“ Our waitress America really made it a wonderful evening for us. It was a big group of us ladies, 11 total and we were all very well taken care of. I ordered the combination fajita salad and it was so good! If you happen to eat here, ask for America, she is the sweetest! :) ”
“ I have been wanting to try this chain restaurant out for some time. I was seated immediately and brought my drink, chips and salsa. The salsa was very tasty but could have been a bit more hot. The staff was very nice and my order was brought out quickly. I had ordered fish tacos with rice and beans. They threw in some avocado slices, which was a nice surprise. All of the food was delicious. I would have finished my plate but I was stuffed. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I will definitely be back and I recommend this place to anyone. ”
“ Love the help here, and also, the waitress America took well care of us. The food was good, but dessert was delicious. Not to mention the flavored waters they had, and chips and salsa are so good it will make you want to slap the chef ”
“ I stopped by yesterday @7-ish. Placed order online and I don't recommend you placing it online if you don't know much like me lol. We been getting sour cream enchiladas for years but my sisnLaw/Sis been placing all orders all the time. She passed few years ago. So it was my first time yesterday and I didn't get sour cream for me cause I get sad so instead I got the brisket w/red sauce and the whole fam the sour cream enchiladas. Well, I got confused I thought on the question to choose your sauce I thought it was for the side order on sauce for your chips & it's not!! That's for your type of sauce on top of your enchiladas. Guess what I came home with Chile con queso on all my enchiladas instead of sour cream . Don't make the same mistake as me!! I went back and they're so understanding and they fixed it without getting frustrated . Luckily it wasn't packed yesterday. Mainly on the weekends it gets crazy busy but they're still quick. Thank you for the young lady that went to the back and fixed my order!! They even added a sample of one cheese enchilada and it was good!!! Can't wait to try the cheese enchilada again! My order came with chips&salsa My food was Delicious Good Customer service Friendly Understanding Clean 4 Plates total ***&one kids meal*** ”
“ Ms. Yesenia was exceptional and provided great service. My mom is hearing impaired and she was very attentive to ensure that mom was taken care of. We will differently come back. Location: Irving ”
“ Beautiful Restaurant with very good food. They have been in business since 1918! They are still short of staff since reopening from pandemic closures, but we spent the extra time enjoying the beautiful decor. The food was very good, and of good portions. We shared a giant chocolate and caramel sopapilla that was absolutely wonderful! If we lived here, we would visit often. ”
“ This was our first time eating here and overall I'd rate the experience a 9 out of 10 stars. I loved the server. It was a gentleman. He was very nice. Very tentative. He never let our drinks stay empty and kept our chip bowls full of chips and brought plenty of salsa. The salsa was delicious and the chips were fresh and warm. Very good. We all got different food. I got the brisket. The Anaheim brisket enchiladas I felt like the brisket lacked a little flavor, but that Anaheim chili sauce was delicious and made up for it. The rice was good. I didn't care much for the black beans. I should have asked for refried instead. My son got chicken tacos. He liked those. My son's friend got beef Street tacos. He liked those. My dad got a beef fajita enchilada and that tasted amazing. We got my Lil momma a kids meal chicken strips and pineapple juice. I got sweet tea to drink, the sweet tea was delicious I just know. Like I'd go back just for the sweet tea. We didn't get any dessert cuz we were very full from All the chips and queso and salsa and our Dinner plates. I felt like it was a good price for all the food we got. Our bill was 100. The food tasted fresh and it was absolutely delicious and the service was phenomenal as well. I wish you would have got the name of our server so I could recognize him and how good he was ”
