Service was HORRIBLE tonight....worst ever! People standing around and not waiting tables. Sat for 15 minutes before we got... any drinks, nobody came to check if we needed anything after we got our food. Had to go up to the bar and ask to order dessert. Didn't get a bill, had to go to the bar to pay??????????? Food was good as usual:) Read more
I ordered the chorizo burrito. First try, the burrito came barely above room temperature. Second try, same. I ate it anyway... because I didn't want to spend all night while a cook learned how to produce hot food. At the end, the waiter admitted thattheir steam table on the hot line only works some of the time! Basically, they were willing to serve me food that had been heldon a malfunctioning hot line under unsafe temperature conditions for who knows how long! A health inspector would pull all ofthat food off the line immediately and shut it down until it could maintain temperature properly! If I had known beforehand thatthe food had been prepped and held at unsafe temperatures, I would not have eaten it! The fact that neither the cooks or theserver seem to understand or care about the issue is troubling at best. I only hope that I don't end this evening in thebathroom with food poisoning! As far as the quality, the ground beef in the burrito was the same texture as the beans and therewas no sign of chorizo at all. Was as if the cook forgot the chorizo and threw everything else in a blender. Burrito sauce wasrunny and just tasted of unseasoned tomatoes. Overall, the food was bland and questionably prepared. Even the salsa was quitebland and lacked any spicy kick at all. In summary, okay service for mediocre food prepared with dangerous food handlingissues. Will likely NOT return. I'll keep my gambling to an occasional lottery scratcher! Read more
This place has become one of my favorite places for Mexican! They have the best green salsa!
I really enjoyed the beer and the food. Everything was very tasty with generous portions and good price. The staff was also very... nice, I hope they can get a bigger building in the future because I can see them growing this place quite a lot as a Norwalkgrows! Read more

Pretty awesome Mexican food for the money. Good portion size even for lunch. I had the chicken lunch fajitas they were good not... sure if they forgot the seasoning but they were good anyway. If your down in Norwalk give them a try. Read more
