Terrible!

by starla776

The bartenders are total jerks and talk about everyone behind their backs.Also the drinks are cheap but way too strong. The margaritas are mixed with white wine in a pre-made jug ,then topped off with cheap tequila.The only thing good about the place is the friendly customers. Overall... I'd say it's not worth the hangover!

  • Pros: Cheap drinks
  • Cons: Bad service

Go somewhere else and save yourself from getting pissed off

by ELIZABETH JOHNSON

The staff is so rude. We put our names in for a table for 10 people, after waiting over an hour, we checked on our table they would not seat us until ALL the guest arrived (WHO DOES THIS??). We advised the host (who is the owner's son) that we only had 8 guests, he would not seat us until everyone showed up...things happen and people who say they are going to make sometimes can't. So we advised this guy with the biggest power trip ever that it was just 8 people and we were all there could we be seated. He told us that we had to wait AGAIN now for a table of 8, this is the most ridiculous policy to make 8 people wait, as if he were punishing us for our NO-SHOWS. They talked to us as if we were bothering them. I think he has SHORTMAN SYNDROME with this power-trip he carries. I will never go to this restaurant again., besides the rude staffing, their Mole dinner stinks!!! They should also be investigated for what they put in their Margaritas never had a margarita that made me feel like that one did. This restaurant is totally over-rated, and the owners do not appreciate their customers.

  • Pros: Once you go there you will never go back.
  • Cons: Staff is rude, food is bad, no parking!!

Delicious Food, Tasty Drinks and Great Prices

by TheSnackingOwl

I always get the Chimichangas. Love the margaritas. Fridays are their busiest nights but perfect on a weeknight or for Sunday brunch.

  • Pros: food, drinks, prices, and decor
  • Cons: sometimes crowded and service will lag as a result.

The food and drink are good; the patrons are ignorant crackers

by ValleyRat

The food is hot and flavorful, the kind you simply can't get outside of Southern California. The drinks are strong. It's the locals that make the place intolerable - why west Valley hicks would even go to a Mexican restaurant when they hate non-whites so much is beyond me.

  • Pros: Food, drink
  • Cons: Locals

Average Food

Just average

by Opinion8d

My family and I used to love this place - we'd brave the crowds to eat here frequently. We took a break and I'm sad to say after a couple of mediocre experiences we're going elsewhere. The food was just average but on the expensive side (no lunch specials). The iced tea was from a machine - seriously, this is a huge restaurant - they can't brew iced tea??? I predict they'll continue to lose customers unless they want to focus on quality, value for the money and good customer service.

To sum it up - go if you want just a margarita and some chips in the bar - don't go it you're looking for a great tasting Mexican meal with friends and family.

  • Pros: good margaritas
  • Cons: food is just "eh"

Rude staff - medicore service - good food

by stareee21

The staff is so rude.

I would never recommend this place to anyone ever again after my last experience.

I used to go for the food because the food is pretty good, but I've had more than 2 bad experiences with the service staff etc. that I'll never go back.

I wrote a complaint to the manager.

I went on a double date, made reservations 5 days in advance.

When I got there there was no record of my reservation even though I had given my name and phone number to who knows who?

The woman at the front gave me the biggest attitude basically called me a liar and told me she didn't care and I wasn't on there so we had to wait.

It sucked.

  • Pros: food is good - lots of people
  • Cons: staff is rude
