Michael Lombardi
They deserved some grace. You could tell our server was either new or the place was (maybe both?) because there were some things that they had run out of and some questions she needed to consult on. The food was fantastic. The only thing that made anyone pause was the amount of salt in the mashed potatoes. But we’ve never gotten mashed potatoes at a Mexican restaurant before so I don’t know if it’s authentic or they were just off that night (or if they’re always salty). So we skipped those—but there was more than enough food. The place was pretty slow, so the near-empty parking lot made the family apprehensive. But the people eating there were diverse in group type, race, and age, which is always an excellent sign. Would definitely recommend it and eat here again. I don’t usually take photos of food, but it was beautifully plated And because there were so few reviews, I knew it would be important.

Came for the weekend buffet. 1st I want them to succeed...but they can't keep up, not even close. The food was good if you could get it, everything was empty. No plates, no bowls, no food. So many suggestions to make it better...Prep, Prep, Prep!!!!! get rid of the omelet bar. Dedicate 3 people to only restock the buffet, there was one dude designated was running his ass off. Push cocktails, have a designated bartender. No guests at the bar, use it for the buffet, no menu during the buffet. Increase the price by $5 and really make it happen. It's a sinking ship. Who is in charge? No one I'm guessing.

We love that we found another location when we on this side of town!! We usually go to the Tolleson location but extremely satisfied belly's and food was on point. Bathrooms clean and food fast and efficient. Will be returning customers

Came here for an OASA event with my boys and I met sooo many people here. It was so nostalgic seeing the lowriders, classic cars and listening to oldies but goodies. I had such a good time. Drinks and food was delicious!

Sunday Feb. 16, 2025. I ordered my usual tostada penasco. it was perfect. not busy at 135 pm. but it's 230 pm and it's picking up. bathrooms were clean. table was clean. tasted like the tolleson location.

My rating is a bit generous because they are new, but still would have been close to 5 stars anyway. Food was great and the atmosphere is awesome. Service was good, but has a little room for improvement, but I'll chalk that up to opening wrinkles and new staff. We will 100% be coming back!

We saw this place on Tic Tok and it was a major fail. Pros: The booths seating were comfortable. Plates were clean when available. Cons Not enough parking, and overflow was a dirt lot. Food mediocre quality - always out and supplied with random stuff. Orange juice was Tampico like very nasty. They charge for refills in drinks without tell you. Service was horrible. Egg station needs help and better equipment to keep up with the demand. Warmers were hard to open or broken. Plates were heavy and hard to hold while opening the warmers. Summary: They need to really put more time and dedication in creating this to be a quality restaurant.

Eat here! GREAT FOOD at very reasonable prices. This place has a bomb menudo, French toast, pancakes and much more! Come in the weekends and check out their All You Can Eat Buffet. I also recommend their mimosa flights!
