Excellent authentic Mexican food for a good price. Deep fried chile rellenos are great.

Unfortunately their food and service is only good about 15% of the time. finished my beer before put in my order. the reason I keep coming back is that when their food if good it's really good.

Have not been disappointed yet. Try everything once. Careful ordering a large margarita. It's huge. More like for 4 people.

Hot salsa - no warning. Salty beef tacos that were too salty to eat. One was cold. Ordered queso and got a fajita skillet with cheddar and jalepenos on it. I love good mexican food. This isn't it.

Food and drinks are OK, but if you can find another place that would be a good idea.

Worst service, high priced for very commercial, bland food...go to a real Mexican restaurant where you see mexicans eating there! This is like taco house crap. Took forever to get a sopapilla at 2 pm

20 minutes after we ordered they told us they didn't have our item. Why did it take 20 minutes. Horrible service.

Just don't eat here. Worst Mexican food ever. This is not a town that lacks good Mexican cuisine. Avoid at all costs.
