    After 2am, don't worry about ordering a drink. They will just bring you water.

    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?
