Joseph J.

Great food. Great service. My friends and I have frequented this place a few times over the past few months. The food and service is generally consistent. The last time I went I left my sunglasses and the staff saved them in the office for me. I'm pretty basic when it comes to Mexican food but I do enjoy the chicken tacos. The complimentary chips and salsa are delicious. They also have great margaritas. If you're looking for margaritas and Americanized Mexican food, look no further. These people serve it well.

I honestly enjoyed this restaurant. I got number 171 meal on the menu it was delicious. The salsa was good and the servers was very tentative in making sure we had everything. Highly recommend!

Jonathan E.

Outstanding service. 5 out of 5 stars. We were seated, given our drinks, chips, and queso dip literally in less than 3 minutes. The server did a wonderful job and our food was hot and delicious. I wouldn't have remembered, but I had left my jacket at my table. While I was getting into my car the server assistant ran out to find me to give me my jacket back! Good peeps, thank you El Vaquero!
