Stayed at the Econolodge, next door. Great rooms and rates. Came here for dinner. Great food and awesome atmosphere. Will come again.
Jim FazzoneAugust 29, 2013Quality has flip-flopped over the years due to kitchen/managerial changes. Good cocktails and sangria, but the menu is mostly a miss.
- Christina SeesMarch 9, 2010My favorite thing I've eaten here is the filet medallions. Their nachos are also the best I've ever had.
alison geislerJanuary 31, 2010they have the coolest hand dryers in the bathrooms. go in and try them even if you don't need to.
- My favorites are the tamales and the enchilada mole. So good!!
Pat "Donnie" DJuly 6, 2012Queso dip is nacho cheese and pico de gallo is crap. Margaritas were decent at least.
Katie CoteJune 5, 2014So gross. Ordered the "hot salad" ...chicken was definitely not fresh and the cheese was grossly processed.
Julia McCurdyApril 11, 2012Jessica M is correct. This place is literally the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Abominable.
1April 22, 2011Wow, either this place has gone way down hill or they are having a really bad night! Worst. Tacos. Ever!
Jennifer JacksonOctober 4, 2011The worst mexican food ever! Would never go back...food is bland and taco's are soggy. Meeeeh!!!!

"Nice small outlet center. Pepperidge Farm and Old Navy are my favorites. It's also nice to stop by the Marquee Cinemas with their good prices, comfy seats and nice screens."
