OMG.. The food was amazing. Probably the best Mexican food that i have EVER had. Even the chips and salsa where fantastic! Their mango margaritas are to die for. I will definitely be back!!!

Husband's new favorite! He loved his ground beef chimichanga. My taquitos were quite good, as well. Service was great. The star, though, was the fried ice cream (see photo). The only negative was the same as others have said--- salsa is very bland. It has no heat. They do have hot sauce on the table, which we added to help, but it was still very thin. Chips are too thick, but ok. Fix the chips and salsa and it would be five stars.

(Updated Review)Been here four times and I have been to other Mexican restaurants but still this is the only one that I like the most.. There is a big menu and reasonable prices. This restaurant is owned by a family which makes it even better and more authentic and the customer service is nice its not beyond expectations but i never feel like the waiters dislike me so I feel fairly comfortable. The refried beans were really good when I went the other day, the chips and the salsa and guac is by far the best I have had out of the places I have been to the Chips, Salsa and Guac have a unique taste and the guac is fresh and the chips taste really good, I tried the hot salsa and its the best out of the other Mexican Restaurants I have been to. Lemme also say real quick ignore all the past negative reviews of this place people keep giving it biased negative reviews and even one time I was there and a lady complained about their water saying well water tasted better. Do not let the negative r
