We dropped in after church, and were pleased with the food and service.When you arrive, you'll get the usual chips, with freshly made salsa. It was very good.We ordered dinner - my wife had their trio, while I had a chicken Burrito. The rice that came with the meal was good. The beans - I can say I've had better. They seemed out of step with the nature of the restaurant.We both tried their Margaritas, which were pretty good.

Bright, colorful tables and chairs make for a festive and welcoming atmosphere. The chips and salsa are at your table, along with your drinks, as fast you order them. So many delicious options...always fresh and served piping hot. The veggie fajitas are my favorite with a nice side of rice and beans. The Mexican cheese and guacamole are a perfect appetizer to enjoy as well. We will be back!

3. Taco Bell
Reviewed By AvWriter
We were looking for dinner. Downtown was slammed with a Friday Christmas parade, so we stopped here for the first time.You can order on the electronic boards as you enter the restaurant, or order at the counter. We ordered at the counter.The music was so loud I had a hard time hearing the quiet speaking counter service person. Maybe ear buds for the cook crew, instead of playing it that loud?We ordered the usual Taco Bell fare - a Beef Burrito, two hard beef tacos, and a Meximelt. The Meximelt was pretty good - lots of ground beef. The Beef Burrito isn't as good as you'd get from a real Mexican restaurant - it's tiny, soft, and good travel food, but not that filling.Cleanliness wise, this place could do better. The cook stations (you can see straight through from the front of the restaurants) were a bit disorganized. The cooks worked well back there but it didn't look very orderly.Our food tasted like Taco Bell fast food. The drink machine worked okay.If you are eating in in the winter time, make sure you wear your coats. It's a single door to enter, so you get a cold BLAST every time someone walks in or out. It was only 14 Deg F out last night (I know, people from Canada are saying "that's balmy" but it's cold down here) and the door was a distraction.

I was expecting more pizzazz to the food but it was just mediocre. Usually Mexican restaurants have some ambience, this one does not.
