| Comments: | First, my boyfriend is Mexican, and this is one of the only places he will eat! The stuffed Poblano Pepper(w/Chicken and mushrooms)is to die for, but the only way they offer it is in the Corona Extra Dinner. The Steak Fajitas are THE BEST IN TOWN! Appetizer:Smoked chicken flautas, YUM! The only only problem is sometimes having to wait for a table...but order one of the Mercedes Margaritas on the rocks, and you will be happy to wait. Best Margarita I have EVER had. GREAT management and wait staff! We love you! |

| Comments: | Overall, a very disappointing dining experience, even for a
chain tex-mex restaurant. Food was so totally unremarkable, I don't even
remember what I ordered. I will never go back. |

| Comments: | I love the food, but somehow I have ended up with Andrea as my server more than several times and she has never once been able to keep something from going wrong. If she's working I demand another section. |

| Comments: | I used to love this place about 10 years ago. Recently my hubby begged me to go there with him and I got food poisoning from the empanadas and tacos. The nachos and salsa here are lame!!!!!!
The manager gave us $40 gift cert to come back but I just ended up giving them away. Not worth the hassle to go back |

| Comments: | My friend and I love to go to diff Mex restaurants and decided since I had a Gift card for this one, to try it. Service was awful, floors were sticky, tables too. Food took forever and there were only a handfull of people there. Salsa was bland, food was horrible and the drinks were weak. Started to order dessert but decided it wasn't worth the wait. Cost was $30 after the $10 gift card! What a rip off! |
