I do not recommend this restaurant the food is bland has no flavor beans were runny chicken fajitas were mostly bell pepper. The few pieces of chicken I did get were like rubber very chewy. Salsa tasted like tomatoes nothing more. Chips were old. Save your money. Guacamole was absolutely the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten in my life. Not sure why this place is getting great reviews. Either these people are lying or they have never had good Mexican food. Save your money go to Taco Bell it will be better quality.
