About this business

If there is a wait at this popular restaurant, order a classic margarita or a 'floater' and dip into the chips and hot sauce and/or queso. Before long, you will be addressing a plate full of the Tex-Mex standard of your choice. Or try any of the variations on barbecued chicken-the chalupas of this variety are especially tasty.

The food is not very good. It's prepared before hand and simply heated up when you order. My pastor tacos lasted like leftovers, the queso hardened in 5 minutes and the chicken enchiladas had no flavor. They just poured carne sauce and cheese over it and put it under a heating lamp :/ disappointed. I wouldn't return

Unfortunately, their witty signs don't quite make up for their bland, uninspired tex-mex food. Indicative of their food quality, the queso they serve is only about a single step up from the nacho cheese dispensed at 7-11.

Been waiting an hour for a server to come and give us menus, let alone clear our table from the crowd before. Beware, service is awful here.
