Great experience. Love coming here for after work queso and margs. If you are staying for dinner the street tacos are awesome. Staff is friendly and always hustling around the room.

I give this place 55 because the service is quality, they have good chips and salsa, and their queso fundido is so good. Every time I eat here the food is fresh and flavorful. You get a good amount for the cost. It is a more Americanized Mexican restaurant but nonetheless very good.

Excellent experience. The service was amazing and the food was better. Very attentive staff who greeted us with a friendly demeanor and checked on us often as well as made suggestions. Definitely some of the best Mexican food in the area.

The dishes were huge portions and we all had leftovers to take home. Service was OK. We did have to track down the waiter to get the bill. The atmosphere is standard Mexican restaurant. The Walgreens next door seems a little sketchy. Lots of people hanging outside the front door.

What a find! Delicious Mexican food with offerings not found at other similar places. The El Toro Chimichanga was so good. I enjoyed having the black beans in the cheese sauce instead of the typical refried beans. The rice is cooked ...
