"I will probably never go back! I gave it a one star because the hostess was sweet. My daughter 's and I were seated on the patio (as we had requested) and were completely ignored for over 5 minutes. The waiter finally came and greeted us with, How are y 'all this evening? I was a little put off that it had taken him so long to even acknowledge our presence, but I replied, Pretty good. Thank you. After a very brief pause, he (sarcastically) replied, I 'm good too. Thanks for asking. I ordered our drinks and the table side guacamole. He acted somewhat irritated that we wanted him to make a guacamole for us, but went to get the ingredients. He brought the ingredients to the table and proceeded to prepare the guacamole for us. I attempted small talk with him while he was working, asking if he had made the fresh guacamole many times before. He commented that he had been a waiter there for 8 years and replied, Yes. Way too many times! As he was making it, I noticed he was trying to scoop something out of the mix with his spoon. He repeated it several times and I finally asked him what he was doing. He told me he was trying to get a hair out of the mix. He tried a couple more attempts to capture it with the spoon and finally gave up and went and got another set up to start over. When our dinners finally came, none of us had silverware. He acknowledged that and excused himself to go get us some. We sat looking at our plates of hot food for almost 5 minutes before I was finally able to catch the attention of another worker and requested they bring us silverware so we could eat. Needless to say, our food was not piping hot by the time we finally got to eat it. When our waiter did return, he had no silverware. The food was not that great and the service was snarky and slow. When we finally got the bill, he pointed out to me that we had been charged for two table-side guacamoles, but assured me that one of them had been comp 'd. Are you kidding me? That should never even have been a consideration to charge me for guacamole that had hair in it. It was an absolutely horrible experience. I left the restaurant feeling angry and, at the same time, wanting to cry because I was so upset."

The food was good, but not a whole lot of help was present. One guy seemed to be doing it all.

Good place to eat. I used to work in the kitchen. Staff was serious about good food and service. Management was professional. I'd suggest working here for others if they're in the good industry. -Chris

What a great place for lunch. The menu is far bigger than most other Tex-Mex restaurants in town. The portions are huge and the prices are great. Our waitress was so kind and attentive. We sat in the bar area and really enjoyed the atmosphere there. Definitely recommend dining at this location. View menu

This place was amazing my wife and I got a good mixture of food during a busy dinner time and our server Carson was fantastically helpful and patient even though I talk to much! The salsa was even amazing here! Brisket tacos dos x fish tacos and more and all were super fantastic! My mouth is still watering even though I am stuffed full!

Food was pretty decent, and service was about average. Server had a smile and was competent while performing her duties. I 'd recommend the restaurant strictly because it was good average service and a pretty tasty meal. Meal was delightful minus the fact that my steak meat was way overcooked, and just a touch on the hard side when it came to chewing through it. On the other hand, my tacos AL carbon was a good meal. My wife had the chimichanga and said it was very good. My reasons for the 2 star rating are as follows: #1- the handicapped parking is off to the left of the front entrance and quite a further walk than it would be if those spots were directly in front of the entrance. Instead th...
