The food was ok. Everyone was really nice but they said the wait was 15 minutes and it was more like 30-40 min.

1st time & last time. The only saving grace was the Chicken Enchiladas for me to give 3* Very tasty. The rice and beans was just meh. HOWEVER..... From the outside coming in, was so much garbage and trash in bushes, parking lot, up along the building, behind the building, and all along the fence. When entering, I stood a solid 5 minutes at the front waiting for someone to greet and seat. Looking around it seemed they were grossly understaffed. Server greeted me timely and took my order for the enchiladas. 22min later my food arrives. At that time I asked to have some water and more salsa while the server was also talking on the phone while delivering my plate. 11min later she brings the salsa but no water and no check in with me even though I had my mouth full and pointed to the empty water glass. She just puts the salsa down and walks away, never to be seen again at the table. After finishing my meal, I sit for 10min and then walk to the front where the cash register is and stand there for 8min until she comes to the front. She says to me "Ready to pay?" I say nothing and pay. No tip. Not entirely her fault because owners are not staffing appropriately. These are all Red Flags of a doomed business waiting to collapse. All of it was not worth $19 for enchiladas and water with bad service. Won't re-patron or recommend.

We were craving a "Caldo"(soup) and came here. We got a Beef Soup & Shrimp Soup. It was good, but had waaay to much juice/broth for the 3 pieces of beef I got. I'm used to having a good amount of veggies, but this one really lacked it. However, the homemade flour tortillas were great!

Great food, actually fantastic! Poor service, waitress disappeared after giving us food, only had 2 tables and did not refill our drinks or check on us at all as our drinks sat empty.
