    Great food and good service!  Had never been here before and now twice in one week.  Both times I had the chicken burrito and enchilada and refried beans.  Today we also had the buffet, plenty of variety, hot and quality food.  
    Carlos the manager checked on us several times and ensured we had a great experience.  
    Not sure about the negative reviews but we have experienced nothing but good food and service.  
    The outside dining was a nice option and the authentic decor is amazing!!

    I'm sorry to give this place a poor review, because it used to be so much better! I used to go and have a great time, and the place would be packed. It's not like that anymore.

    The service was SO slow. For a weekend dinner, they only had three people to act as waiter/hostess/bartender; I had to wander around the restaurant looking for my waitress, and at times requested help from the other two staff members because I couldn't find her.

    And my margarita (on the rocks, not frozen) tasted the way that kitty litter smells. Ew.

    No wonder this place offers a Groupon: the business clearly isn't doing very well.

    Food and service are good as are the ambiance and decor.  However the smell of cleaning products always gets to me whenever I walk in and for a place that smells like floor cleaner it doesn't feel that clean.

    Food was delivered fast and hot!  Salsa was delightfully chilled and the chips were warmed nicely. Food was delicious!  Atmosphere was very Mexicany and beautiful. Bathroom was clean and well stocked.  
    Can't want to go again!!
