, never had an issue. I was so shocked at the service I received when I brought my mom in for the first time. Make a long story short I ordered my food to go over the phone once I realized my mom is allergic to one of their main ingredients, decided to eat my food there. Receive the food and it was not what I ordered. I ordered two chicken and one beef enchiladas (so an extra enchilada than whats on the menu). I get the food and its two beef but I was so hungry I decided not to say anything. My check comes at the end and Im being charged for 3. Yes I shouldve said something at the beginning but heres the catch my waiter argued with me about taking the small charge off, went back to ask the cook what was in my to go who also lied, did not check on me once to see if all was well while I was dining, the servers gossiped about my mom and I in Spanish, and one of the servers was openly sassy. I work in a restaurant and youre never supposed to argue with the customer especially one who is loyal and over such a small charge. Im so disappointed at the 3 people I encountered that day that work there. Im not sure if I want to give this establishment my service again.

Really good food, all made from scratch. Reason for the 1 star off is because my husbands margarita was cloying, and was definitely a bottled mix. Its pretty expensive food. We spent $70 for 2 people, which included 2 meals, 1 alcoholic beverage, and 1 non-alcoholic beverage. Portions are large. Servers were really nice. We will definitely be back.

Had higher hopes for this place, but it wasnt "the one". Chimichangas were soggy (NOT deep fried) and the cornmeal/masa they use for the crunchy taco shells and chips is of low quality (a bit mealy). Dont get me wrong, other than those aforementioned things, the rest of the food was good and the atmosphere is casual and fun.

Carne asada tasted like A1 steak sauce I like A1 but not on Carne asada. I asked the waitress about the Carne asada to make sure what I was tasting she said that they use very little. I liked the chips and salsa. I ate my Carne asada it wasnt bad just confusing to why A1 otherwise fast friendly service.

Lots of food for the price. Both the fajitas and beef enchiladas were very good. I was surprised to have them be one of the only Mexican restaurants Ive eaten at that isnt super greasy. Would recommend to anyone.

Ive been coming here for years and they never disappoint. The food is great, the staff is nice and they even have a flatscreen to watch the game! Ask for the nacho cheese too, its cooked with real jalapenos.

From a Texan family living in Washington, this is the best Mexican restaurant we have been to in two years. Great chips and salsa, margaritas, fajitas. Vegetarian fajitas are legit too!

pretty average honestly, had more flavor from el toro. certainly not bad, worth a visit if youre nearby and in the mood. entire meal just felt lacking, though i still ate it all lol

Good Mexican restaurant in Columbia City. The fajitas and fish tacos were flavourful. I sampled the juevos rancheros and they were excellent.
