As a prior restaurant owner, and manager I really understand the complexities of running a successful restaurant. However, it takes actual management, who knows and cares. And the understanding that in a restaurant the only smells you want are from food! We were celebrating our anniversary and decided to go to a "nice" place. This was on October 22, 2019. I guess going with an hour till closing was cutting it too close to the shutting-down time, because they seemed way more interested in cleaning up, sweeping, moving chairs, and MOPPING THE FLOORS WITH BLEACH, than waiting on the customers. The food is, at best, average. I had a chili relleno that was embarrassing to be called that. Along with dried refried beans and old rice. My wife had a Charly Burrito, which was again, pretty average. We both had a margarita to start the meal, and those were fine. Service was spotty, as everyone was interested in pre-closing. To get a soda refill, I had to go find a server! But, the absolutely worst thing was the BLEACH!!! They said the kitchen employees must be scrubbing the floor, and somehow the door has opened. No one made an attempt to CLOSE THE DOOR!! It was SO strong, I wondered how the employees didn't pass out! I actually threw some money on the table and we left! Allergic to such strong bleach, I was chocking in the parking lot for several minutes before I could get in the car. And, remember, I have worked much of my life in restaurants and foodservice. This place was absolutely terrible that night!! We planned to have a nice dining experience, knowing we're paying more than most other Mexican places, but it turned into a CRAPPY experience. NO WAY can I recommend this place to anyone. I've been there before, but it was a while ago. This is not the same place as before. Stay away!

My family and I ate dinner here the other evening. We were seated immediately and served. The menu was loaded with a variety of foods and Margaritas! I have to say the loaded nachos and Margarita I ordered was probably the best Iâve ever had. And since I was visiting from out of state I know Iâll always be comparing this restaurant to the ones I frequent back in my home state. The service and atmosphere was excellent also. I will be back!
