This has been our favorite Mexican food in the valley for over 7 years now. We used to eat it several times a month but since after COVID their prices have been too high. A lot of restaurants did that to make up for lost revenue, I get it. We just go about once a month now. Service is usually ok and it's a traditional ambiance. Still delicious

Second time at this place. Super vibey and very busy. Food is good. Drinks were ok. I would not suggest the pitcher of Margarita though as the ice just waters it down. The chimichanga chicken and beef were great. Beef was better tasting. The Shrimp with creamy chipotle sauce was also nice tasting - not spicy but they have a spicy salsa on the side that is available upon request. The steak fajita though was super tough. They replaced it and it was as tough as the first one - I just let it be since our waiter was so nice. Overall, not bad at all.

Great little place. We sat outside in the back on a Saturday night. Servers are friendly. They brought out chips and salsa right when we sat down. We ordered fajita trio that was sooo good, we were eating it without the tortilla cuz of how good it tasted. Definitely will come back!

I went at 5pm on a Saturday. The dining area wasn't crowded but the bar had only one seat left as many people were there watching football. Bartender was friendly and attentive. The beer selection was not large (pretty typically for a Mexican joint) but the menu was thorough. They brought me chips and salsa with my beer while I waited for my meal. I got a carne asada plate. The meat was perfect - seasoned well and soft. I told the waiter to pick whichever was better between refried beans and black beans. He sent refried which were tasty and not greasy. I don't usually eat the rice but even that was good. Only thing that was a little disappointing was the size of guac that came with the meal. It was a bit bland. There are two locations. I went to the one over by the Embassy Suites hotel.
