We ate here probably 30 years ago. I remembered the patio atmosphere being enchanting. We recently moved to the area and were anxious to give it another try. Sadly we were very disappointed. It appears the owner lost interest years ago. The place was dirty and smelled bad. The food was awful. My husband ordered fajitas. He got a microwaved plate with some shredded chicken covered with cheese. When he told the waiter that he had ordered fajitas the waiter said they don’t serve them on a sizzling skillet. This place has a lot of potential but it really needs a new owner or at the very least a good manager to turn things around.

Came here during the summer. Chips and salsa was tasty. Margarita pitchers were even better! Inside dining area was intimate but the outside ambience was perfect. Can’t wait until it’s warm again!

It stunk in there I grew up on a farm I have smelled a lot on mouse pee That’s the first thing I smelt when I walked in. First time there and the last I hope I don’t get sick. Try putting money back into your Business.

Margaritas were decent, and that’s about the only positive thing I can say. Service was slow and confused. Food was absolutely terrible. No seasoning, no flavor. It was like an old white man made what he thought Mexican food should taste like without ever having tasted Mexican food. Completely terrible. Do NOT eat here.

When we walked in to this restaurant (which is in an old house) we weren’t sure we were in the right place so we wandered in where we were scolded and told to wait up front. The staff was rude minus the waitress who took over for us. She tried although when our order was messed up for all 3 of my daughters she blamed it on me ordering it wrong (I did not btw). The cook came out to make it right, but said “you won’t be back anyway” which really upset my husband. It was a bit expensive for what it is. The food was good ans the patio is lovely.

What a nice place. The waitress who seated us was a little uncomfortable but the owner made the experience much more relaxing. The patio is top notch. Great vibe. Reallllllly good food! Watched a hummingbird moth have dinner on the flowers adorning the lofted deck we day on. Just perfect.

When we got there, it took a long time for anyone to notice us to seat us at a table. Then it took about 15 minutes for them to take our order. The waitress was nice, but the food here is not Mexican at all. It is American. The waitress didn’t understand what soft corn taco shells were, and the chicken tacos I got were not Mexican at all lol. Plain, boiled, shredded chicken, cheese melted on the outside of the taco, and romaine lettuce and tomato on top. The rice and queso looked like they came out of a box or can. The margaritas were served warm with a separate cup of ice. The whole experience was really weird.

Wasn’t impressed by the service. As soon as we walked in we were treated like an inconvenience. Our server was all over the place and rarely checked on us, despite walking past us countless times. My order was wrong, I order chicken and got beef, and once again, seemed like it was an inconvenience. Wait time for food was also very long. I would like to be able to blame staff shortage, but based on other reviews, this seems to be a very common issue. I think we will stick to our local spots with outstanding food, better prices, and incredible service.

Horrible food and drinks. Service great. The dish came missing menu items. Food was tasteless and not authentic. Drinks were weak. Taco shell was old…horrible food. Do not waste your money…Taco Bell and Taco John’s are better!
