I love this place and the food is amazing. Our waiter was super sweet and on the ball.
Very nice atmosphere inside and out although they could have some of the seats recovered it still looked nice. Service was great, salsa was very fresh & homemade. Food portions were huge and the food was delicious! My plate was a pick 2 and I got the chicken chimichanga which was nice & crisp and filled with a delicious shredded chicken served with rice and beans & a pork Tamale that had huge chunks of tender pork on top the thick corn tamale...very yummy! My husband got the 10 inch steak burrito which was fantastic the steak was tender had a wonderful charbroiled taste to it with sautéed onions & smothered in cheese sauce! Watermelon margarita was super delicious & draft beer was nice and cold with very fair prices. Very happy we came here
Food is amazing as always. Staff are friendly and get your food out in a timely manner.
Great place to eat. Friendly staff. Good prices. Great food and good portion sizes. We had lots of leftovers for lunch the next day.
Went with dessert first and had the cheesecake chimi and it was bomb. Had the steak chimichanga and it was pretty good. Chips and salsa are amazing!
My family eats here at least once a week usually and sometimes more. The staff are awesome, and they even accommodate me when I order things that are not on the menu. They always serve generous portions at a fair price, and the quality of the food is consistently good. We love Mexican food and have eaten at many different Mexican restaurants. I can honestly say this is probably one of the best if not the best of them all.
Stopped in for a early lunch while in Sweetwater we loved the food. Neither one of us could finish. Portions were very good prices were too. Just wish this place was closer to home we'd be going much more often. Thank you!
We enjoyed take out. The food was delicious. My son love the chips and dip. I love the food and so did our dog. She loved how they made her chicken cutlet diced to place with her dry meal when we got home.
