Customer Reviews

"This restaurant gets a four star review simply because of the environment and service. I have no complaints about the food. It is very tasty and well presented. The environment however is relatively dirty and dingy. Depending on the night the service isn't great either. However, this doesn't stop me from coming back fairly regularly."

"Excellent food and excellent service. Was here with a large party after a business meeting and they did a great job of accommodating is well."

- Rodney H.

"A good Mexican food dining experience. Like most small time Mexican style food restaurants, they usually offer similar dishes and prices, which in this case was good. Staff are good as well, patient and kind. The food came out pretty quick, considering I was with family, which totaled to 6 of us. Food quality was alright, really greasy, but I can't complain, I'm no Gordon Ramsey, but food tasted alright. Great experience if you're in the Mexican cuisine mood in the area."
