Just ordered to go and the black beans were extremely SALTY…I can’t exaggerate but it tasted like a handful of salt was dumped on them and mixed 🤬 …I fed it to my toddler before realizing & to add my enchilada was cold! The tortilla soup was the only thing edible ugh 😑

The staff, Michaela was awesome. The food was sub standard. Salsa not the flavor you expect in a Mexican restaurant.

This specific location has gotten so much better. Im not sure if they changed owners or what, but their food is so much better than it used to be. I also like the change they did to their salsa. Service is usually pretty good here as well and not to long of a wait.

The only reason I gave it a 1 is because I cant given it a 0. The pictures you see on here are doctored. We went to this location on 12/12/25 around 8:30 The food was horrible. I sent mine back.The restaurant was empty. That should have told me to run. Chips was all broken even to hot sause changed. Service was so slow for it to empty. NEVER will I go to an ON THE BORDER again.
