    I agree very much with the other two posters on here. Food was not great at all. We tried it even AFTER another friend had told us she had terrible food there as well. We figured we'd at LEAST give it a try for ourselves, thinking maybe she just got em on a "bad day". But, no - we had the same experiences as everyone else. Food is NOT even close to real Mexican, and the service was aweful as well. The place is obviously run by people who have never been in the foodservice industry or catered to the public. I will give em credit for clean restrooms. They must've got the problem fixed with the leak (that the other poster mentioned), but that won't make up for the rest, however. As others also said, the food was WAY overpriced, and i definitely agee that it's no better than Taco Bell. (In fact, I got much more for the money at Taco Bell along the same "quality" too - and I am not even a big fan of Taco Bell either - if that 'says' anything.)

    I never see anyone there - hardly ever, and now I can understand why! Wish I could say more on the positive side, but I really cannot find much good to say unfortunately.

    It's pretty much the "same ole" place as always - with new owners and a different name AGAIN!

    It was definetly not true mexican food at all. They have no idea what they are doing. It was fake mexican food made by americans, The rice didnt even look like rice, it was all black and burnt looking. The tamales were way too dry and no flavor. The burrito looked like something you could get at taco bell. And the guacamole looked like something out of a can if they even make it that way. I would not recommend it to anybody looking for true mexican food!

    I was really hopeful that I had found a good mexican restaurant, but I was totally disappointed. First of all the service was not good. The waitress was unfriendly amd unattentive. My husband asked for a high chair for our son and she never brought it. So we just ended up grabbing a chair from another table for him. Then when they brought out my fajitas, the garnish plate had shredded BROWN lettuce. Nasty. The fajitas were almost flavorless. The rice was the worst. It looked like it was burnt. A lot of it was black and it tasted bad. I had to ask for the guacamole that was supposed to come with my meal and when it came it was brown and tasted downright rotten. When I complained I was told that it is normal for guac to be brown. I have eaten a lot of guacamole in my life and it has always been bright green! To top it all off, there was a stream of urine running across the floor in the bathroom and when I told someone they said "oh, there is just a little leak." Needless to say I decided to go elsewhere to use the restroom. I am really sorry to say it, but this place was awful and from my experience I would say they know little about how to prepare mexican food. I love mexican food and have eaten at many true mexican restaurants and this is far from good mexican. And it was way overpriced. I was downright mad that I spent good money there and I am kicking myself for paying for it. I should have refused to pay for that garbage.
