The traditional menu--including classic enchiladas, soft and crispy tacos, mesquite-grilled shrimp, sizzling fajita platters and made-from-scratch salsas--features lunch specials, create-your-own combinations and to-go options for more fast-paced patrons. Tequila makes its appearance in house margaritas and cocktails. Bringing the little ones? They're catered to with a kid-friendly, Tex-Mex menu.

The 3DiningDivas were out again tonight, and we decided to come here at the last minute. Our experience was one of those where you say you will never go back. Our experience started off with a bathroom that was very dirty. It was early evening, and they were not busy. There was no excuse, and an employee was also disgusted by the condition. You wonder if the kitchen is clean. We ordered coffee. They gave us regular coffee cups at first. When they asked us if we wanted a refill, they didn't have anymore coffee cups so they gave us foam cups. Why not just refill the cup we originally had? No clue. The waiter said "I can't believe that we have no more coffee cups in this place". Scarry! Two of us decided to share fajitas for two, but it looked like fajitas for one. The cost was $24, and it was not worth the cost. They did bring us extra chicken. We also ordered black beans instead of rice. Our order came out wrong and the waiter just blamed the kitchen staff. We don't care whose fault it is...we just want our dinner. The food was OK, but they never got the order correct. Then we decided we wanted dessert. The waiter said "you do"? Once we ordered it, it took so long to get it that we were just going to leave without getting our dessert and asked for our bill. The manager came out and told us if we waited just a few more minutes, she would give it to us free. You could tell she was just trying to defuse the situation and didn't really care about our wait. I left thinking there is no way that I will go back there.
Pros: Can't really think of any
Cons: Service and Cleanliness
