This place used to be my go to after work happy hour spot. The owner, Gregorio and his staff are extremely friendly, I could go there solo and feel welcome. The ambience is nice, warm and welcoming. For food, I generally get the nachos with ground chorizo, and add their crazy hot, hot sauce…oh sooo good!!!! If you sit at the bar during HH, they give you complimentary cheese quesadillas which are good and cheesy, but I tend to stay away from the freebies so I can leave room for their nachos. I'm tempted to try other things on their menu, but can't steer away from the nachos…geez!
I've been reading that they've had liquor licensing issues, so hopefully that problem has been resolved so they can continue to get their HH crowd through the door.

Empty for sunday brunch..orders took toooooo long to come out. mu food looked good but it was way to salty to even eat. I eat a lot and everything and i could not finish this plate of food from the salt on it. My friends had mimosas and they were ok. It just seems that services is declining, no wonder people are giving it 2 stars.
A beer and fajitas..enjoyable. Friends also seemed to like mole, chimichanga and enchilada. Maybe not the best Mex I've ever had, but at least not a wasted trip.
Had a very nice dinner, my first. The space and food aren't fancy. But there's good value here. Portions are generous and everything was delicious. Service was also reasonably attentive.
As soon as we sat down, we were given a nice, big basket of free tortilla chips with a thick, mild salsa. The guacamole was also very good.
And the nachos appetizer is huge — loaded with cheese, refried beans (but no guac). Three of us ate all of it but it could easily been shared by four or five people.
For main courses, the chicken and beef chimichanga was huge, big enough for two.
There's also a selection of more than half a dozen vegetarian main dishes. The spinach burrito was draped in a layer of melted cheese. And for a lower calorie selection, I had the primavera burrito with a mix of cooked vegetables — they were beautifully seasoned and delicious.
The tortillas were all really fresh. The white sangria was lovely.
For dessert, the tres leches cake wasn't super-drenched and not overly sweet either. We also liked the crepes, which were filled with a caramel sauce and served with ice cream — eat it hot because as the caramel cools, it hardens the crepes pretty fast.
Yes, I would definitely go back. Good for a crowd or a quiet dinner for two.
Chicken Fajitas were good. My friend loved her strawberry Margarita. Food was good. Typical Mexican food. There's outsdoor seating with a view of the parking lot. I would return for this area this is a nice place.
I've been here numerous times with my girlfriend. While the food here will not blow you away, its definitely a nice experience. The crab guacamole is a must try, even if the crab is canned. The soda is occasionally flat but that's to be expected from a place that makes delicious house margaritas and pina coladas. For anyone on a budget, they have excellent dinner specials Sunday through Thursday as well as a mariachi Friday through Sunday, in case you want your special someone serenaded (and you can't sing).
Came here when the name was different about 7 yeasr back. I believe it's the same owners as before. The food was great. My wife had the xin xc fish which was a very unique taste. I had the shrimp Chimichangas. the shrimp was under-cooked but it still tasted good. the mariachis sang nice and didn't bother anyone who didn't want to be bothered. the bar has happy hour deals but only for people dining there. over all it was a good experience.
Honestly, this place is nothing special. I've been here a few times and I always leave with the thought that I've had better Mexican food at other places.
You start with a (big) bowl of tortilla chips and salsa – a staple at any Mexican restaurant but these are lukewarm/cold (in other words right out of a bag). It would be nice if they made their own chips, or at least warmed them before serving. Their guacamole is pretty good, though I will say they make it on the chunkier side. I don't mind extra chunky guac but others may like it smoother.
Their main dishes are just okay; they're tasty but not the best I've had. It's hard to describe specifics, if I had to I would say my chimichanga was greasy and my burrito was kinda small and falling apart. They put shredded cheese on the refried beans but it's all congealed by the time it gets to the table. The food overall is underwhelming.
The atmosphere is okay, it's a small dining room with touches of Mexican decor throughout, but for me it looks kind of makeshift. I feel like it can easily be converted to another type of restaurant with a quick change in wall decorations. Service is okay, though I will say the wait staff is a little cold.
Overall, it's easy and convenient if you're in the area or as a last resort – just know it's not the best Mexican out there.
