Average. Food servings were generous. Waiter with two weeks experience served our group of twelve and did a great job considering. He hung in there and was very pleasant.

I do not recommend this place. We thought this place would be a nice place to go after a nice movie, but we were soon proven wrong. First of all, we payed for every step we took in there. The Margaritas were 13 and a half dollars, for a glass barely bigger than a shot glass. We then ordered Chips and Salsa. First of all, the chips and salsa were 100% bought at a store. Literally tasted like something I'd find at a Dollar Tree. Next of all, we grabbed food. Horrible mistake! The portion sizes were small enough that not even an ant would be full from it. The Enchiladas were so dry, and the "sauce" was actually tomato paste. The beef tasted foul, not to mention the rice. The rice tasted like you poured 100 salt shakers on it, we were coughing because the salt was so overwhelming. Another person at our table got Fajitas, which were 25 dollars for some horrible stuff that was probably 5 bites. The meat tasted like a McDonald's patty. The other person got some kind of Taco Mac and Cheese, it

I've been to many, many Mexican restaurants in my life. Unfortunately and disappointingly, I can't count this as one of them. The margaritas were so sugary and limey that they were barely drinkable, and IF they had tequila in them you couldn't remotely taste it. As for the food....wow....it's as if the "chef" who made the menu only ever looked at pictures of Mexican food without ever actually tasting it. We ordered the shrimp and steak fajitas and the steak was way overcooked, the veggies undercooked, and we're pretty sure the shrimp (all four of them) were precooked and previously frozen. They didn't even look or taste grilled. We might try this place again for a drink (not a margarita) and music, but we won't be ordering food. We only gave it two stars because our server was very attentive and friendly.
