Always great service. Lots of great choices. Mostly booths with a couple of tables for larger groups. Came again to do a fajita dinner. Just great! And dinner came in 7 or 8 minutes! Come hungary! 2 big places per order!

Pros: * Friendly staff * Table is always clean * Positive / happy environment * Patron margaritas on the rocks are the best here! * Food is always the right temperature and not over-seasoned * There's never a wait, however I like to go when it's a little busy so I can have 2 by the time we're done eating * Music is not too loud, depending on where you're sitting...it would be nice to hear it a little more :) Cons: * There's really nothing bad about this place that I can think of! I've been here for almost 3 months and I come here ALOT ... more than 20 times!! They should give a punch card for regular customers! **Recommendations:** *Patron margarita on the Rocks no salt ( it's so smooth, I can only handle two ... it sneaks up on you, and after one I'm really relaxed) no salt rimmed, if you don't like salt being inside you drink. **You know it's a good drink when you're not making a disgusting face, because all you taste is alcohol and not the margarita mix /or/ you're not only taste in the margarita mix, but it's a good blend and very enjoyable!** As many times as I've been here, you would think I would have pictures ... but I don't. I enjoy the environment, food, and the drinks, that I don't even get on my phone. I just realized this is the only restaurant that I go to and don't even glance at my phone. That should say a lot!

I've eaten at my fair share of Mexican restaurants...this is by far THE best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to! We were greeted pleasantly and seated pretty quickly, especially for how busy it was. Server was excellent and brought our drinks out right away. I had a melon margarita while my spouse had a Pacifico. The food was also brought out in a timely fashion and as stated above, it was the best Mexican food I've ever had. I ordered two cheese enchiladas while my spouse ordered a fajita quesodilla. I meant to take a picture of the food but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it long enough to get a picture!
