My family and I love this place ! The food and drinks are always delicious. The wait staff are always very polite and attentive to our needs . I got the carnitas plate yesterday and it did not disappoint. Give it a try and you’ll be glad you did .

One star is too much, we took my mom to celebrate her birthday it all started good but they took almost an hr to get the food for our table.
When it finally arrived my husband’s plate was wrong we asked for the beef and shrimp fajita plate specifically said no onions or chicken, my mom asked for double rice and enchiladas- it was wrong too. My husband didn’t want to return the plate because the wait time had been too long but the waiter insisted since he heard me complaining lol they took it back removed the chicken and literally there was 3 shrimp and like 10 mini pieces of meat for $$28.39 and the salad had picadillo with onlions I had to remove them from the plate right before I took the picture My sister ordered caldo the res and she couldn’t eat the meat it was too rubbery my kids asked for milanesa and their meet was bad as well total we paid $180 and nobody even ate. So think twice before choosing this place.

I don't know how this place has so many good reviews, if you like tasteless coffee, tasteless Mexican wanna be food, I can't even call this tex mex, then you have to try this, but if you really like Mexican food or even Tex-Mex do not come here. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Everything was pretty much gross. only
thing that was good were the tortillas. Those are really good. Menudo tasted like it was reheated from last week and mixed in with a Menudo from this week, the enchilada sauce, and the Chilaquiles sauce is the same sauce. Little too sour needed lots of salt ,beans seemed canned and that salsa was definitely canned, waiter was cool, . would give zero states if could,

We went here on a Sunday for brunch. We were able to get a table for 12 pretty easily so that was great. We sat on the patio - it's covered with fans and it was very pleasant even for end of May.
Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food just was very average. Huevos con chorizo y papas was fry and underseasoned. Honestly it wasn't better than what you would cook at home in a skillet. I had huevos rancheros and they were pretty good but there was no spice or heat level. The Micheladas were very good, everyone liked those. Final thing, and the largest, the Mexican shrimp cocktail - every shrimp had not been deveined. You could see the innards and no one serves it this way bc it's gross and unappetizing. Had I ordered it I would have sent it back.
Overall a mid experience. Food wasn't bad, but just fairly average.

I went here for brunch with a big group. The plates were really big and will definitely fill you up. However, I thought that the food was not the best. They have a bakery at the entrance where you can buy conchas and other sweet bread.

I’ve never had a bad meal here. I prefer the chilaquiles for breakfast, bistek ranchero for lunch/dinner. The Caldo (soup) is excellent and not a puny portion. I dare anyone to finish the caldo de res in one sitting and not have to loosen up their belt.

The food was good but not what I was expecting. My Milanese was good but my fiancés was not good at all. He said it tasted like grass and dirt. The margaritas were amazing! The service was also great! Maybe we’ll just try something different next time

Fresh flour tortillas, amazing ambiance, friendly staff, and great tasting entrees. The pan dulce (sweet bread) looked amazing but we were too stuffed to eat more. These dishes were not on the menu but, they accommodated upon request. Their salsa is my favorite. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I did however, knock off a star for service because the took nearly an hour to come out and it wasn’t piping hot, as if it had been forgotten a bit. To give some grace, the restaurant was fairly busy. I’ve been to both of their locations several times and the food and friendly staff is a constant. This is a treat for us for breakfast/brunch despite being 30min away, it is totally worth the drive.
