The restaurant is cute inside. I think I was there on a training day, there were so very many staff working but not a lot of attention or speed in response. Outside was nice you get a nice breeze and can people watch. The ambiance was casual. The food was super mediocre. I just don't think they cooked anything with any intention or particular flavor. The meat in the burrito was in two massive chunks and the beans and rice were al dente. I enjoyed the margarita special and they had a banana one which is fun and novel. I would recommend looking further afield if you are eating. But the drinks are good if that's what you are there for.

Me and my girlfriend went out for dinner here and were not impressed. The salsa was very salty and the sauce on the enchiladas looked like gravy. Overall it did not taste good and was expensive

Service was great ( thx Sierra), carne asada was very good, and ambiance is delightful. I just read all the other reviews and I think all the 4-stars are accurate. I save 5-stars for the likes of Javier's in San Jose del Cabo or Las Vegas (also 5x's the price). The 3-stars and under, I find to be unfair and unhelpful for those of us that travel for a living.

5/10 bean rating great bean flavor, on the almost too salty side, came out super hot, could tell was kept warm in bowl it came out in. Not mixed with salsa, so super thick dry texture. i did eat the whole bowl though.

Service was good, but everything was too salty. Chips were too salty. Cream sauce over chimichanga too salty. I wanted to enjoy my meal but it was packed with salt. An overhaul of the menu of how much salt is added would help.

I felt bad for the waitstaff because the food was so bad. The chips and salsa were clearly Sysco. The steak enchiladas were roast- not steak and extremely salty. Everything was covered in cheese, probably to hide the taste. I've had better chops and salsa from Costco. Terrible. Do not recommend

Wish I read reviews here before I had fajitas on the brain. Sat outside -pleasant night but people were smoking and vaping in the eating area. Sticky dirty menu. Ordered a margarita (best part of the meal even though it was weak and allegedly patron). Ordered the shrimp fajitas with guacamole and queso. When you receive your fajitas anywhere, part of the enjoyment is getting a plate of fresh sizzling hot food. Not here. Not one sizzle and shrimp looking half cooked. Guacamole was packaged and plastic tasting. Salsa was decent. Queso was marginal. Worst part was seeing the uncleaned shrimp. Stopped acting at that point!! I do not recommend and will not return.

Old school family Mexican restaurant, not an 'authentic' Mexican joint which is a good thing as there are way too many of those around with similar mediocre food and service. The Super Burrito here is legendary and I really don't bother ordering anything else anymore but I've had their Chimi and it is also excellent. Great location and service as well.
