    Our waiter was amazing!!! He was kind funny, paid attention to detail and just a great waiter The fajitas were amazing but the recipe on the barbacoa and the chicken changed over the years. Also the corn cake on all the meals were inconsistent one meal got a little more. I have been going to ET for 30 years and slowly but surely the portions get smaller and recipes change. I still love it there so doesnt change anything!!

    We were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated on time. The margaritas were from out of a can and we waited a bit to get these drinks. The food dishes took way too long to arrive to our table. The waitress was very friendly but they seemed short-handed. The food was okay (not Mexican authentic) but the wait was just way too long. The ambiance was not very good at all. It felt like we were in a windowless diner somewhere in Sioux City, Iowa. We will not return.

    We actually spoke to the manager while we were at the restaurant today to tell him how great our experience was every time we come to this location. The food gets better every time we go and the service is impeccable. The customers always seem to be having fun and enjoying themselves.
