Had the Fajitas Tex for 2. Received a dish/3 compartment tray of cheese, pico de gallo and sour cream-each about 1 tablespoon. Asked for more. Received the tray filled with 2 tablespoons of cheese and 1 tablespoon of pico de gallo. Received the bill. An extra charge of $2.25 for the 3 tablespoons. Will never go back. Owners = Greed!!

We had the worst Mexican food we had ever had. My Chimichanga was just a folded flour tortilla fiiled with tasteless chicken and covered in queso sauce. I had to drown it in salsa to get any flavor.my wife's fajitas were just about all peppers and onions. The rice was bland and the beans actually tasted sweet.

Started with cold beer (16oz or 32oz) and margaritas (excellent); guacamole made fresh at your table (excellent); very good food; not fancy but nicely decorated; friendly staff worked as a team and checked on us frequently.

We have eaten at this Mexican Restaurant for several years. Sometime late in 2011 it was lacking in flavor and service. However, some time early in 2012 it made a complete turnaround. I think they hired a new manager. We had dinner recently and it was outstanding. They created a new menu, improved their wine list, remodeled, and the presentation... More

Waited 40 minutes for food. No one came by to check on us. We checked on status and no one immediately returned. We waited another 5 minutes and they brought us food, but not exactly what we ordered. We ordered meals with chicken and they brought beef. We left not wanting to wait any longer. Very disappointed in service.
