What a wonderful experience, to refresh ourselves with a meal after the matinee next door.
The waiter was charming and the food brought out within a couple of minutes!
Good attentive service!
Santa (and the Grinch) were in attendance, and the place was hopping!

The food came out extremely fast, this tells me that the food we ordered was pre-prepared. It was still very good, and the chicken was in completely dry or anything. The flavor on it was just fine. Could have been a little moisture, but was not completely dried out. Tasted fine. The chips and salsa were very delicious. The salsa was very nice. Prices on everything we’re okay. A little higher than I would like, but at least the portion size matched some of the price. The waitress took a little while to get attention to get the check to leave. She was kind of goofing off with some of the other workers in the front. Had to waiver down several times before she finally noticed so I can get the check and a box. Has a nice looking bar area, I will have to remove one star because they do not offer a military discount. Other than that it was perfectly fine.

I had the Texas Fajitas lunch portion, my drink was an agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus iced tea). The portion was a pretty good size and the food was delicious, the staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean.

My family tried to enjoy dinner here. We went in and were seated promptly, we asked for a high chair and had to stand waiting for one until what appeared to be a manager noticed us and brought one. The high chair was broken, and they didn’t have any others. I would have loved to eat here but I couldn’t because of this, my toddler would climb out of the chair. Not really kid friendly.

WOW Cinco de Mayo! The place was packed tonight. About a 15 minute wait, as I approached the front door I figured it would be a much longer wait. The bar was set up in the outdoor patio serving awesome margaritas. Celvin and his staff kept everything moving smoothly, from the hostess, bar tenders, servers, food runners… they handled it just like an ordinary night. If you want the best Mexican food in the area, with the greatest staff, you will NOT be disappointed. The drinks, food and service are top notch. We’ve been coming here since they first opened in the early 2000’s. This place never disappoints. Do yourself a favor and stop on in.

Do not waste your money! This has to be the worst meal that I have ever had in the Triangle. Where do I start? I ordered fish tacos which were described as seasoned grilled fish with Mexican slaw, avocado, and pineapple sauce – what I got was cubes of bland fish slapped on a grill, placed in two large stone-cold flour tortillas, with a Dixie cup of shredded cabbage and carrots mixed with mayo (no seaanjng), a bowl of cheap mayo – just nasty, flavorless, and unappetizing. The pineapple sauce – canned pineapple pureed in a blender. My mother odered chicken quesadillas which came with a side of black beans that tasted as if they came straight from a can to the microwave, to the table, and so salty they were not edible. The Texas Margarita was decorated nicely but was watery. Never again will I come back to this restaurant. The service was poor. Our waitress had such a nasty attitude and I had the pleasure of warching two staffers at the front (next to our table) groping each other. This is the first time I have been here in a long time and the last time. This place has gone straight downhill. I posted pictures of this God-awful meal. This dinner was so bad that my to-go box went straight to the trash.
Never again. We should have gone to TGI Friday’s or Chilli’s.

I’ve just had the worse experience. I spent 27$ on lunch Texans fajita no steak replace with extra chicken and a side of cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was WATERED down as if they added some creamer to increase supply it was awful! It was cold so it was lumpy and watery really bad combination. I asked for the steak to be replaced with chicken but actually received less chicken and a normal amount of shrimp(8 jumbo). I also asked for no beans and replace with extra rice! Again the amount received was less than I would have expected if I got it with beans. Everything was cold when I placed the order at 1:54 and was inside picking it up at 1:58. I tried to express my dislike in the flavor and was met with scrutiny and disgust. I was told they will provide the cheese sauce for free but no refund(although I paid in cash). I was so disappointed the food was tasteless the service was horrible the fixtures were ineffective!! Save your time this place is not the same it was 5yr ago.

Went with my family my grandmother just wanted a simple chicken breast and white rice the food was good when we got the bill we were charged 17.50 for half of a chicken breast and a half a cup of white rice that was more than what we paid for two other meals that we got. When we asked why they would charge so much for so little food we were told that’s the price when we asked where that price was on the menu thy responded with well next time we can figure something out. I feel that the situation could have been handled a different way but ♀️. We will not be going back to this location due to the lack of customer service

We ate outside under a dimmer lighten so my pictures aren’t the best. But the food was great. I didn’t remember my dish, but there was sweet corn involved and poblano peppers. Very tasty. My friend had a burrito. I couldn’t try it because it has pork sausage. But it looked and smelled great.

We have been coming here for YEARS and have never had a bad meal or experience. Beef tacos, bean burritos, spinach quesadillas, chicken fajitas, cheese enchiladas, etc, etc…all are delicious. And the staff is THE BEST. Always super friendly, crazy quick and SO hard working.
Definitely recommend!
