Im not a fan of Mexican or southwestern food as it is but I was out celebrating my wife's birthday with family. The restaurant itself is fine. Parking is a little cramped but it's free. I order the strip steak with its fixings. I was none too pleased with it. The steak was really good but the sides were terrible. Everything was flavorless and the green beans tasted like grease. They did give us tons of chips. I typically hate cantina chips but theirs had flavor so they were ok. I ate a lot of those and thankfully because my main course was abysmal. Took over 20 mins for our main courses to come out and i was done in under 10 mins because all i ate was the steak. The portion wasn't that impressive for $25.. but then again had it been I'd have probably been angrier. As another family member tried the green beans they agreed with me. Ultimately i spent time with family so that's the upside. I wasted $45 dollars on that meal. The meal was $25 plus the drink, gratuity because we had 8 famil
The chips are so good! We got chips and salsa but you could eat the chips by themselves. Got the Original Bowl and added steak. Delicious. My wife got the fish tacos. Super fresh and also delicious. And I didn't hate my frozen margarita. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options like the Original Bowl. Parking: Parking lot behind the restaurant.
The food was super bland not a lick of spices (see photo)… I won their wheel on the wall and they gave me a white claw kooze. They served their quesadilla with a salad
