Tex-Mex chain restaurant. I enjoyed the flavor of my lunch but the family found everything too spicy. Not too sure about the service and atmosphere was strangely not relaxing and had a spiritually dark feeling. Enjoyed the chips and salsa. Booths are small for four adults.
The food is fairly authentic with a twist to certain dishes. Portions are decent, and the chips and salsa are free, but the kids meals were fairly basic. I will say that the food pricing is a little steep, but it’s not surprising given their selection and in comparison to Chilis; they do have a great selection of alcoholic beverages though. If you’re looking for Mexican food that is a little more mainstream then this is your place.
Last time getting food at this location. I paid $7.29 for 7 tiny avocado fries. The tortilla chips were really stale. Cheese enchilada didn't really have cheese. The queso tasted fishy. Gives the company a bad name.
Phew! Let me tell you, I have never had every aspect of a meal be messed up like tonight. The queso came first. Before drinks. Before chips. What? Do I spoon feed queso? Straw didn’t come until the entree. Straw was broken. Sweet n Low didn’t come until I asked another staff member. The tortillas were tiny and not…whole… also, they were smaller than the chips. Nothing was hot. Besides the beans for whatever reason. Restaurant was super cold though. So I appreciate the steamy beans. Server (Hannah) was horrible (attentive to the table behind us). The other server was great (attentive to her tables and served us our food and my sweetener). I appreciate the manager comping half our meal, but unfortunately I felt this review to be necessary.
We had a lovely early afternoon lunch. The food was great. Kristi provided the BEST service we've ever had. The music is set to a reasonable volume so that you don't have to scream to have a conversation. My neurodivergent child was comfortable enough to not wear his noise-canceling headphones. We will definitely be returning often.
