Don't go later towards closing. The carnitas were dried out like crispy jerky. The corn tortillas were hard. Beans and cabbage were ok. The best part was the guacamole, chips, and salsa. The last visit, the carnitas were super fatty. Previously, no complaints. Taking a break from dining here after rwo back-to-back bad experiences.

The albondigas soup is INCREDIBLE! Fair prices, decent parking, friendly employees. Woefully understaffed at times which can translate to slow service, but it’s a local family business that’s been in the community for decades so I extend them grace. The deserts are good too and they actually put a good amount of booze in their drinks which is nice. Love this place!

We weren't able to sit outside which is why we chose this place. They advertise outdoor seating. The booths aren't comfortable at all. Im short and the booth is so low compared to the table I felt very awkward. The chips and salsa were good. My husband ordered shrimp tacos and only ate one. He didn't like them and I ordered a steak burrito and taco they were ok. Service was slow. Could use some paint and cleaning of walls next to the booths. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Legendary. My grandparents loved gathering the family here when they were alive. The food is great. The 'meseros' are so friendly. Children and adults alike are drawn to the colorful murals and decor. Never had any food I didn't like, and I have probably eaten most of the menu by now. The tortilla soup to go is like a soothing miracle food for anyone feeling under the weather. It will heal your 'gripe'.

We had an overall nice lunch. Salsa was really good & the house-made chips were above average. The beans & rice are very good. I couldn't stop eating the coleslaw type salad until it was gone. I'm not sure why. My partner in crime's tacos were reported to be good. 1 chicken, 1 beef. Nothing more remarkable than the crispy shells were a bit of a mess. I had the Chile Verde & I liked it but it was not Chile Verde. It was carnitas in Verde sauce. It was really tasty but, my whole life in a family of Mexican heritage has had the pork stewed in the Verde sauce. Again, it was tasty but I won't be ordering it again. I'd definitely get the carnitas because that meat was fantastic. The flour tortillas were very good. I like them a little more done but my weird stuff is not their fault. At first, I thought service was slow for the maybe 6 tables seated. I then realized we were all getting our food served about the same time so it was more than likely bad timing with everyone ordering at the same time. Very reasonably priced. The decor is awesome. The booths are quite roomy. I'm an oversized man & there was almost too much room between me & the table. The tables are not fixed so I could have pulled it closer but that would've caused a bigger issue on the other side. We'll be back fairly regularly, I'm sure.
