So, this is hopefully a brief update to my past stellar reviews.
We recently ordered the family pack special, which went up a few dollars and now does that include the churos. If that wasn’t bad enough, the order of beans and spanish rice was about half of what it has been on all our past orders. Not good items to cut corners on.
I don’t want to stop ordering this great special, as it is a go-to dinner for us, but it needs to stay special.

This evening we decided to order in from a local Mexican restaurant, El Capitan, as they were promoting this special feast deal. It includes a huge delicious salad, a giant bag of tortillas chips, two tubs of a tasty & hot green and red salsas, four green enchiladas, four red enchiladas, four carnitas tacos, a boatload of Spanish rice, and very excellent traditional refried beans. All this for just $35. Incredibly yummy at a fantastic value!! They also had everything ready for pickup in less than 15 minutes. If you eat there they have a cool Mexican-style fun environment. 👍😎🌮

Seated on the lonely inside patio without asking. Chicken tacos were meh, chips stale-ish, had to hunt for salt. Service slow, zero warmth, waited forever for the check. Perfectly average, nothing more.

I had my mothers celebration of life here and the coordinator Emma was so kind and understanding. Everyone loved the food and thought it was a great experience. The waiters were fast and kind. I had an amazing experience here and I would highly recommend this place for dinner and for throwing event such as memorial services or birthday parties. I had an amazing experience and so did all the guess they came. They said the outside area was beautiful.

Young lady that waited on us was top shelf... "Martina" I think ..
Group of us stopped for drinks on a Sunday.
Would come back for sure.
Didn't eat but everything I watched being served looked and smelled delicious 😋

I would have given 2 stars if it was not for the Tamale and enchiladas combo. We went there for Mother’s Day and ordered sizzling fajitas combinations $29.99, which is supposed to be sizzling. It wasn’t sizzling and when I asked the waiter, he said food was hot, but it wasn’t. It was watery and became cold in few minutes. When they asked us how was the food, I told them it was cold, nothing was done. I would not go again. Also, they were not offering happy hours on Sunday due to Mother’s Day.
