"Last night we ordered take out here. not wanting to cook at home and take a break. BIG MISTAKE! Last few times the food has NOT tasted as good as once before when we 1st came here but we decided to try again to service are local town.My husband is never sick and built like a bull. this morning we believe he has food poisioning from his trio platter we got from take out here last night. Its the only thing he had all day besides breakfast. The $70 we spent in fresh to order TAKE-OUT food that wasnt that hot once home and very bland in flavor. i did meantion we are in the area so it shouldnt need reheating being just down the block. This outcome wasnt worth him missing work today and being severely sick. This establishment should be ashamed there not having better food handling and the OSHA- FDA whoever is in charge with food handling should be notified ASAP!!! This is terrible to witness. He feels like his dieing.There is far better spots in the area. This is garbage authentic Mexican food. I will never come here EVER again. WASTE OF HARD EARNED WORKING FAMILYS MONEY ! ITS BEEN 5HRS OF HIM PUKING AND GOING TO THE BATHROOM... I KNOW ITS FROM THIS FOOD!"

Seeing this place you wouldn?t think the food is as amazing as it is! I?ve never had a steak taco leave me speechless, it wasn?t over seasoned, wasn?t tough or fatty, it was simply perfect! The staff are helpful and amazing! Please try this place, you won?tregret it! Just wow!

First time visit with family and really loved the food. All had taco salads and will definitely try something different next visit. Great atmosphere too! Service could’ve been a tad bit better meaning being more attentive. Other than that it was amazing! Definitely recommend to all. Thank you! View menu

We arrived on a Friday night and saw the parking lot nearby areas were full. We weren 't sure if a wait list would be long, but we took a chance and stayed. Glad we did! We were seated within 5 minutes, drinks in another two minutes. Fast service, andreally polite staff. : After receiving chips salsa, Manuel (very polite server took our order refilled our drinks. Ourfood arrived in under 10 minutes was very hot...no warm lamps here! : Great food quality, hot, and plenty of it. What moreto ask? We were never 'rushed ' even though they were busy. Great place! We plan to return.

This place has been my favorite for over 20 years now. I'm a foodie and have tried several places and this is the best around, by far. When you walk in, you are treated like family. You can seat yourself, if there are booths or tables available. They get busy fast after 5:30 pm. They bring you warm, homemade chips that are incredible and the salsa is perfect...thick with just a little bit of a kick. I have tried the majority of their dishes and everything is absolutely delicious. They have the best Margaritas, too...on the rocks or frozen. Their prices are great for the portions you receive. Most nights our bill is $25 bucks for 2 people. You can't beat that! I can't recommend this place eno...

"This is a real shame to have to review. This restaurant has a cute location and a slightly small, but cozy and nice interior. The good reviews made this a place I wanted to visit as a new resident in town. I have now eaten here twice, once as takeout and again today as a dine-in experience. Both times I have to say the food ranged from below average to genuinely quite poor. During my dining experiences, I ordered Mu Shu Pork, and Mongolian beef. As well as sides of fried rice and egg rolls. The eggrolls are good, peanutty and crispy. Easily as good as most Chinese restaurants, but a bit shy of Chens in Crystal Lake. The rice is perfectly good and average as you would expect for fries rice. The issue is that both main entree offerings I tried were almost inedible. The restaurant tastes like they are using a western cheap brown gravy mix for a lot of their menu items that not only is overly sweet, but lacks any semblance of Chinese food flavor. No taste of hoisin sauce, no sesame oil, no hint of soy or chili oil. It tasted mushy and overcooked and just not really... Like any version of Mongolian pork or Mu Shu I have ever had elsewhere. The most bizarre thing about this is that during my dine in visit today, I heard of the other dining groups in the restaurant with me were either sending back food or complaining about quality among themselves at the same time. I sat quietly and ate, because I was hungry, but the fact that I was not alone in this, matched with the good reviews tells me that this restaurant has recently cheapened it's menu, changed recipes... Something. Edit: Following contact from the restaurant owner regarding the review I do feel the responsibility to clarify that the service was wonderful and the send back I overheard was handled by the staff and I was asked if I was enjoying my meal and I am sure I would have had something else sent out had I requested. I am not one for conflict and opted not to do so because I had already eaten a portion of the food. I appreciate the fact that feedback does seem to be welcomed and taken to heart here. However my stance does stay firm that I was not happy with the entrees either time unfortunately, which I regret to have to say because I love a good Chinese takeout."
