THE OWNER HUMILIAT THE EMPLOYEES!!

by Angela777 at Citysearch

THE OWNERS LUCIA AND MARIO CANELA ARE IMMIGRANTS, BUT THEY ARE RACES, WHAT WE SAW ON THIS PLACE WAS JUST DISTASTING, THE OWNERS AND FAMILY HUMILIATES THEIR EMPLOYEES ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE HISPANICS, THEY DON’T HIRE LEGAL PEOPLE BECAUSE, THEY WANT TO ELUTE TAXES, OTHER WISE THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS.

DO GO TO THIS PLACE!!

My weekly Wednesday dinner!

by JackDaY at Citysearch

I've been coming here for YEARS. Every Wednesday, I typically order the bean & cheese burrito with chile verde on top. I indulge myself in the HOT and tasty salsas and cool it down with their very tasty & sweet ice tea.

Their abondigas is excellent as are their enchiladas and fish dishes. The only dish I stay away from is the liver & onions because well, it's liver.

The only drawback is a bit ironic. When the place is practically empty (and it normally is somewhat empty), the service is VERY slow. However, when the place has more guests, the service is great. Go figure.

  • Pros: Tasty hot salsa, great food
  • Cons: Service is slow
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

IF YOU REALLY LIKE GOOD MEXICAN FOOD GET YOUR TASE BUDS READY FOR A PARTY. THE CHILE

VERDE IS SOMETHING YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY, ASK FOR A SAMPLE IF YOUR NOT SURE AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN. THE MOLE IS AWSOME!! YOU JUST CANT GO WRONG WITH ANYTHING ON THE MENU. JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SAVE ROOM FOR THE FLAN.

  • Pros: GREAT FOOD, EXCELLENT PRICES, GOOD PARKING
  • Cons: A LITLE HOT IN SUMER
