Most Disliked
While many enjoy the ambiance, some guests find the dim lighting a tad outdated or lacking during the day. A few diners have mentioned that the space can appear a bit cramped during peak hours, especially on busy nights when tables fill quickly. The parking lot, although free, tends to get congested due to its strip mall location, occasionally leading to a search for a spot, especially on weekends. A couple of reviews point out that while the food is generally delicious, consistency can vary during extremely busy times, affecting the overall dining experience. Lastly, as the restaurant is an older building, some may notice that it shows its age, which could detract from the fresh culinary experience.

This is our go to Mexican restaurant in the area. The servers are all nice and the food is always good. We usually do the La Paradilla or the Burrito Roqueta, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any item off the menu. We also really enjoy their mango margaritas. Not too strong, but strong enough! The restaurant is a little dark inside and outdated, but it’s an old building. The parking lot can get crowded as it’s located in a small strip mall type area.

Coming from Los Angeles I’ve been searching high and low for the food and feel of authentic Mexican cuisine! Found it! Finally! The food was excellent, the restaurant is so completely unsuspecting. Once you walk in it shocking how different it is from the plaza it sits in! The waiter was QUICK AND EFFICIENT! The portion sizes are ample and the chips they bring out were FRESH! 10 outta 10. Definitely go back!

The outside is small, but the inside has more than enough space. It's well maintained considering traffic (in and out as far as dining). Our server was awesome. He helped with suggestions, and ensured our meals were prepared right. The food was delicious and my cup stayed full. One of the best (strong taste not watered down) cokes I've ever had at a restaurant. You better come hungry, because the portions are more than generous. Plenty of nacho chips too!!!!!

Usually great but today. Friday August 22,2025... Very disappointed. Got our go to meal Texas nachos. They skimped on everything! And the margarita was very watered down! Y'all let me down today.
