    Absolutely terrible! Awful service, awful food, awful drinks, awful price! Worst Mexican restaurant I have been to yet. Save yourself time, money, and disappointment by going somewhere else!!

    The Pastor alacart is way tasty. Agreed the service isn't always great but the food certainly is.

    Run don't walk away from this place. Ate here for years until found a cockroach in the charro beans! Pointed it out to management and they acted like business as usual. Never again!

    BE CAREFUL! Don't eat the food. My wife and I and our friends got VERY sick here recently. Not a safe place to eat, Not to mention their infamous roach problem.

    Agreed, the service sucks everytime I come. Food is ok, but for midnight and beyond...does it really matter?

    Do not come here for breakfast, totally different story. Bland, lukewarm, not on par with usual Mexican breakfasts.
