One of my favorite places in the world to eat! Absolutely wonderful staff and my girl Olivia always knows how to make us feel welcome, warm and provided for. Amazing food and the atmosphere is incredible. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!

We will definitely be back to this establishment! The food was amazing, we felt welcome as soon as we walked through the door! The 3 of us had the house Fajitas with mixed protein. The portions are bigger than expected and absolutely delicious! We also shared a fried ice cream which was decadent for real! Brittany, our server, was great, very friendly, very helpful and there when we needed her! Everything is definitely a 5 star for us tonight!!

The staff are very friendly, patient and understanding. We were seated within like 2 to 3 minutes. Our waitress was helpful and let us take our time. The music is nice and we liked the atmosphere. The food was very good, fresh out of the oven, and colorful. I got the steak chimichangas.

Went for a Valentines date night. Had a small weight which was good however, after ordering our food, waiting a bit longer than usual one of our two meals arrived. Approximately 10 minutes later, our second meal arrived, which was cold almost still frozen. Finally got the attention of the server, who never returned to our table, informed her of the situation by this point, my husband had just about finished half of his meal. I asked to speak with the manager, which took about another 10 minutes or so. The manager seemed very unconcerned that food was being served cold. (half frozen). She offered to have the food remade at this point there was no point to that as he was already finished with his meal. When stating we wanted the meal removed from our bill, the manager finally (reluctantly) removed it from the bill but not before making us wait another 10 to 15 minutes to get this accomplished. Very unhappy customer here. No apologies from the manager is very poor service and a good way to lose customers.

The food is really good however this location is very shady and weird in my opinion. The service is strange the atmosphere is even stranger, you’re going to see some shady folks hanging out at the hotel that’s connected to it. I recommend getting take out to avoid spending time at the location.

My daughter and I are from out of town, and she really wanted some rice and beans. We were really looking forward to a good Mexican meal, but unfortunately, this place just didn’t meet our expectations. The Mexican rice tasted like the kind you buy in a box, and it just didn’t have the homemade flavor we were hoping for. My daughter was super hungry so she mixed it with her Beans ate what she could.
The salsa was also a letdown. It didn’t have much flavor or any of that fresh taste and spice we usually look forward to. When the salsa isn’t good, it’s tough to feel excited about the rest of the food.
The fried ice cream was probably the biggest disappointment. The tortilla shell was burnt and tasted bitter, and the ice cream inside was icy and just didn’t taste fresh. We were really hoping for that warm, crispy outside and creamy inside, but it just didn’t come together the way we expected. You know the ice cream is bad when a kid won’t eat it.
When it comes to the ice cream, we brought it up to our waitress. Instead of apologizing and offering a solution, perhaps a new one, or removing the item from our bill, they first offered us a $1 off our bill. Instead of management coming to our table, we had to travel to the bar to find her to try to get a better solution. Still no apologies. Told me maybe the cinnamon on the shell was what the burnt taste was. Definitely not. The ice cream we were told was fine because all the rest in the freezer looked fine. In the end, we were offered 3.50 off an ice that was inedible. They claimed that we ate more than half, but it was far from it
I’ve been in the restaurant business for 20 years, and no manager I have ever worked with would have worked so hard going back and forth with a guest to avoid having to refund $6.00.
Yes $6.00 isn’t much, and I definitely could have just paid it and been on my way, but my daughter really wanted that ice cream, and for her not to want to take more than 2 bites really tells you something.
I wouldn’t recommend this place unless they start using fresher ingredients and make authentic food.

Hole-in-the-wall places off the beaten track often make the best food! We stumbled upon this hidden gem a few years ago. I’ve lived on the border of Mexico, and am often critical of Mexican food restaurants. This may not be the best I’ve ever had, but it’s certainly very good, one of the best in Central Pennsylvania!

I had the 3 taco hard shell special with beef. The meat had NO flavor at all. Bland! Also had a tequila sunrise which had virtually NO alcohol in it. This is highly interesting because the young lady decided to proof me when I’m clearly in my fifties. It was a nice compliment, but unnecessary. A restaurant needs to read its customers a little better. I was placed in the middle of the restaurant at a table at my request, I could hear conversations from the waiters to each table. Multiple times I had heard that the kitchen does not speak English and has hard time communicating with its servers. This is a problem in any restaurant, I suggest you guys fix this. Language barriers can lead to food sensitivity issues and wrong orders. Seating was good, parking is good, it is part of a hotel, and the prices are decent. It’s probably good to recommend for a general stop and a quick snack but I would not come here for a special occasion. Thank you Brittney for being professional and cheerful.

Ok. The dishes are very well executed and presented. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and chill. One suggestion? Don’t be afraid of SPICE. You want those flavors to smack you in the face not hide demurely in a corner!

I stopped here while traveling. The host showed me to a seat, took my order, and delivered my food in a very short time. There was plenty of food on my plate, and it was delicious.
