understand what Mexican food is supposed to taste like. Definitely poor
quality, low in taste, and certainly not authenic. Save your money.

| Comments: | It tastes like many other "authentic" mexican resturants. Very tasty basic menu items- enchiladas, tacos, tamales- but well done. Great white cheese and fresh salsa. Try it! We'll drive 20 minutes to eat here. |

| Favorites: | Chicken Burritos |
| Comments: | Having gone there many times, I've always gone for the food and not the service. Now, because the service is so bad, I won't go back. The waiters are horrible and they don't care about helping the customers. It is obviously effecting their business because at lunch time or dinner time, there is always plenty of seating. The past times I've gone my son has ordered the kids chicken taco plate and gotten beef. I can understand this happening once, but four times in a row just shows the waiters aren't listening and don't care. |
