Kathy C
The food is very delicious and they mean he has enough for everyone to find something they would like. The service was good as well. Several TV screens had various sports on. They had kind of like a half outdoor patio type seating within the building and then the smaller what might have been the original restaurant seating. I had the enchilada and taco combo number one it was very good My husband had a chilli Relleno combination.

Have eaten here many times in the past when working nearby. Good food, reasonable prices. Looks like they have done some renovations in patio and dining area since my last visits years ago. I got their shredded beef wet enchilada burrito with red sauce. Good flavor, beef very tender. Good portion. Chips and salsa good. A friend ordered the fajita platter, that is probably one of their top dishes. Came sizzling hot, lots of grilled veggies. Looked as good as I remembered, really large portion. If I had been more hungry the Fajitas would have been the call. Would go back again for sure. Only negative a little slow on beverage refills but server was very nice came to check on us 3 or 4 times before we ordered.

Me and my cousin stopped by for lunch ordered a couple of tortas of Carne Asada. The torta was just okay .We also ordered fries that were good. I've been here several times through the years.They have good food.The sea food is really good .The structure is roomy with outside dining under a canopy The walls are decorated nicely with paintings.The customers service is courteous and friendly. There's plenty of parking with the handicap stalls at the front entrance

Small portions to be honest but the food taste good except the rice that stuff was dry and tasteless. I had beef and chicken fajitas and my date had the cheese enchiladas. she said they were delicious. The breans were good and the waitresses were very nice. But that rice was criminal.

Good overall experience, good food, good atmosphere. Tried the Enchilada,beef taco and shrimp cocktail. The cocktail was good and flavorful. The enchilada was above average. The chip salsa was good, chips were a bit stale,but okay. Service was average, overall good experience and worth trying. The Cadillac Margarita was average at best.

Been very sad that all of the classic Mexican restaurants that I grew up with are gone in favor of the "Instagram" type of places (food that looks good, but tastes like it was fried 2x in the back of a food truck). This place was not that, it was really pretty good. The menu is large and has all of the staples, but the prices were a bit high. Service was stellar, even though it was busy inside, we were always handled. The only dig against the place is that it's in a WEIRD location. It's in the middle of a bunch of industrial yards.

Staff did a great job with our party of 40, quick with the refills and food service. Liked the outdoor seating; helps to avoid covid and appreciate some of the staff wearing masks. Food was alright, the chips and salsa included. The rest could use a revamp on seasoning with bold defined flavors for the food; a little bland. Portion sizes were decent for the price Parking was ample
