Stopped for an early dinner. The place is very clean; although tightly packed seating. Service was extremely fast. Food was excellent and very flavorful. Will certainly visit again.

Food was a little bland for my taste. Still fresh and tasty. Good sized portions.

The service is pretty quick and straightforward. I can't say the drink are very strong compared to Chili's and that's not not a great thing since I would think a Mexican Restaurant would have stronger drinks but get you some extra shots and you'll be fine. The food is pretty good. I enjoy the atmosphere and you can always meet nice ppl at the bar.

Had the place to ourselves at around 3:30 pm. Food was phenomenal. Queso, salsa and chips were great. We had the Campechanos tacos(steak and chorizo). Very good food, very good prices.

This is a great place to visit if you love Hispanic cuisine like I do, but this restaurant, to me, doesn’t tenderize their steak enough, so I always get chicken if I order something. But the alcoholic beverages they serve are great . I had some Don Julio one day there and I really like it.
