  Has a fantastic staff. Food is good quality. It's one of our go to places. Sometimes it does get crowded, but we have never waited a long time for a table. Does get very loud due to the music. Worth a try.

  Food was pretty good. Meat was on the tough side but not terrible. The service was atrocious. After we got our food it took forever to get a refill, got a refill on chips but they forgot the salsa.

  Went for Lunch on Sunday about 1210 and still wasn't busy. Got seated fast. Service was ok, seemed to have a few tables but also missed checking on us at times. Fajitas for 1 will feed 2, but might need an additional order of tortillas.

  This is some of the best TexMex in the area. It's TexMex but they do have some authentic Mexican dishes. They do have a full bar that's always a plus. Over the ambience is great and the food is great. The place is clean and the people are friendly. I definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be returning.

  In town for the weekend so I picked this random restaurant. Got a table quickly on a Wednesday evening. However, it was clear that the table had not been cleaned as the previous diner's receipt and a few other things were still on it.
  
  Service was efficient but it was clear that the server could not wait until better career alternatives opened up. I wasn't offered any silverware but instead used the wrapped set that was already on the table presumably left by the previous diners.
  
  I ordered fajitas and the were delivered to my table in less than three minutes. They were clearly prepared ahead (probably in a slow cooker) and then put on a sizzling fajita plate for service. The fajitas were tender and decent, but lacked the grill flavor that I expect from fajitas.
  
  The salsas and chips were off. I normally devour all of the salsa but one of the two options seemed to be enchilada sauce. Both salsas went largely untouched. And I don't even know what was sprinkled on a few of the chips but not the others.
  
  For me, the big turn-off of this restaurant was the cooked-on black crust that was stuck to the fajita skillet visible once I ate all of the steak and onions. I'm not convinced the fajita skillets get washed regularly but instead are sanitized by fire.
  
  Overall it was an okay experience and the value for money is quite good. From the time I ordered to the time I left was 18 minutes. If they focused on the details, it could be a much better experience.
