Ђорђе ГлигоријевићDecember 21, 2018This place is quite a jewel. It makes very very good (and large) dishes. I can definitely recommend ‘chile colorado’ or any of their enchiladas!
Jan B.November 18, 2011Great service and knowledgeable! I had never tasted mole sauce and he got me a small bowl to try with my chips! Found out it is delicious!! Generally a "Now" Groupon available.
Shikamaru NaraSeptember 17, 2014The food is pretty tasty, but not visually appealing as you can see. The service is slow, but the person handing out chips, salsa & drinks is fast. Salsa could be spicier, but I like the thickness.
ScottJanuary 5, 2018Convenient location near the movies. Not crowded. Good service. Traditional Mexican food.- Jan B.May 5, 2012Great Mexican food and great, timely service! We love this place because after lunch we can go to the movies next door!
Food is good, but I would suggest going to the bar and kitchen and getting it yourself. Every time the service gets worse. Today we've been here 15mins. The servers look at us then walk away.
Anthony YouhasSeptember 7, 2014Liked the food! Didn't like not being told that table-side guac involved an extra charge. Not thrilled with idling for 20 minutes because only the manager could process my coupon. Fine!... but flawed.
Cat GurinskyNovember 18, 2010Went here for lunch the other day, had a good quesadilla. Their chips were really addictive, I couldn't stop eating them!
hilary l.July 21, 2013The service in the bar area is TERRIBLE. We sat for 20 minutes before we finally gave up & ordered at the bar with the bartender.
Dallas BrysonJune 24, 2011Correction: they left the soup on the original bill (so I guess I'd pay for it if I'd left cash?) But didn't charge my card for it. App sampler description says it includes "corn ramaleS"
Guacamole is great. Queso is awful. It's a solid lump of greasy cheese. Really nasty.
- Dallas BrysonJune 24, 2011Service was bad (took forever to get water and longer to get refills), soup was awful (sent it back after 2 bites and they still charged me for it), sampler platter was so-so. Not recommended!
Erick HawkinsJuly 18, 2010Food is worth it I you can get past the poor service. Been here a few times an I'm always "forgotten." Drinks go empty, service is slow, and you wait forever for the check. And they canceled brunch!
Heather YurkoAugust 15, 2010Go during off-peak hours. The service was fine and the chicken fajita salad even better! #primal
Jonathan LederJune 5, 2011Haven't had customer service this bad in a while. They aren't normally this bad, must be a busy night.

"They are on fandango, so buy tickets in advance to skip the line. Also, try the gourmet popcorn- the mixed cheese and caramel popcorn for something different."
