We love their food!! We've eaten here at the resturant several times as well as ordering to-go. Even on a busy weekend night they don't keep you waiting very long for your food whether you're dining inside or picking up an order to go.
We used to eat here at least once a week because we loved it so much. The food is not what it used to be, and the service was terrible the last two times I was there. The people I were with each time also agreed that it's just not the same. Not sure I'll ever be back.
My wife and I have been coming here twice a month for 3 years while shopping in the area. We won't be coming back... We would get the fajitas and pay cash because they have a silly surcharge for using a CC. They also add a fee for take out. On 9/19/23 we ordered the fajitas as usual. The service here kinda sucks so we always get the takeout and pay the silly fee. The food is always plentiful - except a time or two - and is quick... Like too quick, quick! That has always made me wonder, how do they get that food out so quick when they are so busy? In any case we got home, opened our food and it stunk. The veggies were clearly spoiled - VERY clearly spoiled. How does no one notice the food is spoiled? We threw the veggies out and ended up with $37 for rice, beans and mildly lame guacamole. To say the least the wife was not happy. I sent 2 emails to their website over the week - no response. I called and got put on an endless hold. I called again an hour later and no answe
