  Let me start with the nice before I have to say what I have to say. The place looks nice. Beautiful décor, nice colors, unique looking chairs and tables. The waiter we had was very nice. Approachable, professional, and polite. The chips with the salsa were nice too. With all that said, now I am going to focus on the food: The food was not good. I was with a group of friends today. I had a burrito and so did my friend. This thing came in piping hot, but the food wasn't. This was not a good sign already. The burrito was wide and flat with an obscene amount of lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and sour cream. You would think that when you think of Mexican food, you would think of bold and delicious flavors. This is not it. Sure, there was plenty of filling. However, the filling was BLAND! The only thing giving this droopy burrito any life were the sauces it had, but it didn't had flavor. Not to mention, the filling had a weird texture too. Some bites were good, some were gummy / hard and unpleasant. It just comes off as the food was old and had to be reheated which would make sense why the plates were piping hot but the food really wasn't. Now someone may ask: "Why can't you ask for another plate?" My answer is I am on a time crunch and if this is what they are serving me and my friend with, that is what they are going to serve again. Even my friend made a comment that this was missing flavor. The sour cream should not be a substitute to add flavor to the food. It should come with it. However, all of this can be forgiven if it wasn't for the fact that not even ten minutes after I left, I threw up. I know it wasn't just me because my friend also was feeling nauseous all day after eating this. So imagine this: You pay for bland food with a flabby burrito with weird filling which makes you throw up. This isn't right. Me and my friend agreed to not come here again along with the rest of our group. This isn't cool. This is not right. This was just a gross and awful experience. No hate for the waiters or the location. The food however was a waste of time, money, and a general waste of ingredients.

  Atmospheres OK but my biggest concern is there but their beer mugs they taste like Clorox or bleach your terrible they need to change that before they get people sick in there. I have my beer and I had them poured into a glass because it’s terrible

  We’ve been here twice and the food is pretty good. Everything we’ve tried (chicken fajitas, chicken rice bowl, burrito & carnitas) were excellent. The salsa for the chips is also really good. I don’t drink alcohol so I LOVE that they have the natural juices, and they come in a huge cup. I also LOVE their guacamole and I usually hate it. The thing that got them one star off are the refried beans. A good Mexican restaurant should have good refried beans which would also mean a great bean dip. The bright orange rice is also lacking flavor. The staff is friendly and we’ve been seated right away. We’ll be back.
