Love everything about this place.  Really good food, great drinks and great service.  The ONLY item on their menu I don't really care for is their rice.  It's not authentic Mexican rice to me.  But everything else is great. I highly recommend the…More »

I love their food - everything (and I'm not exaggerating) I've ordered has consistently been excellent.  Their service is top-notch and their homemade flour tortillas are to die for.  Super clean restaurant.  I highly recommend this place.

Out of the 6-7 times I've been to this particular restaurant, only once have I enjoyed dining there.  The entrees are pricey and consistently leave us wanting.

On a different note - the ambience is lovely.  I adore the restaurant set-up - it's…More »

I have been eating here since 1979-80 when it was a shotgun style restaurant in same strip mall.  Love their food.  I have to admit though - some of their plates can get pretty greasy.  But they have the best Caldo de Rez I've ever had and really…More »

Their food is okay - I usually eat there when it's cold and rainy outside.  I like their jalapeño cornbread, but at times it's a bit on the dry side.  Their cakes are superb though.  FYI - it's only takeout - have to find somewhere else to sit down…More »

Am I Missing something (that the other reviewers noted); this has got to be one of the worst buffets I've ever been to.  (and I tried it twice).  The food is terrible - all of it!  No, on second thought- the frozen yogurt was passable.  Diner Beware!

Enjoyed our steaks the several times we've been to this location.  Love their coconut shrimp.  I appreciate how they really try hard to cook the steaks as ordered (rare, medium, etc.). Good customer service.

This strikes me as one of those chains which are hit or miss with the quality of their food - in part due to high turnover rates of cooks/staff  in places like this.
