    We miss the mesquite, smokey salsa from years ago, but still love the food and the other salsa. Don't like the replacement for the one we miss. But the fresh tortillas never disappoint.

    Great choices of food for their Sunday bunch. Food stations were kept clean and well stocked. There was even a small section set up just for kids. Service was excellent.

    Taco Tuesday with my family was fantastic! Our server Adrian was amazing. He was so personable and friendly. He came around several times to ensure everything was perfect & we were happy. It was a great experience.

    I made reservations for my party of 12 at 5:30 pm, we were seated after 5 minutes. We had a great location for our table for most of our dinner (in one of their closed areas). Overall our service was great. Our server did his best, he was overwhelmed and was serving many tables at the same time. One of our party's dinner was late and he was given tortilla soup for free for the inconvenience. Our food tasted great and everyone was satisfied with their meals. Would definitely come back.

    Our server was nice .. u can see he was very stressed out / overwhelmed.. however what annoyed me was that he was “sweating a lot” and u can see sweat drops on his forehead and all I could think off is that sweat is gonna end up in my food 🤢 Also the music was too loud and annoying. I love Mexican music but for this kind of environment where there is so much noise coming from everywhere …u need soft calmer music . We r not at bar/dance party !!
