"Maybe we hit them up on a bad day (a slowly Sunday) but the food was pretty disappointing, the chicken soft tacos did not have any seasoning on them and so much sour cream it was 2/3rds of it...and made the whole dish cold.The quesadilla was just chicken and a very small amount of cheese, no vegetables just a ton of oil in the to go tray, so much that the quesadilla was soggy, it was literally just chicken and like a sprinkle of cheese, no exaggeration.The meals were also inconsistent, I ordered chicken tacos and asked if they could do a steak tacos as well, the chicken tacos had lettuce, tomatoes and some cheese...the steak tacos literally were just steak in a tortilla.The food overall tasted like it was not fresh and something just tasted off, almost like an artificial/chemically taste to it...it was strange.I don't really enjoy criticizing the quality of others work because it's their livelihood but at the same time something definitely has to give here. I would be willing to try them 1 more time in hopes it was a bad day but overall I probably will never return. I was expecting at least bit better than a chain chili's restaurant and was surprised when a chili's restaurant beat out this place.I highly doubt we will return here again simply due to the fact most of the issues above are visible and noticeable....so they could easily be fixed...they were just CHOSEN to be ignored."

"I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. On our way to a different location my wife and I stopped here for lunch. The interior Is clean and well organized with appropriate decor As well as music at an appropriate volume. Given the lighting fixtures it is obviously formally a steakhouse however, they have done a good job of turning it into a Mexican restaurant. The prices were reasonable given the locale. The best part of the meal for me was the salsa that came with the chips. The salsa was above average in flavor. The rice while flavorful, was on the dry side. A little more moisture would've made that flavorful rice exceptional. The taco was generous with the amount of meat in the filling. The only issue being that the meat was greasy and under seasoned. The taco while visually appealing was rather bland in flavor and needed something else. Possibly some onion or maybe some cilantro as well as some seasoning on the beef other than salt. The burrito also had a generous amount of filling. The issue with the burrito was that it was greasy and needed some seasoning. The only season in used appeared to be a copious amount of salt it was quite salty. The sauce on the burrito was sparse. It definitely needed more sauce. My wife ordered the fajitas Texas. She stated While the shrimp were cooked perfectly the steak and chicken were overcooked and it was somewhat greasy. There was no defined seasoning on it other than the flavor of a greasy grill. I am rather toying between going with a two or three star because in addition to the food the staff was inattentive. When we came in all of the staff were just hanging out playing on their phones and on a computer and we had to wait until somebody noticed us to get seated. When we were done eating and ready to leave we eventually gave up on waiting on the check and just walked to the register and then had to wait again until somebody looked up from their phone or their computer to see that we were standing there. I will be generous and give this three stars but it really deserves a 2.5."
