Besides the wait, the food was delicious. I wish since the wait, we would of gotten hot food. The food is very tasty. Just a... hotter temperature would be excellent. I do recommend this place though. Read more

Three of us went here for dine in. The service was okay. Looked like they were short handed. The service staff members were very... young and seems like they needs to learn more as you can see in photos they provided food and chips but not silverware. Even wehad to ask for water multiple times. The waiter keeps forgetting and when we ask he just kept laughing on himself But the foodwas really amazing and they tried their best. Read more

We were there yesterday (28-Jun). Not sure whether it was weekday evening or the sun is setting on this joint, the restaurant... was almost empty and only 2-3 tables were occupied. anyway, we were a party of 5, got the table, and settled ourselves. Giannawas our server and she did a good job. Usual- Nachos bucket came with 5 bowls of salsa. We orderedbelow Drinks: -------------- Mangonada Margarita: No doubt, the best cocktail on their menu. Sweet mango mixed with chilipowder (Spicy Tajin), tango taste, and frozen it is. Perfect.!! Mango Margarita: Margarita with Mango- it was good MojitoClasico Cherry Lime Rum Rita: Rum with lime and cherries Pineapple Rum Punch All drinks were amazing and we don't have anycomplaints in that department. Appetizers: ---------------- Border Sampler: Chicken quesadillas, Nachos, Flautas, and Fajitachicken (we asked to replace steak with chicken and they obliged) Guacamole Live!: Gianna came up with all the ingredients andmade live Guac. it wasn't mixed properly as Guac came with Appetizer and this live Guac - the taste was totallydifferent Entrees: ---------------- VEG Burrito: Can't comment as we had one veg person and seems he wasn't much interested inthis Chicken Fajitas: Fajita is my fav dish in Mexican cuisine and never ever have I got a less quantity like this (in thepicture). Fewer Veggies, and less chicken (chicken taste was good though) but they just cut breast pieces and served themsimply. Fish Tacos 3 Pc: this was the worst item we got. The oil in which fish was fried, was very bitter in taste. MexicanGrilled Chicken: it was good. all the items come with side dishes like rice-beans-guac-tortillas. fajita and tacos:disappointed us. I guess the only item we liked was Mexican grilled chicken. overall Drinks- Good Appetizer- Good Entree: notgood Brownie Sundae- We had a birthday boy in the group so they provided brownie Sunday for free...

Really delicious from start to finish and plus it's gluten free. They start you off with a bowl of fresh chips and salsa which... is really delicious. I ordered the grand fajitas and the nachos and both were really delicious. The only bad thing was that thesour cream you actually have to pay for. Read more

Was super surprised by this chain restaurant. It was very good, the drinks were strong and they had a special so they were cheap... and not even cheap liquor. The food came out quickly and had great flavor. Aly was our waiter and even though he was new he wasattentive. Read more

I picked this spot to get lunch for my clients. I arranged an 11:45am pick up and they accepted the order. I arrived at about... 11:43 and tried to open the door and there was a sign saying they weren't open til 12:30. I became livid. I called the catererand ran to the Chili's next door to try and order from there. When the catering company got in touch with the restaurant firstthey wanted me to knock then I finally figured out there was a to go door. There was no sign or anything. When I asked for mymeal the manager said 5 more minutes. It was 12pm at this time and I was already late. 20 minutes later they came out with myfood. Talk about being livid. When I got to the client's and took the food out half the meals weren't sealed and couldn't besealed smdh. The only good thing about this experience was the food wasn't that bad. Read more
