    Good food. Service was great until food arrived then our waitress was not around. Needed utensils for my daughter but never received. The bill took almost 20 minutes after we were done eating. Would go back because of the quality food hoping for better service.

    We were a little underwhelmed - the food was very average and there isn't much ambiance. We had to get our main courses heated up since they were lukewarm. The waiter we had was very personable and provided good service. Overall, there are lots of better mexican restaurants in this price range.

    The food is consistent, even tho the chain has been sold. Corporate, I assume? it does not change my opinion of the place and especially the food . Minor point, the chips could be better as the salsa is a 10.
