The food here is alright I suppose. The salsa lacked flavor, the chips were nice and crispy. My margarita tasted like straight syrup and my chorizo tacos were a little dry. The service was pretty decent--they were very attentive but it was also an empty restaurant.
We stopped here on our way home from fishing. It was nice and quiet, the servers we fast and attentative. I personally didnt care for the food or the chips and salsa. The salsa tasted salty and typically thats most of the reasons why my girlfriend and I enjoy eating Mexican. The food wasn't bad but ive had better.
If you are in the military and looking for a lunch spot. Avoid this place. There is no one to direct you to table, no one to give you menu. We decided to grab menu from the counter after waiting few minutes. It tooks us 20 min to get water another 45 min to get food. No utensils and napkins, no drinks. Took entire lunchtime and only received one taco and one quessadilla(wet and watery, not what we ordered) for the entire table. It was comical 3 of us watching one sadly soaked quessadilla that we did not order after waiting an hour for the food. Half the customers in the restaurant had to leave before they get food beacuse of time. They are totally incapable of handling the crowd for lunch hour.
Authentic Mexican food, with excellent service & value for your money! Family owned & operated for over 25 years! It feels kinda odd to say it; but I've been coming here for a ¼ Century now, after making this one of my go-to lunch spots back when I was young Trooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, in the autumn of 2000.
The service and food quality has gone done tremendously from what they use to be. The salsa was fresh and chips were crisp, but my Texas fajitas had 3x more veggies than meat and they didn’t add the shrimp that was supposed to come with it. I had to keep asking for napkins and basic things. I won’t be back for awhile.
