Delicious! Fresh food, the chicken Empanadas are AMAZING, and the salsa they have is top notch. I always buy a QUART of salsa before i leave. Only $6

I don't usually write reviews. Great food, awesome service, highly recommended. I suggest the Jeffe margarita. I accidentally left my leftovers at the restaurant for about a half hour (something we've all done) but I really wanted my burrito so I called in and the manager there was more than happy to have the kitchen re-make my whole meal and added a fresh bag of chips + salsa. Faith in humanity restored.

The tortilla chips were good and tasted like they were house made, as did the salsa...only problem is, they couldn't keep them coming. I can't blame it on the service staff, but more the lack thereof. The house was pretty full (not packed), predictably so for the time and day, but yet there were only two servers. We only had them stop by our table 3 times in the hour we were there. We both got the endless tacos, which started out really good, but by the second order were very sloppy and thrown together. We had no water about 50% of the time, and they charged us extra ($1) for the tiny saucer of sour cream my fiance requested. Will not be returning.

Update: I lied, we received another gift card for this place and decided to give it a second chance...

This time, the service was really good (not exceptional, but no problems at all). The food, on the other hand, was merely acceptable. Prices were a little ridiculous and serving sizes certainly did not reflect on this. Chips were a bit too salty for our tastes. Not a restaurant I would ever go to unless you paid me (literally).

We ordered the unlimited tacos for $8.99. My wife order the crispy shell, I ordered the soft shell one of each variety, chicken, beef and carnitas. (three come with the order and if you want more you can do so. We didn't) They were terrible, way too spicey, the rice was dry and the taco shells were old. The table next to ours returned their food, I'm now sorry we didn't. Save your money and go to Taco Bell, at least there you get value for your buck. Never again.
Oh and the menus were greasy and filthy.

The food was merely a "meh" in my book. It was on par with Azteca and Inca in my book. I ordered a grande chicken taco salad. The chicken was a bit dry. But, whatever. I didn't have high expectations to begin with.

The entertainment that accompanied the meal was the best part of my experience here. And by entertainment, I mean Sierra. Or was it Ciara? Not to be confused with R&B-Pop sensation, Ciara. Where is her career these days? I couldn't tell if she was being snappy, or if her sense of humor was just that awesome. She did a great job of making our "live" guacamole. It's hard to mess up a guac dip. The tortilla chips - which were half of the size of my face (and I have a big head) - made eating the guac a bit uncomfortable, but , whatever.

I would probably come back here, only on the condition that Ciara performed her smash, hit single '1, 2 Step'. Oh, wait. Wrong Sierra. Anyways. Again. Yeah, sure why not? This is the most useless Local review I've ever written.
