Visiting from Arkansas and the service was exceptional. Food was good and great atmosphere.

The place is classic. And the food is good. But why is a 90 year old Mexican restaurant using those cheap Taco Bell/Pringle taco shells? Just like Mama used to make? Muy disappointed.

I went on 5 de Mayo. I was very happy the wait was only 40 minutes compared to the 6 hour wait at other places. The margaritas were very blah it had a hint of alcohol. The food was ok nice and hot of the grill but it was missing something. I guess I wanted more for being 5 de Mayo 2018.

I'm eating at the Knoxville Tennessee location. The food is fresh, but very bland. The chimichanga is only chicken and tortilla with white cheese. It doesn't have any onions or flavor. The salsa is bland too. Soccer Taco is better.
