"We walked in for dinner and immediately felt like the restaurant was about to close. I later noticed that there were no posted hours, so maybe they close when it’s slow. The staff seemed surprised with every new patron who entered, creating a strange atmosphere. The chips and salsa that arrived at our table were tasty, and I appreciated the smooth salsa instead of pico. Our waitress appeared very frantic and overwhelmed, despite only having two tables to serve, and she didn’t seem interested in ensuring we had a pleasant experience. We ordered the Freshly Made Guacamole ($10), which was indeed fresh and chunky. My husband chose the steak tacos (three tacos with onion, cilantro, and lime for $14). They were bland but okay—nothing memorable. I opted for the chicken quesadilla, but I didn’t read the menu closely enough to see that it contained mozzarella cheese. Why is there mozzarella in my quesadilla? That was a bit odd. The chicken was so watery that the plate ended up filled with liquid. The tortilla itself was hard, fried in so much oil that it was practically a hard shell. It wasn’t bad, but it certainly wasn’t good, either. While we waited a long time for our check—during which the rest of the staff seemed to be wandering around whistling and playing on their phones—we saw one staff member emptying a serving container of horchata into a bucket. Food service has its tricks, and I was okay with it until I saw our waitress ladle horchata from the bucket to serve to other customers. It just grossed me out. At the very least, take that to the back so I’m not aware that I’m being served “bucket drink.” Overall, I don’t see any reason to return to this restaurant."

"do not go into this restaurant, especially if they have food allergies. I have placed an order of nachos with only grilled chicken and cheese and 3 enchiladas with only grilled chicken and cheese. Once I got the food, I noticed that the afteros shrunked chicken, paprika and swirling on it. I told them that eating was wrong, and I told her once again only grilled chicken and cheese and that my husband could not eat paprika or wobble because of an allergy. she tried to tell me that grilled chicken was and I told her it wasn't and she took it back and they did it right. I asked if the enchiladas were correct. she assured me they were. after visiting our hotel room ate my man the nachos and two bites of an enchilada before he realized that they had paprika and swirling in it. I called the restaurant and told them what happened and how he is now ill and had to take allergy medication. the manager told me he had to go to the hospital and if he had a doctor's letter, then we can talk more about it. I told him this is a serious matter and how we paid for eating what was wrong and now my husband is sick. he told me I wasn't about my men health. I then told him how ridiculous it was and how he had to be checked for her mistake. I told him I'd call a company and make a review. he laughed and said they were not corporate and hanged on me. this place clearly does not care about its customers and seriously lacks customer service skills. I will publish my review of this site to any social media platform and hope that they will see a decline in the business. you shouldn't be open."
